But at least, when I read the lyrics completely and accordingly the well-structured and interesting history could follow, which is told here, this negative impression into perspective. Because both musically and vocally the emotionality, the brutality, the melancholy, really any feeling that is this story is based is impressively expressed by small, subtle nuances.
After repeated listening you can feel the subtleties of composition; the first uniform-looking music fades into the background and it "learns" to pay attention to the very small Tonspiele.
The much-criticized singer Change: Too bad that Barlow has stopped, yes. But the replacement can be proud of or to hear! Crazy how this man can sing!
Songs like "Retribution through Time", "The Clouding" or "Something Wicked, Part 1" and the eponymous song "Framing Armageddon" are for me always one of my favorites.
CONCLUSION: Since I have the disc, I hear anything else. Honestly, every day since the release of the album I listen to this disc by at least once.
