Wow. This has got to be considered one of the greatest prog metal albums ever. I just discovered it a few days ago, and I'm already in love. |

I quite like it, though it rarely finds its way to my cd player. Both clean and death vocals are rather amateurish, but the music is top notch. |

Marvellous stuff! Only that the band's equipment got blown away by a hurricane (or so I've heard), hence only the one album ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick. Bash your attackers." - Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun |

I'm gonna go against the grain and say that I didn't really find the album THAT spectacular. My friend let me borrow it, and it was worth a listen or two, but I wouldn't buy it. Just didn't appeal to me. ------------- "At the mere sight of the shade, so did I quail Hearing him; yet his hintings of disaster Shamed me to valour, as a hind may be Bold in the presence of an honoured master." |

| Excellent album. Even with those vocals it is an amazing piece of progressive metal. |

On the remastered edition I wish they had remixed the whole album and not just three tracks  ------------- Tired of typing the same search parameters on Gemm, MusicStack, eBay etc. -> http://www.musicsearcher.com/search/index.php?firstgo=2&goartist=&gotitle=&golabel= - Link |

I think cynic is a very good band. The only thing I don't like is those damn throaty vocals. I hate death metal singing. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY |
