| Worst prodused album avord
This album would be the best in a last 20 years , if not the recording of the vocals.Hardly can hear anything,without the booklet I wouldn't be able to figure out the words.What is wrong with these guys?To drown out the vocals like that is plain stupid.A great album is totally ruined !Would be 5 stars,but this way only 2.

| Bad recording
This album would be very good if only the recording would be better.Why is that , the vocals are so back in the mix,you can't hear anything of it sometimes.I thought the vocals are very important part of a song.Well,not for these guys.This totally ruined the album,so frustrating ,that I do not even want to listen anymore.

| Good album, unfortunately not a great one
For starters I think the first track (Big Bang) could be left out. It's the typical pompous beginning commom in progressive rock and "conceptual" works. There is no doubt they are excelent musicians and also very creative. Most of the album reminds me of Dream Theater but could also be compared with Marillion or IQ. In my opinion the weak spot is the lyrics. During the instrumental parts they are fabulous but when the vocalist sings about God and science it spoils it. Its too pretensious and corny. They should stick with simple matters, give more emphasys to the instrumental or hire a better lyricist

| Excelent comeback
Pallas is a remanescent of old-Prog Rock, and this work is really outstanding. Musically interesting and creative, it manages to keep Prog Rock alive in the level of Transatlantic. Their quality on-stage is also fantastic, and if you're in for some time travel, Pallas is a good choice.

| Good Neo-Prog
This is the first Pallas album that I bought, but have heard good things about this band. I agree with the other reviewer that the musicianship is excellent, but the lyrics are, well, a bit hard to take and over the top, in my view. I hear that Pallas' The Sentinel is a great album, and I haven't been so turned off that I won't give them another try. You might give the band IQ a try if you're into neo-prog.
