3 stars The Wizard: starting with acoustic guitars, nice and bright to my ears, the voice begins to sing a melody of the past, talking a story or something so, really melodic, easy listening and digestible, then begin the good noise, with calm and beautiful voice. voices again claim their value and make scene, we can also appreciate operatic stage and screaming, I can say that King Diamond was inspired by such kind of voices.

Traveler in time: what an amazing intro, OMG, nice guitars!, Yeah!, one of his best known songs around the entire world, really wonderful, I think this song is a great inspiration in hard rock and progressive in itself.

Easy Livin: another catchy, interesting, motivated, remember the time where these pieces were created metalheads.

Poet's Justice: starting with aggressive, heavy rhythms, movers and energetics, and a distortion similar to Blue Oyster Cult, the style of the background vocals and a melody, we have something fast on the guitar, a great voice range. you could say it's a little rock and roll, heavy stuff, with occasionally psychedelic passages the battery is the same throughout the song, making it a little predictable, at least the change in 2 : 49 is great, and from there we have brilliant moments, very progressive.

Circle of hands: starting with a keyboard a la Jon Lord, really similar style, a plane is approaching?, Then begins the typical electric rhythming guitar by Mick Box, after an apparent atmosphere of tranquility with the great voice of David Byron, well as continuing the melody a bit, back to the typical operatic background that characterizes much of this band,catchy choirs a little hard to diggest, good and sad one style, apparently, also could be thought of as one happy. the organ is the basis of this song, and finally we have a good solos by mick box. it can remind a little from ITCOTCK song.

rainbow demon:glorius type intro, as if something is coming, great keyboards mysterious, mysterious voice begins as usual, and a chorus for my taste lacks in power, although it remains a great composicion

all my life: WTF?

Paradise: nice intro, with good melody, a lot of sadness, And a good song.

The spell: the piano is the key of this song, a cheerful melody, where we find a truly psychedelic scene, masterly, that makes us travel in fantasy when we hear it, easily the best song of the album, which combines all the elements of this magnificent band, pianos are the ultimate music and interesting finishes.

in conclusion, one of his best albums with TMB, this band has inspired future generations and we notice with bands like Black bonzo, which are very similar, good album. 3.5 stars
