With this album, they show a lot of potential to create some brilliant music. Also, the concept for the album is pretty spiffy.

Yeah, although they touch upon quite a few styles, I suspect that they haven't really found a comfortable style of their own yet. Which is how a lot of prog or more experimental bands start out. They experiment until they find their own niche. I predict that if they evolve properly, their next album will be something really special. :O

The last song is originally a Hebrew song! "Hevenu Shalom Aleichem" (הבאנו שלום עליכם), very nice cover!

Each time I listen I have a completely new experience. What an incredible band. Initially it was the beauty of the song "Farewell" that hooked me, now I love them all. What a fucking ride. Talent!

Original and non wankery prog metal. Not as fun as their debut, but still a brilliant one.
