[4] Powermetal.de  [ de ] recommended the tracks "Speak My Mind", "Unbroken", "Slow Down", and "Moving in Circles". [3] Metalitalia.it  [ it ] said the album sounds like Nevermore and Iron Maiden. [1] MetalReviews wrote: "If your are into classical heavy metal, I suggest you to check before you buy. If you like evolution, "put an ear" on the new Symphorce." [2]
