"This was an unexpected joy. Even though there's nothing that really makes it different or musically perfect, it just hits all the marks. I love this album and rate it as their best. It's loaded with great tracks right through. Massively under rated in my opinion"  Reply

"This album is a let down, definitely one of his worst albums. I do not recommend this to anyone for any occasion unless you have a serious fetish for underachieving albums. Best song: Empire State of Mind. I wouldn't bother with the rest of the album it's not worth the time."  Reply

"Clearly underranked concept album by this Israel band which blends progressive metal and arabic folk sounds in a unique way. Can't wait to hear more from this band."  Reply
