Wilson's vocal range was characterized as "slightly softer and softer" than the McDermotts.
reception
The album was named Rock Hard Album of the Month magazine . Michael Rensen awarded ten out of ten possible points and wrote: “This pleasantly modern disc is on a par with the great Dream Theater and Fates Warning sanctuaries and for me is the best Metal album since Dream Theater's high-flyer Scenes from a memory . ”Lothar Hausfeld from Musikreviews.de wrote that the band managed to“ find the perfect balance ”on the album:“ Wherever there is demand for full riffing guitars, the guitars riff well. Where dominant keyboard wobble sounds fit, the keyboards wobble dominantly in the foreground. Exactly these effects occur where melancholic parts with sparse instrumentation should provide an atmospheric background. ”The rating was 14 out of 15 points. Michael Edele from Laut.de awarded four out of five stars: “You don't even know which song to name first, because the British have succeeded in adding a couple of hooks to each number that go straight to the ear without being cheesy or to look too trendy.
