Alternative rock music at its best...

Review Score: (10/10)
After having experienced the band in a live performance, I was convinced that I had to have this CD, too. Their previous ones were great, so I started listening to this with sceptisism (too many good albums in a row is not compliant with statistics...). But on the contrary... The ideal combination of the great, very female and colourful voice of lead singer Anneke combined with the "dark" and from time to time "heavy" guitars of the band result in another extremely interesting piece of work. There were more "softer" songs than I initially hoped for, but that didn't, surprisingly enough, turn out to be a drawback of the album. A "need-to-have" for all people who like alternative sounds and metal-like music combined with a melodic voice.
