Definitely a great album, much like "Tales From The North" was. What it seems like the concepts that the band uses have a lot of impact on the music. "Tales..." was heavier, more epic and now "Public Glory..." takes a faster and more power metalish approach. The bands does both of these styles well and the songs are way better here than on the first two albums. I prefer the vocals of this album to the "Tales..." 's vocals; these are stronger and have more feeling to them. Hard to say which album to prefer, "Tales..." or "Public Glory...", it could be a tie as well. One thing that's certain is that after these two albums the band would never be on this same level again

Another concept album seems to me about Roma, its logical, I always like home albums when it goes about concept
Musically oK, but lyrically it needs some catchy tune, as chorus, something like ''Rise Avalon from the veil of the mystery'' something

Far too repetitive, but the singer is great
