"I was not able to appreciate the harsher elements of this type of music back when the album came out ... it is interesting how (musical) taste can change over the years. I really like the album now, and the remix/remaster in 2020 really improved things, all the little details come out much clearer now.
IMO this is a masterpiece. Even though some BtBaM albums that followed were even (a tiny bit better), this release firmly established the band as the leading Extreme Prog Metal artist. Extreme, melodic, sophisticated, weird ... perfection."
