Bij de intro dacht ik snel dat het weer zo'n typisch progbandje zou zijn: technisch allemaal erg knap, maar o zo saai. Ik bleef voor alle zekerheid luisteren, was misschien niet meteen overtuigd, doch enkele luisterbeurten zorgden toch voor net voldoende interesse om er iets over te pennen. Mooie opbouw, meeslepende drive, goed gezongen, knappe dynamiek en voldoende power. Ik begin het te voelen en ben alvast benieuwd naar een volgende song van dit viertal.
