The middle part is veeery noodly, it's good that it's not any longer. But agreed, it kicks ass.

She may have found a reason to forgive ... OH YEA YEEEEAAAA!

This album just has fantastic melodies. It's probably because many things on this album are nods to Metropolis Part 1. I'm so happy when I discover a new link to that song, haha. It's so damn good

I needed to warm up to Through Her Eyes tbh, mostly because of the lyrics. But it's indeed beautiful and LaBrie has a nice and warm tone in this record.

I just this gave this another listen last night too. The end of the album still creeps me out.

Finally Free is a hell of a closer. One of their best song in general imo. I'm not so sure about the scream at the end though lol

The song itself is fantastic. But the "record cut" sound, the scream, and then the static freaked me out when I was listening to it half asleep last night in the dark, lol.

well, Nicholas dies. I mean, this doesnt quite make sense as the psychiatrist suddenly goes "Oh. So in my last life I've killed this person. Yeah, fuck it, I'm gonna do it again #YOLO"

So the psychiatrist wakes him up and immediately kills him then.

One thing I don't understand is, the psychiatrist also tells him to wake up at the beginning of the track to "feel peaceful and refreshed". Did he just trick him into thinking he woke him up that time?

nah if I'm getting their idea correctly it goes like this:

Nicholas is on yet another session where he unveils what happened to victoria, his last life. He's happy he knows what happened there, but he's tired. So he drives to his house, puts some clasical tune on. And then psychiatrist, who was leading his sessions starts to remember his shit and goes like "oh ill stalk that motherfucker in every life he gets", says brb to his wife or whoever he lived with and goes to Nickolas'es house

I was thinking that Nicholas was under hypnosis the entire album, but that explanation makes more sense.

nah bro, on Fatal Tragedy he himself is walking around the city where Victoria used to live.

I've read some detailed plot explanation few years ago, can't find it now tbh. Anyway, there are 3 songs where he's awake (not counting album opener)

I'd say the therapist doesn't stalk him, he kills Nicholas when he realizes Nicholas was his brother in the "Victoria life." Ultimate revenge, per se.

Nicolas was Victoria. That's the whole point of the story, guys, please, it's not that hard

Yea, it's ture. In "Through My Words" Nicolas says: 'All your eyes have ever seen, all you've ever heared, is etched upon my memory, is spoken through my words.'

Nicolas remembers his former life as Victoria. That's why they're 'sharing one eternity', Nicolas will join her after death, but they're 'living in two minds' because they're two different people
