Am surprised that 'God Of The Sun', 'Labyrinth' and 'Opus Maximus' aren't divided up into 'a,b,c,d, and e' segments for their track listings. So many different sounds and styles that don't seem to mesh, or could have been shuffled and placed in any other track, or just removed entirely.
'Labyrinth' seems to steal from 'The Ministry of Lost Souls' in parts, and the opening synth is more than vaguely familiar to Queen's 'The Show Must Go On'

The shorter tracks were quite good for the most part. Thal and JSS are good for the most part. DS is good at times. IMO, just a drawn out rather 'meh' release. If MP and DS had spent some of the 'foot in mouth' PR session time to refining and tweaking this with the rest of their 'band', I wouldn't have been so disappointed.
