  1. The more I listen to this CD, the more I like it. It sounds like a true return to form for them. Much more so than the last few releases. Glad they’re continuing to find a receptive audience.

  2. Without a doubt one of the top three DT albums ever. The most melodic thing they’ve ever done. Grandiose, catchy, emotional, beautiful, heavy. It has it all, and then some. Hasn’t left my car CD player in weeks, and won’t anytime soon. Has almost made my 6-disc changer obsolete, as I haven’t used the other 5 in weeks!!!
