3 stars This is an extremely well produced album. The instruments are all crisp and clear, and the sounds all seem to be well thought out and work perfectly together. But compositionally the pieces leave me a little bit cold. I admit that I enjoy lead singer Adeline Gurtner's voice, and some of the prog adornments that bejewel the songs. Unfortunately, in most cases the prog moments fell just like that, as if they were tagged on to the songs as an afterthought.

That isn't to say that the album is not without value. The blend of metal and various styles can be compelling at times, and the solos, especially the guitar solos can make this album worth the price of admission. I find the album just okay, but those with more of an ear for metal might enjoy it more.
