Album Rating: 4.0

It's tied with Design Your Universe imo. Essence of Silence is their best track though.



But if they had decided to release the New Age Dawns parts on Design Your Universe as an EP that would have been their masterpiece by a long shot.

Album Rating: 4.5

The Second Stone might be their best song

It's songwriting is so tight, it's great.

Album Rating: 4.5

it's a real shame that you can't really get some of the bonus tracks. They're some of the best that's on this album.

Just saw the live video they have for "The Essence of Silence." REALLY kicking myself for not taking the chance to see them with Amon Amarth.

damn, that would've been a sick show

Yeah, and I had family near where the show was too. Hopefully Epica do another US tour in the next year or two with a nearby show. Amon Amarth I'm more indifferent to, but if they come near here with another cool band or two, I'd probably see them.

so glad the B-Sides for this got released
