I think that this album ranks only slightly above Out of Myself (although I am listening to Out of Myself right now and I wonder if I can really say that)

Just as Out of Myself was a clean, beautiful, well orchestrated album, so is Second Life Syndrome. It draws you in with it's powerful songs and holds onto you.

Volte Face is a good introduction to the album, and gives a taste of what is to come.

My favorite (this is a tough one) is probably the title song Second Life Syndrome. It covers all the range of emotions.

Reality Dream is another very good song, ranging from somewhat melodic and emotional, to heavy and chaotic. It also has a beautiful guitar solo.

Artificial Smile is my least favorite song on the album. This is the weakest in terms of creativity (but still not bad).

This is a must have album for any prog enthusiast.
