Review Score: (10/10)
Brilliant.Stupendous.Call it what you will,but whatever you say,make it positive,cos this band deserve it.

I'd say 8/10 tracks on this album are 5 star songs,the others 4.Skip nothing on this album.

Tony Kakko's vocals are varied and harmonic,and his keyboard playing is excellent too.But the whole band make vital contributions.

It remains a mystrey to me that bands like this dont get recognition over here.
