Well, this is no doubt a masterpiece. Though it contains some odd materials, it's a milestone album of progressive rock (especially for the Greek). This double album sensed colorful. The disc 1 contains shorter track, then the second disc contains heavier tracks. I've known that this was a concept album, but I don't know what the concept is yet.

"The System" is seems like an introduction track. It only sounds with shout of men who want to break the system. The song fades to "Babylon", the next track. A song with an interesting arrangement, sounded much like the Beatles. "Loud, Loud, Loud" was a spooky song. We can hear a girl was describing how the world when the time of apocalypse has come and it was wordful. "The 4 Horsemen" is a standard AC song, harmonious, wordful and strong in composition. The next track, "The Lamb" was a magnificent instrumental piece. Great guitar and keyboard performance in this song. "The 7th Seal" was another speaking song. "Aegian Sea" was an instrumental piece, but this one's more cinematic. "Seven Bowls" is another horrifying song. "The Wakening Beast" and "Lament" is a more experimental instrumental piece. Then, "The Marching Beast" as its title, is nuanced more glorious. The next songs was an instrumental medley which, I think that was cool.

Disc 2, opens with "7 Trumpets" which sounded like "The System" in the first disc. Then, "Altamont" crushed with grandiose tone, very impressive. The song fades to "The Wedding of the Lamb", a percussion-dominant song. The song fades to "The Capture of the Beast" is still percussive, but more experimental. The odd "Infinity" is very psychedelic vocals invention, rage and rant and rave. "Hic and Nunc" was another Beatles-esque song, sounded much like "Babylon" in the first disc. Then, we arrived to the magnificent 20- minute opus called "All the Seats were Occupied". This song was seems like a bundle of the previous tracks, but it have its own composition. "Break" is a good closing song, little bit reprised by a hidden phrase in the very end of the song (the phrase was "Do it!").

Well, I don't know the concept. But, it felt so strong and mesmerizing. So, I give 5 stars rate to this Greek monumental album.
