This is definitely Andromeda showing their powerful side, so many moments on this album are more explosive by far than anything on the first two albums. That being said there's a lot more to dismiss here. "The Hidden Riddle" is one of those tracks that I skip even if I'm listening to this cover-to-cover. I also was kind of hoping that nearing ten minutes, "Blink of an Eye" would be closer to "epic" rather than the sheer heaviness that I hear throughout the song. I'm also a little disappointed that the technical prowess of Andromeda is so much more subtle on this record besides the solos. Ending on a good note though I discovered this group after this album was released and I thought it had enough fresh ideas that I was excited for the next release.
