Well, advertising on the cover promises so much good stuff; from the album of the Year 2009 "is the speech or of Pop, Classic & metal in Perfect Harmony". So the album of the year, this work is definitely not, not nearly ... apart from the fact that such a statement in February already comes pretty badly exaggerated. The inclined listener is here jagged riffs, orchestra, choir, fine melodies, so everything the gothic heart desires, find. But, the big BUT: too much the pieces eventually cumulate in a banal, pop flatness and nothingness that makes almost affected. Was here really so much produced on commercialism? And the singer, so what can I say ... as long as they do not toooo high singing, it's all; passages as you will, however, reminds us of the song I'm a barby girl "(if someone still important to be in the ear have should- AUA). The Path To Decay and Sirens of the Seven Seas are still the best tracks on the album. And 42min Duration is not the Hammer of the Year. With a lot of goodwill 3 points from me ^^
