It's very dynamic and powerful, and professional.
Very listenable.

Real nice guitar work with great prog riffs...this is a fun listening experience. Seeking out more from this great artist.

If I had to choose 1 CD within the last year, this would probably be it. I never thought about metal without the vocals, or never thought it could sound this good. This is outstanding work. It's like progressive rock, only ten times better because it is heavy. Thanks to Jamendo I found this amazing artist and CD, something that happens in a music store only after spending a lot of money, time, and frustration.

This is wonderful stuff. An outstanding job on the programming of the various the drums and assorted synths and orchestral instruments. And the compositions are very complex, but still executed with great feel. From dark modes to romantic notions to full blown metalic psychedelia, there's a surprise around every corner, and sometimes that surprise is a recent aqcuaintance.

The sound is just a tad on the sterile side, but that's just because of the drumsound. There's nothing that can beat (pun intended) the sound of a real acoustic drum kit, but it's a pain to get a kit, a drummer, record drums and then there's the mixing... Actually the drums sound brilliant for what they are.

(If I'm wrong about the drums being programmed and not played by a drummer, I'll gladly go and digg a very deep hole and jump in it.)

The guitars soar, dive, paint, weave, slip, stich and pass.

It's no mean feat to pull off something like "The Dreamer's Paradox". So I say "kudos" with the original meaning of the greek word: magical glory.

This album is so badass. The entire album creates this sort of mystical, musical landscape that I walk around on. The whole thing flows together like silky butter.
