An excellent progressive rock album built around the theme of mythology and fantasy. The music is complex and layered. There is everything from intense, hardcore arrangements to slow, lilting melodies. The music varies greatly in structure and style, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested.

People who like blended genres, rock and roll, or orchestral soundtracks

The variety of the songs, the excellent acoustic riffs and melodies, and the sometimes shocking level of detail

Not much, but there are a few places where the melody becomes repetitive

Daydream about places far away

Ethereal, enlightened, calm

It is an album you can listen to several times without becoming bored. The arrangements are excellent and there is barely ever a dull moment.
