User Album Review
The album is actually very guitar-oriented, at least as far as the thick and heavy riffing is concerned, while the rhythm section is muscular. Melody is still the central component, enhanced by the sparkling keyboards and Barlow's passionate patterns. The tunes have a certain density, in part because of the production and in part because of Barlow's fat tones. A slew of tunes are especially catchy in a gracefully powerful sense with smartly written choruses, "Year of the Phoenix", "A Beautiful Death", and "Caramon's Poem" particularly noteworthy. Then again, there really isn't a bad cut on the album, including the intro ("Arise"), outro ("March Through Endless Rain"), and a touching, keyboard-driven ballad called "Legacy in a Rhyme". And PYRAMAZE accomplishes it all by always composing in a way that focus on the guts of the song, rather than crowding the arrangements. --- blabbermouth.net
