...been too frightened to think. So I kept it in my pocket, told no one; it was my first secret." The unyielding and unnecessary simplification of language appears forced. The symbolism, like the egg, appears artificial, and Ilana's stories of women without feet and goblins in the woods reek of a paternalistic treatment of the intangible folklore past of the "Old Country...
...same old same old: heavy riffs, ambitious solos, and tender moments disintegrated by explosions of prog power. The album unabashedly flaunts its rock theatrics, with tracks divided into acts and scene. There's even a cast of characters. Although some tracks like "Overture 1928" and "The Spirit Carries On" reek of Rush's 2112 and Pink Floyd's The Wall respectively, the surprisingly original collection of musical scenes relates a hypnotic story that is enthralling, terrifying and satisfying when examined as a complete, work.
