I just recently became a fan of Cradle, and this was the first CD that i acctually owned of thiers. From the demonic "sin deep my wicked anger" the first track you know this album will just blow your timid mind away. On to the explosive "all hope lies in ecplise" and all the way thru till the last track this album is absolute musical genious. I can understand how some people dont like this music but thats because they dont understand it. For the old man who listens to opera i suggest him to listen to the last minute of "summer dying fast" and still try to tell me that these guys arent talented.
