This one, about the Order of the Illuminati (or whatever it is), is exceptional on the first half, thanks to the likes of "Dethrone Tyranny," "Damn The Machine" (both written by drummer Dan Zimmermann) and "The Heart Of The Unicorn", but it fades a bit on the second - songs such as "Eagle" are rather forgettable, although the concluding ballad, "Lake Of Tears", is pretty good.
Gamma Ray is certainly a band who has become consistent in my view, and very enjoyable, but I still think Kai Hansen could do better, if he really put his mind to it.
