More progressive style feeling on instrumental arrangement, Michele Luppi's vocal is so fucking perfect as usual~

Not very impressed, even though it has Luppi singing.

Italian prog/power has started to grow on me a lot recently. I used to listen to some bands in the past like Secret Sphere, Labyrinth, Vision Divine, Elvenking (I didn't really enjoy Rhapsody and Highlard apart from a few songs), but recently I listened to other great bands that I only knew by name like DGM, Domine, Noveria etc. and damn, Italy is definitely one of my fav countries that produce quality metal, especially prog/prow clean vocal based.

As for this album, it is my favorite Secret Sphere record. I think it's superior to the band's other strong albums with R. Messina on vocals, mainly due to the great production, better guitar sound and better songwriting overall. Favorite tracks: "X", "Secrets Fear" and title track instrumental album opener.

It's actually funny that I spotted a mistake towards the final section of the guitar solo on the song "Eternity" (from 4:10 to 4:15). The last lick doesn't really fit the scale of the chord, at least to me. I didn't try to play it but it just doesn't sound right. Anyway, that's the only remark I have, apart from that, the album is amazing.
