"I'm very surprised by this album... this old band still has energy and good material to cheer us up... technically impeccable, serious and competent progressive metal, an album for progressive metal fans to evaluate"  Reply

"As my musical taste matured growing up, I never grew out of this album. The best of a low-esteemed genre of music. Its a great break-up album, that speaks to teenage emotions even as an adult."  Reply
