Query: it took a few listens

this CD took a few listens but it really grew on me. nice melodies, great musicians. initially the vocals sounded a bit srained/weak but i later changed my mind and really began to enjoy his voice. i've since aquired all the PALLAS CD's but this one remains my favorite followed by the double "Live" disc "blinding darkness". i recommed this one to all that like the band "arena" or just who like hi-quality melodic prog.
