Excerpt from an advanced review by Martin Dambeck in the latest edition of Empire Magazin: "After a strong start, the album gains even more momentum towards the middle, until it downright explodes in the 16-minute finale "Ordinary Maniac". This track has everything a Prog-Fan could wish for and is pretty much the best piece of music SSTTGD have created. Ever! Melodies, countless breaks, escalating solos, including hammond organ and a "Kansas Memorial" violin solo by Steve Unruh. The dynamics of this song knock the listener off his feet.
