5 stars Now we're cooking with gas.

This is probably the best album by one of the most talented prog-metal bands. It's epic, emotional, and moving, without ever straying to the likes of melodrama and boredom. The melodies and composition are STUNNING. The story is well told, with well-written lyrics and fantastic performances from all sides of the band.

Seriously, this is just epic as all hell, I just can't get over it. Check out March of Mephisto if you don't believe me.

Now about recommendations. Well, if you are interested in the story of this album (and you should be), you'll have to turn to the previous album, Epica. You see, this is a two-part concept album, meaning Epica is the first part and this is the last. If you already have Epica, what are you waiting for? Or, if you don't have it, you could always just ignore the story and get this one anyway. Either way, it's essential.
