Here it is in all it's glory! 
The first thing I noticed was the fantastic quality of the artwork. It's definitely more than a step above the generic skimpy girl and flashy pop-out texts of the normal albums. The cover is beautiful! It evokes a strange combination of raw power, yet peacefulness and serenity. The inside flipbook is actually a pop-out banner for the album, with the names of the songs written inside. Super cool. I had a word printed on the CD itself, "Zero".
The music is absolutely beyond anything I've heard. It's one of those rare albums where you click play, and wake up on other side, like Above & Beyond's Group Therapy. The songs blend perfectly, it's like one big journey rather than a compilation CD. All the songs have their own varied flavor, while still keeping the same theme of serenity yet power throughout.
Overall, stunning, simply stunning. I urge anyone to pick this up if they haven't seen / heard about it yet.

I don't really see what's so great about this album. I've listened to the samples and this is usually my stuff, but I can't say I like it

I HAVEN'T EVEN BOUGHT IT YET AND I KNOW IT'S PHENOMENAL
I really need to grab it but I'm spending so much on CDs it's unreal.

When it arrived, I skipped through the CD quickly and thought similar, but I was wrong, second listen all the way though without skipping and I must say, the original review is accurate, there is more to this CD than the sum of it's individual parts.

I've not had chance to listen but I could tell straight away it's more like a story than a compilation of music. Going to give this a good listen all the way through a few times. Sounding good from what i've heard though.

How immense is wings of light??? it's bloody stunning and it's so great to be hearing melodies with big kicks again although Noblesse Oblige has to be my favorite on the album. The music is incredible to be honest and i'm amazed by the album. I feel i lost the love for freeform because it seemed to lose that melodic euphoria for more of a dark twisty feel and this stuff more than brings that with as i mentioned earlier big kicks. It's so much more than just that though, it's like someone said earlier in the thread, it's more like a story than a compilation.

when jokes get serious!
my one-of-a-kind special edition!
During At Peace set for an internet radio event on aniradio, we had a nice chat about the album and Shimotsukei said that its worth to buy it because of artwork. my answer was "even when nicky minaj is on it, i still would buy it ffs!". well, everyone had a good laught at this, even At Peace, so one thing lead to another, so our Olly created this!
