This is one of the few bands to do progressive symphonic metal right. Most of the genre is so stale, you know what you're going to get before you even listen. This album is a step up in terms of song writing and arrangements. Well worth the listen.

Ok, I was ready to be the first not liking this album, I was very prepared. But I must admit that here the quality is very very high, even though this is not exactly my kind of music, since generally I'm not into "atmospheric stuff".

I don't get why I don't get this album, I mean, it's really well done, but maybe it's not for me.

This is proper progressive/symphonic metal. This is what all progressive metal bands should aspire to IMO.

Amazing album... Edit: haha, what a coincidence, they just announced a new album.

Skyline, with those drops of piano notes, is truly beautiful! The other standout is the opening track. Both of these are instrumental. The other tracks could have attracted me more, as I'm not into the vocals (although, they are still good).

Went back to this today, and it's certainly better than amazing.
