Don`t get me wrong Chris, but couple of your last reviews sound like you`re hyped up on sugar. :D
I`m slowly getting into Euphoreon album, but now I have to check out this and new Dragonfly.

It's a friggin' great album. The only sad thing is that the song Throne of Bones is too short. I would love to have it full length.

That is by far the best cover ever known to man.

And yes, these guys are masters of power metal, IMO. If you can't get into them, then power metal is lost for you.

It took a while for this to sink in. Huge fan of Astronomy, and I don't think this is even close to be honest. A solid 80 nonetheless.

I have to agree that it's no Astronomy, but still a very good album.

We're usually in the same boat then. This is one crystal clear exception however. I'd suggest you to give it a couple of extra spins. Worked for me. I was pretty bummed out about how cheesy this was at first. Turns out it's pretty well-written although it never touches Astronomy.

This album is a monster and much more "whole" than Astronomy imho. Just can't stop listening to it. Astronomy has nothing on it.
