If you liked this one, try to get your hands on Surreal, their previous album. It doesn't have the presence of Epica or Orphanage's vocalists (Oosthoek's vocals can be overwhelming, even in Orphanage), but musicially it's as good, if not better than Equilibrio!

Surreal is a bit more power metallish and always reminds me of a frontal collision between Shadow Gallery and Royal Hunt, somehow.

I've heard Receiving Tomorrow and thought it was decent. It took a while for me to get into, but once I did I really enjoyed it. This one sounds very interesting. Listening to "The Traveller" now and it sounds very promising. It's a good thing I read the review first, otherwise I probably would've felt the same way as you Alex.

I'm telling you 'Ness, if it wasn't for my 8 yr old saying that she likes this "musical" I am not sure how I would have received it. But once she said that word I saw it in a totally new light.

Well I gotta admit Alex your daughter really has great taste for her age! I totally understand the "musical" concept of this.

:) We keep telling her to concentrate on math, but she is a lot more into theater, dancing and arts. Sometimes I think she is not mine.
