This is a very hard album to describe, as it doesn't really sound like anything or anyone else, and is perhaps better off because of that. There is a good amount of strings and piano on this album, almost more than drums/guitar/bass, and the sound is neoclassical, but not in the Yngwie sense. The melodies are very well developed on each track, and leads are organized in such a way that they build off one another, creating a very lush sound to say the least. It's not so overdone that it is bombastic, just very majestic and (dare I say) soulful. I've rarely heard compositions with the kind of incredible emotion depth as these, particularly the title track. The lyrics are of the love-song variety for the most part, but they are very tasteful and complement the scene set by the instrumentals nicely. Same for the vocals, which are mid-range, with a mild accent, but never drift into high-pitched wailing, or death-growling.
Even with all the bits and bytes I just occupied writing this review, it really doesn't do this album justice, you must hear it to understand this kind of beauty. Don't jump in expecting "traditional" prog-metal, just listen and enjoy dammit! It's really that good.
