The first album was a great discovery for me. I was looking forward to their second album. They did not disappoint my expectation. The thing that I really liked about the last album was the arrangement of the song. It had a lot of rhythm change and modulation and sounded progressive but not complicated. The differences from the last album are that sound became more pop, and their influence from 80's music became more obvious. Some people took that change negatively. Nevertheless, I am really pleased with the sound. They were already an unique band in this genre, melodic power metal. I think they really established their style, and this album really represents the music they wanted to do.
Amazing thing about this band is the number of riffs that they came up with and dense quality of each of them. Keyboard brings good sound of 80's back to this album. Their composition also kept high quality this time. Especially, track 8 is astonishing. It has dramatic progression in the song. I think this song is condensed with their composition skill and musicianship. Too bad this band no longer exists. Even just for a short-term, I want them to reunite.
