Really good stuff here... plus the band name reminds me of an ice-cream flavor

Pretty decent, but the two albums either side of this are much better. This one sounds a bit conventionally produced and doesn't make the most of his voice, and it's a bit meandering in places.

I'm guessing these guys would be as far into Power metal as you are willing to tread?

2nd masterpiece a row. It would be really hard to talk shit about this album when you've got songs like "Astronomica", "The Ninth Wave", "The Fires Of Mars", "Road Of Kings" and "Witches' Brew". TBH I could name all the songs here since there isn't any disappointing ones. And this drummer ("Thrasher") kick ass.

This is not so good as previous one, mainly production, mix and sound quality, but band continues epic journey.

I definitely prefer it to the previous, I think the consistency is much better here, especially the opening 5 songs.
