A pulsating and charge-filled amalgamation of progressive and thrash metal, Nevermore's sophomore album is anything but a slump. Everyone in the band drives the music home with concussive and shattering brilliance. This is further topped out by Warrel Dane giving a loud, throbbing vocal performance that leaves so many others sounding utterly weak. Almost impossible to put down and entrancing, a seldom dry moment does little to deter what is, ultimately, an incredible album.

A barrage of heavy riffing featuring one of the greatest guitarists ever; Jeff Loomis. Nevermore are a unique band in combining unearthly heavy riffs and tone with power metally vocals and wonderful shred. The mix on this album was a bit of a problem for me with the guitars very much in the forefront. However the misic was spectacular, if a bit repetitive.

This is no doubt a Nevermore album. Pretty cool, almost industrial sounding, songs with Loomis' face melting solos.

Very interesting follow up to Nevermore's debut, however their best work is yet to come.

A great follow up to the bands self-titled debut, this showcases a bit more of the stylistic change in musical direction the band would undertake. Some of Danes' vocals on this album are up there with his best, and Loomis' instrumental shows another side to his player as well.

Like said before, this album is very technical and doesn't have much substance. However, that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable! The political lyrics aren't as atrocious as they've gotten on "Godless Endeavor", atleast. Despite the awful title track and the completely useless "Precognition", this album is powerful, but a little repetetive. "The Learning" is an epic, and one of my favorite Nevermore tracks. Overall, a good album, but not one to look to for any kind of spiritual depth.
