After a week of listening to it, I have to say, unfortunately, that this is not as good as the last two ( three if you want ). Good, solid album, there aren't any bad or boring songs on it, but there's just something missing. I have listened to it just 6 or 7 times so far, so I might be wrong.
What are your opinions ?
P.S: I hope this isn't their last one. It would be such a shame. |

It's supposed to be their last one. I say it's better than King of the Grey Islands but nowhere near as good as Death Magic Doom, which I might say is one of their best albums. Hands down that album could compete with Nightfall or Epicus.

| I just gave this album its first spin tonight. It's quite excellent. I remember DMD having some dull moments but this seems to be devoid of any dull moments altogether. |

| I gave it a few listens and decided to pick it up. It's no Death Magic Doom but it's definitely a solid album. I love that hammond organ on Siren Song, now I wish they would've used it more often on other songs. Anyway, I'm glad they didn't end it with a turd. Not a masterpiece but a respectable end to a a great career. |

You remember incorrectly, sir.
