Galleon, sind mit absoluter Sicherheit eine der besten Skandinavischen Prog-Bands überhaupt. Album Nr. 6!!! besticht mal wieder mit wunderschönen Melodien zwischen Pendragon und Rush. Neo-Prog auf hochklassigem Niveau! - ''''This one surprised me! Galleon are a four-piece neo-prog outfit from Sweden that play one of the sorts of music that I rarely tire of: melodramatic vocals superimposed on a rich keyboard/guitar symphonic background. When that style is composed well (like here), it's great, and when it's not, it's the worst stuff on earth. I'm gladdened and surprised how much I enjoyed Beyond Dreams. Unlike many modern neo-prog albums, it moves along at a brisk clip for almost the entire album. The instrumental sections remind a lot of the faux-heaviness of IQ's Subterranea, particularly in the Orfordesque keyboards of Ulf Petterson. Beyond Dreams will appeal to neo-prog fans who are looking for more of the same. It's a fairly typical neo-prog album, but the level of quality is high.''''
