3 stars Second studio release by US band Cryptic Vision.

I knew of their first release, with it's nice and promising blend of elements from Kansas and Dream Theatre, and were looking forward to this release.

But strangely enough, this release leaves me a bit cold. If it is the hooks, the well-used vocal harmonies in the chorus section, the uplifting mood making me think of gosepl (!) or just the general AOR feel to this one that left me a bit cold I can't say. But in my ears this one isn't as good as their debut.

It's not a bad album, don't get me wrong there, but it is plain and average fodder for the soul, and not the sonic gourmet meal I had hoped for. In my opinion at least.

Standout track: I Am The Energy.

Windhawk | 3/5 |
