"The Fall of a Rebel Angel is a concept album about the evolution, redemption, and transformation of an unspecified protagonist. It's a conscious attempt to recapture the spirit and aesthetic of MCMXC A.D. in what Cretu says is "a new musical language." ... The Fall of a Rebel Angel may signify a new direction for Cretu, but given that the roots of all of these productions lie in a record 25 years old, there's only so much he can do. That said, given his tremendous commercial success and catalog, it's not like Enigma's legions of fans - who've been patiently waiting for eight long years - will care. It delivers what's expected: nocturnal, atmospheric, seductive - and yes, nostalgic - pleasure".

"The Fall of a Rebel Angel feels more like background music, despite its lofty aspiration of presenting a coherent theatrical narrative of personal development and growth. As enjoyable as the record is, it feels insubstantial and lacking in dynamic drive, offering little to anchor the listener's attention. Enigma has always been somewhat of a niche product, and The Fall of a Rebel Angel certainly does nothing to alter that fact".
Vurdering 3/5.
