well as a whole this album dissapointed me a bit... it sounds kind of unfinished... don't get me wrong, it is great but not as great as their previous two..

80/100

When is this one going to get reviewed? I think it's great.

As with almost all power metal (or in this case prog/power), it will eventually arrive to Metal CD Ratings.
Tentatively, this is set to arrive as part of our Jan. 25th update, and it's going to be fully reviewed.
Oh, but we have an update coming up Jan. 11th as well.
:wink:

Hopefully it will get reviewed over here too, so you guys can get 2 opinions.
:D

Man, really diggin' this album. I like the changes the band made. Instead of just doing the same old prog-power thing, they've experimented a bit. Great stuff.

Yeah they come up with some catchy tracks that really suit their style. The opener on the bonus cd rocks also.

Just read the review at your site can't say I agree. And the fact Tarja's cd got a higher score it's good but no way is it better than God's Equation not even close.

Thanks for reading the reviews.

I have not listened to the new Pagan's Mind yet, so I can't back Craig B up (who reviewed it). I haven't seen a lot of people raving about it though, so his review/rating is certainly conceivable.

I like the new Tarja a lot, but I do understand why some of you won't find it to be anything special.

Great, thanks. I'll have to get it spinning asap...
:cool:

Oh, if you haven't already, make sure and check out the Pathosray debut, as they share similarities with Pagan's Mind.
Here's my review, but there are many out there already...

Well I think I expressed the reasons that I wasn't much impressed with the album reasonably enough. Fair enough if you like it more than I do, but you don't need to justify your opinion with these links. This is a discussion forum after all - discuss it! :) Comparing it with the review that Tarja's album got isn't very relevant as they were written by different people.

Exactly. Well said. :wink:

NP: Keldian - Heaven's gate (still love this!!!)

.... and getting set to throw a bunch of CDs into regular rotation: Pagan's Mind, Myrath, The Codex, Gates of Winter, and a bunch of others.
:D

After a few spins, I'm in agreement with Craig B's (aka Radagast) 3/5 rating.
:cool:

I wasn't trying to justify anything.The only reason I posted the links is Clint said he hadn't seen many people raving about it and sure their are others that don't like it anywhere as much. I read reviews but rarely buy based on them everyone has their own opinion.

I think i was disappointed by this because Enigmatic: Calling fucking blew me away. I like this better now after quite a few spins. 80/100
