Straightforward, fun, genre album. Very, very fine power metal. How Theocracy succeeds at setting themselves apart from others deserving of those tags is the way they balance aggression and melody, crunchy guitars and smooth delivery, punishing drums and soaring melodies, etc, etc. There's no denying a slight thrash influence in this heavy power metal album, though it never strays a centimeter away from "melodic." This confident balance, without trying to be one or the other, is what gives Ghost Ship its own strong voice.

Every time I listen to the CD, it gets better. I'm starting to think I should buy 2 copies... you know...just in case.

First album i've checked out by these guys, I love the sound. Reminds me of Vision Divine in their Stream Of Consciousness album and a little Avantasia, but overall not much keys, and a more guitar dominated sound.

I have started to like it more and more. The title song and "Wishing Well" are my favorite songs. I think it is their least good, but this band is making brilliant music with each of their album. I saw them live when they re-released their self-titled. They are great and I hope I could see them live with this album.
