This release is quite different from the first two. I think this CD would be a good one to become acquainted with this largely talented band. The reason being is that the sound is throttled- down from the all- out intensity of their earlier works, which may freak some people out if they're not used to aggresive, highly- diverse, unpredictable song formats. This is more atmospheric, mainstream progressive music with MELLOTRON aplenty. The distorted "Thick Rick" bass sound has been polished, but is still upfront ,and the overall sound is more digestable for novice listeners. It's still dark, complex, awesome music that you will never hear on the radio, but it's freakin' GREAT! I really am excited about this band, as you may notice by my recently purchasing all of their work. They rank right up there with Porcupine Tree, King Crimson and some of my other favorites. Highly recommended!

This album was taken from the metal section of my usual store but it isn't metal (maybe they were before this album but I never heard any other compositions from them). I would say they are rock psychedelic and ambient.

It an easy listening album, not really focus on lyrics which are kind of poor to my point of vu (words are cold and without feelings).

My favorite track "The war is over", is a very pleasant accoustic guitar song. Second favorite is "Gravity", I like the distortion parts and the space genre it becomes. Check out the cello on song "What should but did not die".

A good album

Still typical gloomy Anekdoten sound,still a good album, but there is nothing progressive in my opinion. There are a couple very good songs in the album but they don't make it essential. Alternative rock fans may love this more than progressive fans.

These guys are in the same category as RPWL. Their music is decent, enteretaining - basically some good tunes. But some of the songs that are longer get boring because there is no new music introduced - they just keep repeating the basic tune. These guys certainly don't come close to the masters of prog like Genesis, Marillion, Flower Kings, IQ, etc. I wouldn't buy any more of their CD's based on this one.

2 1/2



Stagnant and stilted for the most part, the awkwardly translated prog-pop will appeal only to loyalists of the sub-genre.
