We'll see. I for one, loved God's Equation, and I bet I'll learn to love this one as well.

Thats quite possible. God's Equation didnt age well for me.

God's Equation wasnt a bad album, it was actually pretty decent. The problem is that expectations at the time were just so damn high, because it doesnt hold a candle to Enigmatic Calling, much less Celestial Entrance. Heavenly Ecstasy does a better job of bridging that gap, but it is still restrained compared to those works.

+1 GE is a great album, I'm looking forward to this one hopefully it's as good.

For some reason I never got into Pagan's Mind and I'm a fan of prog/power combo bands.

I don't know I just don't see what is so special about these guys.

The guitarist for once is fucking mind-blowing. Listen to Enigmatic Calling for instance. I prefer his playing to Petrucci's post Images & Words playing any day.

Never got around to listening to God's Equation. I do love the previous two, so I might check out their more recent stuff. Seems like both albums got/are getting very mixed reactions though.

Its definitely worth buying, just not face melting awesome like those two albums.

Up top! Lofstad isn't nearly as flashy as most guitarists in this subgenre, and the penalty for that is that he gets overlooked. I think he's a really terrific intuitive musician, and I'd love to see him get half the recognition Petrucci gets.

I can see why people don't like this album, but this album has so many fantastic moments! The opening 6-7 tracks are just fantastic!

Agreed, there are some great moments to be found.

I actually picked up the Limited Edition over the weekend and have been giving it another spin. I still feel the score matches my feelings on the album, but it is interesting to read the very well done liner notes, which gives the album a more personal touch.
