I haven't listened to such monotonous despondency in a long time; lack of ideas is flourishing more and more over the years in this group. Everything seems as professional as possible, the vocalist is better than Anette Olzon, there are a couple of decent riffs, but in general, it's boring, the arrangements are chaotic, not a single sensible solo on any instrument was noticed. There is practically nothing to highlight from the songs, except maybe the first two tracks and the last "The Greatest Show on Earth", if not for its killing 24-minute concept. There is nothing worse than such a blind entry into the territory of prog. Progressive is, excuse me, not just the length of a composition.
