I was never and I know that I never will be a fan of Within Temptation, but this is one album of the Dutch band that I really like and consider one of the rare jewels of symphonic gothic metal. Back in those days their music sounded less glossy and more sincere and touching.

I'm still afraid of admitting to my friends that I like this.

Why would you be afraid of admitting that you like a great album?

I disagree with two of your counts.
This is not a "great" album and it is also not a "2" (your vote as of now).
But I agree that there is not much gothic to find here (any more), this is symphonic metal.

Every time I see that album cover my brains tell me it's young Dave Mustaine on the cover and I expect the content to be superb, but sadly neither is true.

With this band you just have to ignore all of the album covers they have released.
Most of the music, too, unfortunately...

Amazing vocal performance and vibe, unfortunately the songs have a lot of boring parts.
