Ancient Mariner
A Silent Arc
The contrast between heavy verse and softer chorus wasn´t my cup of tea at first but the more I listened to the song, the more natural it feeled.
A melodic solo follows after the second chorus. A softer part then changes into chugging riffs with sampled vocals, nicely sung by Tom. Alot is going on in this song and then there´s still a fantastic guitar solo too! Great opener! 9/10
Weightless
The combination of synths and guitar riffs in the intro is truly great! The verses remind me of those of Passing Through. Catchy chorus too!
The instrumental section is abit messy but the Savatagian guitar solo makes it abit more bearable. Sudden ending. 8/10
All I Have
Weird sounding intro and the verse is abit strange as well. The chorus however is good! Still it feels like they don´t fit together that well.
Majestic Pink Floydian solo flowing into the chorus again. And another guitar solo! Creepy outro! 7/10
A Secret Atlantis
And here we have the first highlight of the album! What a great intro! The verse flows naturally in prechorus and then the chorus.
Djenty instrumental part with amazing drumming and an unexpected keyboardsolo!
Vocal samples and heavy riffs and guitar solo over a maidenish riff. 9/10
The Tidal
Atmospheric instrumental track meant as a prelude to End Of Silence.
End of Silence
Wonderful vocal lines in the verse and beautiful touching melodies. The song gets abit heavier and breaks open in the chorus. Amazing! Cool riffs and bass part, then keyboards join before a twin guitar riff. Absolutely gorgeous part! Heavier part transitions into the chorus again. 9/10
Currents
Typical Evergrey by numbers intro. Awesome bass during the verses and oh boy then that chorus comes in! Just fantastic! Shredding solo followed by a more melodic one, keyboards and the chorus again. I love the outro so much this would´ve been a perfect album closer. My favourite of the album. 10/10
Departure
Gotta love the bass here! Toms doing a great job in the verses. He´s a real storyteller on this album. The prechorus builds towards a climax which we get in the chorus! Beautiful instrumental part before second verse. After the chorus a gorgeous acoustic part, then Tom and piano. Climax time with incredible vocal lines and Marillionesque solo. What a masterpiece of a song! 10/10
The Beacon
Seagulls in the intro and it's not Darkest Hour! Vocal sample and haunting keyboards! Holy mother of God! This is great! Brilliant chorus and bridge and then solo time! Very melodic and addictive! 9/10
This Ocean
Chuggy intro. Supergreat vocal lines in the verses and yes peepz: catchy chorus!
In the middle of the song there's a breakdown with abit too short solo and then chorus again.
Good song. 8/10
