    This is a album that sees the band right back to their best. [21 Jan 2012, p.53]

    With a fine balance of clean singing between Scabbia and Ferro, atop the technicality of strings and beats, there's something for everyone.

    Melodic and mercurial, immaculate and overwrought, it's not for everybody, but six albums in, Lacuna Coil have proven themselves more than worthy of both the attention of commercial rock radio and the adoration of the progressive metal community.

    Andrea Ferro's growls and Cristina Scabbia's soaring melodies just about rescues this from sounding as dated as its influences. [Feb 2012, p.107]

    I'd say this album's really good! It has maybe one or two filler tracks but that's really no big deal. This is my favorite Lacuna Coil album thus far though. Good band!… Expand

    I'm not a big fan of them, but I really like this album. Cristina Scabbia's voice is great and there are some brilliant songs, like the first single "Trip The Darkness". A highly recommended album!… Expand
