When I found this album buried in the used section of a local music store, I was at first dismayed. For who possibly could not find it in themselves to love and appreciate this unbelievable band? But I was also happy because it was all I needed to complete my Salvation catalogue. This album is 100 percent beauty in rock from start to finish. A natural progression from Entropia, and yet different in many ways. The concept is still war-oriented. The music is much more focused; songs flow into each other more coherently. Of course we have Daniel Gildenlow's heavenly vocals. He doesn't strain so hard on this album, and delivers some of the most killer vocals harmonies I've ever heard. If you want to pour your heart out, this band is the way to go. "Perfect" does not do it justice.
