Análisis (en inglés) - :
Something that always seems to draw the ire of {\rock} fans is when a veteran artist decides to suddenly change his sound to fit with current trends in hopes of winning over a new set of fans. This certainly isn't the case with {$Chris de Burgh}'s 2004 release, {^The Road to Freedom}. Continuing with the same stately and pristine sounds that resulted in a flirtation with the U.S. Top 40 during the mid-'80s ({&"The Lady in Red,"} etc.), {^Freedom} could have easily been released in 1984 rather than 2004. As a result, the focus remains the same -- stark arrangements, {$de Burgh}'s {$Peter Gabriel-esque} vocals, {\new age-ish} lyrics, etc. The string-heavy {&"Snow Is Falling"} may sound a bit too much like a tender Broadway {\ballad} for fans of {&"Don't Pay the Ferryman"}; likewise the more sonically understated {&"Songbird."} {$De Burgh} does pick up the pace elsewhere (e.g., {&"What You Mean to Me"} and {&"Read My Name"}), but it all tends to sound the same from both a musical and emotional standpoint. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
