In a few words:
The first time I listened to this band was back in 2002 (my first album was the masterpiece called "A Sense Of Change"). I was so amazed with that album. The reason I use this prologue is that "The Art..." could easily be the new "A Sense...". Although is a very technocratic album, it contains a lot of beautiful melodies that makes it easily understood even to people who are not familiar with prog metal. The technique of the musician cannot be criticized (it is at very high standards). The voice of new vocalist (Arno Menses) fits excellent to the beautiful music. Here we have one of the best albums of the decade 2000 - 2009.

Personal highlights:
All the album of course!!!
