So much can be said about Van Canto's second album; it was an album that was their big break in the metal world. Of course, in order to do that, some changes from the first album (which was a nice effort but not nearly as good as Hero) were required. The biggest improvement is the production - their voices are mixed very nicely and sound much more like actual instruments, unlike on the first album, which has pretty much a demo recording quality, so half the stuff got blurry. That allows the clever arrangements to really shine. But that is not the only change.

Curious... it seams this is the highest voted van canto's album but it's my less favorite of their first three albums.

Frankly speaking, I don't like their vocal covers

Too many covers sounding like the original songs IMO, the only difference with "Fear of the Dark".
