5.0 classicjokz001 | December 2nd 20

A conceptual masterp�ece which is able to get into the depths of your heart. A shocking and
empathetic story guided by mature and well-constructed, heartbreaking lyrics and a correct study
of the disease.

4.5 superbRobert Davis | September 28th 20

One of the greatest prog metal concept albums I've heard recently. It's an emotional
conceptual journey through the life (and eventual death) of a Dementia patient and lyrically
really hits home to those who have known someone to suffer from the disease. It's constructed
and performed impeccably well, but it goes without saying you should pay as much attention to
the lyrics as the music in order to get the full experience.

4.5 superbmaninthebox | January 8th 21

Probably one of the most emotional albums of the year for (with the exception of the top 2). The concept of the album almost overshadows the music and truly is the highlight of the whole release. The music itself is the perfect brooding mishmash of Opeth, Queensryche, and Tool influence which for the most part lends itself perfectly to the overall concept. Best Song: The Oublietter

0.0 Slex | December 6th 20

There's hardly a transition on this album that isn't complete nonsense and there's a weird divide between the emotional story and the rip-roaring rocking of a lot of this, but I'll be damned if this isn't stuffed to the gills with superbly memorable moments. A frustrating album that is nonetheless an enchanting experience.

4.5 superbMNprogfan | December 6th 20

Absolutely blown away by this album. Emotionally charged prog concept excellence!

4.0 excellentKSR0203 | October 31st 20

Pros: Some Mikael Akerfeldt and Soen influence in the vocal delivery. A mixture of Opeth and
Porcupine Tree influence in tone. Cons: There's a lot of "Henry" in this album

4.0 excellentdaemonic | October 4th 20

I hear influences from Opeth and Caligula's Horse. And this is not bad!

5.0 classicDarrrk0 | October 1st 20

Super moving and powerful Prog metal. The music reminded me mostly of Haken, Artificial Language and Wilderun.
