The new album is easily the musical highlight for me this year. Only on my second spin now, but this is some really great stuff. Very catchy, and Tommy has never been better. The mix isn't perfect, but it does sound pretty good on headphones. A bit more bass in general would be appreciated, and the guitars sound a little muddy. Still, none of that is able to take anything away from my enjoyment of the album. This music feels like it's written for me, it just fits my taste so well. I hope that they'll be able to release new music more frequently again, SW is much more interesting to me at this point than Kamelot.
