I find the crying in the beginning a bit annoying. The vocals sound really nice, really gets me. The music doesn't catch my attention very much, but the solo is incredibly nice! I don't like how the song ends though (called outro right?).

this is the video for another track from this album:

again, this album impressed me - good stuff indeed!

I do say, old bean, this song was quite marvelous, but I did not quite appreciate the sounds of a baby crying at the beginning.

Review on MA calls it "what Op Mindcrime II should have been", apparently it's a kind of complex concept album...

I listened to it twice and speaking with context as a single song I'll agree with the comments about the intro, but I also quite liked the solo. The rest of the music I found a little disjointed and unmemorable, though not otherwise bad except perhaps a little radio-friendly in some parts. This criticism may just be due to my comparative inexperience with prog music. 7/10

I dont particularly like the lyrics, I admit that the "ashes to ashes cliche" put me off a bit too.

that solo is indeed good.

But other than that nothing sounded extraordinary or particularly inspired, not even the voice.

It sounds a litle mainstream and crazy. Rare combination, it didn't caught much my attention though.

I personally enjoyed it. Maybe not anything new to the genre, but definitely better than a handful of other bands.

The vocals were crisp, the music was well produced. Overall, good song indeed. I'm willing to buy it now to see what the others sound like.

Graet song

Funny, I just scrolled down Metal Storm as this song was playing on my iTunes.

Don't like it at all, the vocals are especially horrible.

I don't like the intro at all,
vocals are okay i guess but the 'silent whisper vocals' are horrible
