As somebody who takes the utmost care not to stray into the symphonic genre on most occasions, I looked upon Serenity as a rose in a minefield when I discovered War Of Ages in the 2013 MS Awards. It's a pleasure to have the band reappear on my radar with Codex Atlanticus, a delightful reassurance that no genre entirely lacks appeal, even to those utterly bored with the concept.

The Perfect Woman = roxette (listen to your heart) ... weak album, just "Iniquity, Reason, Fate Of Light" power song :/ .... But nice lyrics on this album ... nothing else...I prefer this lyrics in a power metal band ...not like Death & Legacy , for that reason, i put 7

Consistent but nothing astounding.

I've given this a second chance and it's a grower. Not immediately catchy, but it's solid and I keep going back to it. So that says something.

It's not terrible, but really... they've lost it since 2008's Fallen Sanctuary

Not a bad album but gets boring after a few listens. Similar to their previous albums but without the energy... I would give it a 7 and I'm being nice...
