Good symphonic metal album, NOT a good Apocalyptica album

"Had I maybe downloaded this album, perhaps I wouldn't have felt as gypped as I did when I listened to it after purchasing it. I liked this album quite a bit, however it just doesn't feel like an Apocalyptica album at all. I guess if less is more, more is less. The best thing about Apocalyptica was that all they played wsith was cellos and nothing else. They pretty much carved their niche without Vocals or cellos. That said, this is good as a typical symphonic metal CD, but not so much an Apocalyptica CD. There are good songs on here like Cohkka, Somewhere Around Nothing, Heat, and Toreador II, but just beware of the previous claims I made."

"I love all these hardcore undertones in the melodic sound of the strings. Beautiful arrangements."

"Great listening. Mood altering in a positive way. Wonderful to hear the cello being played in a unique way by these young and talented men."
Good stuff

"It's not bad. If you like Goth Rock, you'll probably like it. A little more instrumentation and classical themes than, say, Within Temptation or Luccana Coil. And the female vocalist -- while good -- isn't of the same quality as those two. But, very good. A good listen."
Powerful and beautiful....

"Four cellists from Findland that will rock your socks off!
Their interpetations of Metallica are rock solid."
