Exodus — The Most Beautiful Day
Review by Patique (progarchives.com)

4 stars Absolutely masterpiece of Polish Progressive Rock.

The only reason why didn't gave maximum stars to "The Most Beautiful Day" is that this album isn't any musical discovery. Exodus used in a perfect way the best influences from Western Europe bands.

It's hard to select the best track from this album become all of them present very high level. After the first listening the most memrable one is "Zіoty Promieс Sіoсca" ("Golden Ray of Sunshine") with strong Wіadysіaw Komendarek's synthesizer part and great singing of Paweі Biruіa (named as Jon Anderson of Eastern Europe...). It's fantastic and very melodic song which could become real smash-hit if only somebody help this song with good promotion.

Wіadysіaw Komendarek didn't afraid to use synthesizer in a big scale. Almost all tracks even that more acoustical ones like "Stary Noe" ("The Old Noah") or "Widok z gуry najwyїszej" ("The View From The Highest Mountain") are filled with his JM Jarre (of "Oxygene"/"Equinoxe" era) soundlike keyboards.

After the listening of all "The Most Beautiful Day" tracks you will ask yourself a question: a little bit of other bands influences (like Genesis' in title suite) but how they made this music so original ?

Enjoy your listening.

Exodus — Supernova
Review by NotAProghead (progarchives.com)

4 stars One of the best Polish prog albums. When I bought this LP in the beginning of 80's, I was amazed how skilful are these musicians from Poland. Virtuostic keyboards and guitar, good vocals, well written compositions. YES influences are heard, but EXODUS has its own sound. Lead singer, Pawel Birula has strong high toned voice, but he doesn't sing like Jon Anderson.

First track, "Powstanie supernowej", with intriguing keyboards' sounds instantly captures your attention. "Piosenka bez sensu" and "Niedawno tak, pewnego dnia" are very nice ballads. All other compositions have good balance between fast and slow parts, so the album never becomes boring.

Highly recommended.
