Rating: Yet another confirmation for this band that is positioning itself as the best progressive band, a title so far rightly held by bands such as Dream Theater and then Fates Warning, etc.
This album continues the journey begun with The Perfect Element Part 1, but enriches it with some truly exceptional instrumental parts, loaded with that nostalgic energy that a sepia-tinted old photo might evoke.
Extraordinary as usual is the vocal performance of the talented Daniel Gildenlow and remarkable also is the performance of the group in general.
The tones of this album remain similar to those of Tpep1, even though the recording here becomes a bit more intimate, with greater emphasis on the drums for power and the guitars for sound clarity.
Once again, unfortunately, the bass by Gildenlow's brother is a bit too much in the background in my opinion, even though he is an excellent bassist capable of notable technical adjustments (slapping above all).
A must-have for fans and for those who love strong emotions and good music.

Guys, I bought a masterpiece. A record that not only matches 'The Perfect Element Part. I', but even surpasses it.
You can’t not buy such a beautiful record because it’s truly fantastic.

Masterpieces are listened to... not commented on!
An album that presents itself as less dark and gloomy than the previous one and seems to offer a more melodic approach even in the harder moments, giving the album a truly classy touch.

It is an album without flaws and finds perhaps its strength in the convincing voice of the leader, capable of elevating an already excellent musical work to a higher level.
WE WILL ALWAYS BE SO MUCH MORE HUMAN THAN WE WISH TO BE.

"An album with great songs, excessive and redundant arrangements and zero (I say zero!) sense."
"Daniel Gildenlow is a genius and he knows it very well, and it breaks my heart to hear how he struts by singing in 4 different styles in 2 seconds of a song."

"An album with great songs, redundant and exaggerated arrangements and zero (I say zero!) sense; a way, in my opinion, to fill a time gap while waiting for a new work."
