4 stars 43 songs on one short album? Sounds gimmicky. But the tracks flow together to create something very close to a masterpiece.

Other than the huge number of very short tracks, there's nothing real unique about this music. That, and the short length, are the only things keeping this from being a perfect album. It's solidly in the progressive metal camp, with some hints of power metal and plenty of classical influences. Stays fairly heavy throughout, without getting too heavy. Wonderful clean metal vocals, handling a wide range. With 43 tracks, things change quickly, and there is not a single second of boredom here. The music is not apologetic about being metal or about being progressive, but unlike a lot of other progressive metal it is by no means a Dream Theater clone. These are very talented musicians but there's never a focus on showing off--the music is very tightly written.

I've only listened to this six or seven times. Maybe eventually this will join my short list of five star albums. For now, though, an excellent 4.5. Highly recommended for fans of progressive metal.
