4 stars Well, this is the most hated effort by the dEUS' fan community, it was their comeback, after six years of not releasing original material, so the expectations must had been high, well, I don't know why it seemed so disappointing to everyone, it is my favorite dEUS album! The fact that this was the first one that I listened to, and immediately fell in love with it, might have affected that but, nevertheless, it is my favorite.

"Bad Timing" is the perfect, slow, dynamic opener, it is a constant crescendo with beautiful melodies, a really nice piece, very well done. "7 Days, 7 Weeks" was the first single, a really graceful tune, very passionate lyrics and singing, a really great song. "If You Don't Get What You Want" is a true groovy rocker, really cool music, and another one of my favorite dEUS songs.

This album has my absolute favorite dEUS song, "Include Me Out" is one of the most perfect songs I ever heard, beautiful poetry, stunning melodies and a really moody ambient, gorgeous music! Another beautiful song is the closer "Nothing Really Ends", one more passionate ballad, just as beautiful as it can be, dEUS can't fail in the ballads!

Another moments worth mentioning are the epic "Pocket Revolution", ridden by a cool groove, rocker "Cold Sun Of Circumstance" and one more beautiful ballad "The Real Sugar", "Sun Ra", the most experimental tune in the album also deserves to be mentioned, but pales in comparison to other dEUS' experimental tracks.

Overall, a great album, very very cohesive, and that's why I appreciate it so much, it flows wonderfully and has some real great music, not prog, but still nice.
