"Back after a 10 year hiatus and once again proving they are at the top of modern symphonic prog with complex and flowing songwriting combined with neo-symphonic and progressive pop passages. A masterful couple of suites." (bartyMJ, S, )
"In direct comparisn with the sister album VII those two lengthy suites are less appealing, though this is still on a quality level many other bands hardly will be able to achieve." (Rivertree, A, )
