The dilemma of high expectations

I have after much back and forth me buy now the OM II and am overall pretty ambivalent. For pretty much any other band this album would be a super power, but this work can the high expectations, which is coupled to Eyes of a Stranger or The Mission, unfortunately not meet.
Although Geoff Tate brings in an impressive way his singing talents to the best, impressive vocal lines, but the atmospheric density of earlier days (Rage for Order) is gone.
What remains is a bit melancholy, but also the certainty that you have at home on the shelf with OM I one of the albums of all time.
