This is one of the greatest albums I ever listened to. Every part of it is incredible, and I truly can't thank Slice The Cake enough for making it. I won't go into too much details, but I'll write my reasons in bullet points:
-The vocals - The vocals on this album are absolutely stellar. Gaia are such an amazing vocalist, and they use so many different techniques so well, they get me singing/screaming/growling along every time.
-The production - I don't know if I ever listened to an album with such good production. I'm not much of an audiophile, but I know amazing sound quality when I hear it, and it's so fcking good. Every instrument sounds perfect, and they all work together so well to create this symphony of sound, together with the sound FX and the atmosphere, it's just incredible.
-The instrumentation - The instrumentation, overall, is fan-fcking-tastic. The guitars, whether acoustic or electric, all sound great, with no joke, some of the greatest riffs I ever heard (Electric and acoustic, even). The drums, while I think they are programmed, they were programmed incredibly well. They're amazing and always play exactly what fits the song perfectly. Sometimes the drums sound a little too perfect, but I honestly like that, and I find it really fits the atmosphere. The bass on this album is also fantastic. Always fits the atmosphere, and some of the riffs were genuinely incredible. The keyboards and synths were also very good, and always came just in time. They were what ... See More

올해 4월에 리마스터링되어서 재간됨. 앨범 전체의 서사성도 충분하고, 멜로디에 사운드까지 인상적이었음. 2016년 앨범이 마지막이라길래 너무 아쉬웠는데, 혹시라도 다시 활동을 재개하는건 아닌가 내심 기대하게 되어부렀음.

대단히 인상적인 컨셉 데스코어. 프로그레시브메탈로서도 훌륭하다. 아쉽게도 이 앨범을 마지막으로 밴드는 역사속으로 사라졌다.
