This album is the epitome of the magic that ultra-melodic metal is capable of offering. Every song makes me imagine a flight of euphoric glory drenched in crystalline moonlight reflected in a pool ringed in purple fire.

Oh wow.....your desciption makes me wanna just run and get this one RIGHT NOW !!!

A good album for shure! The instruments in the music is what made it great for me, I would say it is pretty much Neo-Classical Metal. The Old House On The Hill's 3 songs that are just intrumental were good, because the only downside I can see with this album is the Vocals - it sounds sort of punk like if you listen the whole album, but it wasnt 'that' bad, just a little.

Very cool album. technical yet beautifally melodic guitars, catchy yet powerful vocals, and EPIC symphonic arrangements.

Pretty much all i could ask for from an album, but the one flaw I find is that its just a bit too poppy. Nonetheless awsome work!

The Old house on the Hill sequence is a pure symphonic metal masterpiece!
