I followed this album to release, and while it doesn't sound as good as it did then it's still enjoyable. The vocals of Mya are a nice departure from similar lead female vocal styles such as those found in Lacuna Coil and Evanescence; the backing vocals of Malice work well though he could improve on his delivery. The first half of the album initially seemed more unique to me, after "Andromeda" the tracks felt similar and it took a few listens until I was able to appreciate the album in its entirety. Recommended tracks: Stigmata - Catchy, was released online before the album came to the US. If you are able to check out the video, I personally enjoy the drummers style. My Haunted Self - A Lacuna Coil-ish duet between both vocalists, here you can decide if you like Malice or not. Factor:Misery - Opens up strong, and is something different than the rest of the album.
