This album kicks ass, no doubt about it. It not only met my expectations, but it completely blew them away. As of right now, i'd have to say that Septuagint, Prismal Dawn

, Celestial Spheres, Velocity, and Aevum are my favorite tracks, and that's not by a whole lot, because picking a favorite song in this album is like picking puppies that you don't want to be set on fire (that was a retarded comparison, but you get what i'm saying >_>). As you can tell, this album (to me at least) actually gets better towards the end, which is pretty fucking awesome. Definitely album of the year material for me so far.
