II = I

this album commands nothing less than five stars. Not one bad song in the bunch. it is beautiful from start to finish. every song has a beautiful into. there is a nice balance of metal and mellow stuff. the keyboards are fantastic. the guitars are perfect, even reminds me of John Petrucci, who I consider to be the best in the business. great singer, much better than the first singer. his voice almost reminds me of Daniel Gildenlow from Pain of Salvation, who is hands down the greatest singer since Freddie Mercury. this album is essential and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Perfect! I can't stop playing it. Enough said. Buy it!
