It's ok but nothing to write home about.

to long IMO

Way too long for its own good, and the sluggish delivery doesn't really help, but there are some standout moments to take away from this 19-track release. "Ten Thousand Strong" feels a lot more precise in its musicianship and the aggressive pick-up of "The Domino Decree" and "Framing Armageddon" is well-needed. More songs like "The Clouding" and less songs like "Setain Massacre" and Framing Armageddon Part 1 would have fared a lot better in my opinion.

Too long, songwriting sounds taken for granted for most of it, Tim sounds like a mercenary on vocals on this; I think he did better on previous one. Many of these songs aren't good enough for re-listens. Ten Thousand Strong as the only strong song makes the others sound half-baked. The rating must go low .

A good album but with Owens The Glorious Burden kick the ass of this one!!

This record is overdone, there's too many songs, there's too many riffs that goes nowhere and the way the story is told is too over-the-top.. it's not a bad record though. There's enough cool stuff here to keep me intrested and Tim Owens sings great. The first half is strongest (tracks 1-8) and then it also ends strong (tracks 17-18).
