Disagree...

I loved this album. I thought it was one of the best i've heard in awhile. It combines everything cool from blindguardian and iced earth into one package and added a amphetamine like drumming while still keeping a melodic package. It's so much better than anything i've heard in a long time. So many bands rely on power chords and cookie monster vocalization that it's become cliche and lumped into "metal" genre that they sound like everything else...that or they go the other way and way over the top 80's metal style singing. Kind of like Tim "the ripper" Owens" who in his own right is an amazing singer but just not my cup of tea, as the English say.

The other reason I like that album, is i find it rather uplifting, it doesn't leave you with a feeling of dread and depression. You can't help but feel upbeat after listening to it.
There's my two cents, try not to throw it back at me too hard.
