Voted a straight 100 here, cause this record is one of the few albums per year which really bring something new and interesting.
Apart from that the music totally kicks ass.

I can't wait to get this, I absolutely loved Section X and still play it regularly.

Hopefully the new vocalist will get along with my ears.

I really want to check this band out. I know nothing of them, never heard of them until this review. I'm now on the hunt. They sound awesome!

I'm listening to this right now and it really doesn't feel like one long song to me, more like 43 really short ones. They don't exactly flow into each other very well. They sound like a talented band though, so maybe I'll try one of their other albums.

EDIT: just fixed my winamps fading settings and it sounds a bit better, still doesn't really feel like one big song though.

This album has to be my favorite of 2006 so far. I absolutely can't get enough of it.

I've only found some wierd version where all songs are divided into two long ones. Sounds great though, although it would be cool to be able to shuffle among all short tracks.

This is an excellent album, but I don't like the short songs. Sometimes when I know an album well I like to hit shuffle, changes it up a bit, makes it more enjoyable when I don't know what's coming, you know? But this one, like Diabolical Masquerade's Death's Design album, shuffling just doesn't work. The parts are cool, but is it necessary that they be broken up? A lot of them flow so seamlessly that it really seems unecessary to break them up like that.

Very cool album. I don't mind the short songs, I never shuffle. Besides, I now don't need to take out my mp3 player from my pocket every 3 minutes to see what song is next.

In several aspects I think it's better than Section X. The new vocalist is very good, though I mantain Kelly Carpenter was in a different league.

The first three songs are so fucking cool sounding. And energetic too.

Has anyone figured out the cryptic "plot" of this album?

Wow, now this is technical as hell. Vocalist sounds like Michael Eriksen from Circus Maximus. This is awesome stuff!

Kelly Carpenter should have sang on this album too. His perfomance on Section X was godlike, greatly surpassing both Jorn and the guy that sings here. This reminds me that I still haven't listened to that Outworld album.

It's awesome. That band is damn amazing. They were going to play a show with Cellador here in Omaha, but I'm not sure what happened to that.

This CD is absolutely incredible. I've listened to this CD so many times it's ridiculous. It's just fantastic stuff. I agree that breaking the songs up into these multiple short tracks makes this CD a pain for the computer or if it's on your IPOD. I guess it's not so bad as long as you don't hit 'shuffle". :P Anyway, this one kick ass CD!! :dio:

I have to give this another bump. This album is brilliant, from start to finish.
