So excited, the song The Ghost Xperiment is wonderful!

It´s a magnificent CD from start to finish. Vanden Plas at it´s best!

Complex, layered and accessible at the same time.
That's why they're one of my fav bands, always shipping the good stuff.

magnific album... can even be one of the best of the progressive year

Cold Dece,mber Night song title is awesome, reason why I listened this album and also not. I know olders ones, I am not big proger, but here are something what I listen it and one part is my professional music interests, my type of metal and bands, new albums always are good to listen. One day I will go beck to this band and re listen older ones, but this I put for rest a while, maybe till ms awards, because I dont remember any other prog album in this year what I like.

Another great album by them. I will listen a couple of times more before I give my verdict but after 2 full listens I love it!

Unexpected great album!

Great Album! Really feels like they went back to more the "Seraphic Clockwork" style. Lots going on in each of the songs and while a few are pretty long, none of the songs feel long. My only gripes are that the story really makes close to no sense and the album is extremely short for a Vanden Plas album. Really coulda used one more track. Ah well, good stuff anyway.

Highlights: Three Ghosts, Devil's Poetry, Ghost Xperiment

Felt like going back to this one again after not hearing it for quite some time and it's still a brilliant record. From the top of my mind it's my second favourite record from 2019 (right after Atlantean Kodex - The Course of Empire). These guys are top class stuff!

I agree that the story doesn't make sense for me either, probably would have to read the lyrics a bit more carefully but I don't really care about that. The shortness of the album however I find to be a positive thing, the albums now a days are almost always 10 or even 20 minutes too long. 47 minutes is the perfect running time!
