I like their debut and this is as good probably even better. Need to listen to them back to back . Great to hear an instrumental track need more of them and it's a good one. Would put this in my top 4 prog releases for 2007 with SX ,Redemption and Threshold.

No doubt. This CD is a fantastic piece of polished proginess (if there is such a word :lol:

) The singer is really great and his performance just sounds effortless. I was really blown away when I first heard it because there are just so many bands out there attempting this genre and most fall short most of the time. These guys and this CD were a pleasant surprise. Awesome stuff!! :dio:

I got it back when it was released and was buying that many cds then didn't give it the attention it deserved. But have listened to it quite a lot in the last week suprised this got 90 and last week Suncaged got 94.

I love this one. THis band is turning out to be one of the best in the genre. ANd Ben, I feel the same way about "Alive." Man that song is awesome. One of my favorite for the year.

I like the debut better, but this one is just a short notch below it. And the debut is amazing.

The first chapter barely landed in my top 10 for 2005. This new one, it's definitely fighting for a lucrative top 5 spot and will probably get it by year's end. Excellent album, right on par with the new Threshold.

CM are setting themselves up to be one of the leaders in modern prog/power metal. Such excellent songwriting, in addition to musicianship.

Brilliant album, I love "Abyss" and "Mouth of Madness." Love these guys, hope they can latch onto a US tour sometime soon!
