5.0 out of 5 stars Probably one of my Top 10 Favorites, December 14, 2003

By	Angela Dryden (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This CD is one of the best CD's I have ever heard. I am not a die hard XYMOXER. Everything I read about this CD is that it sucks. I am here to tell you that it doesn't. This CD is unexpected almost pop from XYMOX. I think their best effort!!
Incredible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goth-Pop.... can you believe it?, October 25, 2004

By	SRFireside "ZOOM!" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Xymox is one of those bands that has shown a lot of creativity in their previous albums and this one seems to take their sound to a level I bet nobody really expected or even imagined. Polygram liked the band, but asked for something more commercial sounding. The band, being pretty much goth, did the best they could and as a result made some of the most intruiging music I have ever heard.

The melodies are very accessible and so is a lot of the music. Many late 80's club fans will get a definite charge out of the music while straight up music fans will appreciate the contemporary feel. The real difference in all this is the singing style that Ronnie and Anke have were still very much post modern. The mix of brooding vocal style and a brighter sounding musical tone give this album a killer feel.

Progressive dance tracks are still here with songs like WRITTEN IN THE STARS and Wonderland. You also get some sweet reflective tracks with PHOENIX OF MY HEART and MARK THE DAYS. Then Anke's lush singing style gives you a whole different feel with SMILE LIKE HEAVEN.

Gothic techno fans will likely not like this album as much as their debut or Twist of Shadows, however those of you who are a little open minded about creative and danceable music, just a little, you will find some great music here.
