4 stars Enchant is my favorite band between these modern ... and heavy, for one simple fact: they are not as repetitive as the neo-prog nor so full of excesses as the bands progmetal (and repetitive as well). The voice of Ted Leonard gives a visual of the band, as the ally graden bassist Ed Platt metal weight of your instrument in the accompanying marking giving "face" the first track. In the title track the level falls following just a straight hard rock accompanied by a shy synthesizer that only shows the end of its execution. "Hold the wind" comes with the sync on scales between the instruments in a bar almost neo-prog and rises with the powerful voice of Ted, I can make is on keyboards explores the sounds of your synthesizer to help characterize the band. "Beaultiful" as its name reveals, the melody of the piano with the interpretation of Ted makes this stick in the head like gum. "Queen of the info" synchronizes the heavy guitar riffs harmonizing with the vocals as he headed for broken neo-prog and guitar solos and keyboard. "Living in the movie" is at times "ballad" and weight being supported by vocals from other members, yet is not good enough to be as beautiful as the aforementioned song. "Long Way Down" is one of my favorites because of the broken battery in both the verse and the chorus gives way to a neo-prog feel, it is worth noting the style of guitarist soils simple but where you can differentiate it from the crowd . This track is full of feeling. "See no evil" belongs to Ted's solo album where his influence is evident pop blended with progressive elements, the entries sax give a taste of more to music. "Progtology" is a heavy instrumental where your keyboard shows their weapons; beats straight while the other instruments make their scales and an almost "mellotron" (?) in the passages ... the guitar solo and keyboard improvisation of the last low is the icing on the cake. "Comatose" is the lines of the other ballads on the disc. This is one of my favorite albums of the band: 4.3 stars.
