Change isn't always for the better! Personally I liked 2009's "The Phoenix" with it's emphasis on a Neoclassical driven sound. On their newest effort they've dropped those elements in favor of a clean, but more radio friendly, Hard Rock shift. It works on the opener 'Event Horizon' and 'Great Heavens Climb' but the rest of the album is flat in comparsion. Not to take anything away from vocalist Giorgia Gueglio who is stunning in songs that speak of desire and the many forms it takes.
