5.0 out of 5 stars Very progressive: IMO the best KD album after "Conspiracy", July 16, 2001

By	I. MUNOZ (Montreal, PQ, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is King Diamond (KD) at its best. After "Conspiracy", KD is no longer a black metal band, but a progressive one! This is demonstrated in "The Eye": It opens with an energetic and powerful piece: "The Eye Of The Witch", which is for me one of the bests KD themes ever. This CD sounds mature and majestic. The mystery and urgency is everywhere, and the musicianship is ground-breaking and excellent. Keyboards work with harmonies in a very professional way, and the tense atmosphere is maintained through the entire story. Not to mention guitars! Andy LaRocque reached again in this album a very neoclassic taste, without loosing his own personality and style. With tempo changes, riff after riff, he and Pete Blakk know how to play innovative metal without becoming jazzy. Drums are also brilliant, as well the bass guitar: KD has developed into a band that deploys a high level of quality in the metal scene, still maintaining its heavy roots. In addition, the entire album is coherent and well produced, with vocals delivering passion, fear, rage, anger, mercy... Admirable! And please, don't close the eyes to the song "Two Little Girls", in spite of its softness. It's a very well composed tune, at the same time chilling and tender: an actual masterpiece!

My final words: If you like progressive rock, this one is for you! Five stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest King Diamond album bar none, December 29, 1999

By	Vespertin "vespertin" (Kingston, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This album is a pure masterpiece. It is one of the top ten heavy metal albums of all time. The Mercyful Fate album "Don't Break the Oath" is the only other album that King Diamond participated in that is on equal footing as far as pure listening enjoyment is concerned. The complexity of this piece of metal artwork is breathtaking.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the classix, October 9, 1999

By A Customer

You have to admit it-This is one of the King's best works next to Abigal and the "Them" triology.The title track is a beautiful piece of music and art.It does make a point that someone with a high athority will always abuse it's power and will.If you say you are a metal head and listen to those Mtv "rap/metal" bands.....DIE.Stop ruining the name of metal.King Diamond, Mayhem, and Slayer are my gods
