5/5
It's probably the album that hasn't got even a weaker song,lol

The lyrics particulary are my favorite from the whole Epica discography.Plus it has my all time favorite Epica song:Cry For The Moon.

I also love Façade Of Reality and The Phantom Agony.
The only thing that bothers me on this album is:Simone's voice

She sounds beautiful but she became more versatile through years.When I first hered this album I though she was a contralto,LOL but she is clearly a mezzo
In my opinion the videos are better in the TPA era
