Dark Adrenaline was far better than Shallow Life. lol One of their best efforts since Karmacode or Comalies.

2nd single from The Quantum Enigma. I think it's gonna be a great album.

At first I was gonna say I like them exactly the same.

Now I've listened to both tracks about a million times and I'm leaning more towards Essence Of Silence as the better track, though I still love Utopia Unchained.

The only thing I could wish for would be a guest appearance by Khan. He and Simone always sang really great together.

I've had the album about a week now. As I thought it would be, an amazing album front to back.

Essence Of Silence is still the best track for me, but everything else is great. Not a bad one in the bunch.

I've only heard it a couple of times so far, but the two tracks that stood out for me were "Essence Of Silence" (we agree on that one - Simone has rarely sounded better!) and "The Fifth Guardian (Interlude)" (A bit odd I guess). The bonus disc with the acoustic tracks is also nice! The production really stands out and I think Simone sounds better than on the past couple of albums - if not ever.

The new album I am really loving so far. They keep somehow outdoing themselves of their previous albums.
The Fifth Guardian is an interlude but a really beautifully crafted one.

This is another great track, uptempo like Unleashed.

Quietus is a fantastic tune. Had a very folkish feel to it.
