5.0 out of 5 stars If you miss this, you'd be foolish..., March 21, 2007

Wow...that's really all I can muster at the moment. This album has completely blown me away from start to finish. For anyone into metal, it covers all bases...the group's musical influences are very apparent as you can hear shades of Iron Maiden, Slayer, and even some Zeppelin. Maria is more talented than you can imagine with a voice that goes from angelic to gutteral in the blink of an eye. Howorth & Bunzel blaze through dueling solos and harmonies, Jesse rides strong basslines throughout (especially on "Circles"), and Jeff the drummer shreds EVERYTHING...You could set Big Ben to his timing. This is a stunning, stunning album. There is something here for everyone and I guarantee you will walk away happy...

I LOVE this album. I really love Maria Brink. Wow, is this a great album. This will kick you in the face at one moment and then kiss you the next. Maria Brink's vocals are amazing to listen to, harsh one moment then angelic the next. I love the awesome mix of beauty and brutality, and Maria and the band do it all so well. Great band, great album! IN THIS MOMENT...you won't forget, I can't, I'm blown away! Love you guys, you made my day.

I love this band! I have seen them live a couple of times. I pre-ordered this cd a few months ago and received it on St. Patty's Day. The band plays aggressive and can switch to softer sounds with ease. Maria Brink is amazing, able to switch between her ear shattering screams and her haunting melodic voice effortlessly. Beautiful Tragedy is a softer song that still has kick and Prayers is always good, while Daddy's Falling Angel shows just how ear shattering Maria's voice can be. I love the intro Whispers for October and the outro at the end of When the Storm Subsides...I usually don't like that type of stuff on albums. The first song I heard from In This Moment, and still my favorite is Ashes which draws a lot of imagery for the lyrics from Revelations among other things.

All in all, a great CD! I have listened to it straight through several times already!
