Absolutely. I was listening to this on headphones this morning, and I couldn't stop thinking about how great the mix is. Everything sounds so clear and crisp.

I still need to listen to No Exit by the way.
I vaguely remember listening to The Ivory Gate of Dreams in 2009 or so, but I wasn't impressed back then. I'm sure it'd be a lot different now though.

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah the album sounds very clean, it just lacks a bit of that extra punch that the albums from APSOG onward have. Thankfully Matheos never really overly compressed and Fates album, so most of them sound good.



Alder (best vocalist from the big three) and Zonder rule fucking hard



No Exit is good, but I personally prefer the next few albums. Its the transitional album that would lead to this gem

A spirit of belonging

Satisfies your longing

But the truth is never seen!



False sense of freedom grows

But dependency shows

Your part of the machine!



A hopeless choice,

Searching for someone real

You could find that voice

But you never learned to feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel

when that violin comes in in chasing time



best moment in music?

Album Rating: 4.5

Violin solo stuff in "Losing It" better IMO, "Chasing Time" still good.

This album's boring. You'd have to pay me to listen to every song. The only song I remember being alright is Through Different Eyes
