OK, it took a while to write this review. But then again, it took a while to get used to this song. To me, it is not as catchy as the other 2 songs published (I didn't cry and Saving Lucidity), but after several listens, I have to say that this song has something, but not the intant "Wow!" I had with the other singles...

I Haven't commented on the previous song yet, but I will, after this review: I really like this one much more that the previous one, The Way I Am. It is a very strong song with moment of beauty and power. The song is more "accessible" than the previous one: this song doesn't try to be "as progressive as possible", which is what bothers me in the song The Way I Am. To me, this new song, Saving Lucidiy, is a great follow-up single for I Didn't Cry (better than The Way I Am was).
Yes, I still like the girl's voice, a lot!

Hangman - THE GALLOWS

This is really good heavy metal! Great riffs, tasty solo's that give added value the songs, vocals that sometimes remind me of early Hetfield and brilliant production!

Allow my to make abstraction of the vocals: I am not a big fan of grunts only (with a few exceptions like Angela Gossow's vocals in Arch Enemy and Anders Friden of In Flames). But the compositions are really great! I just don't understand why such a cool album only gets 869 listens in 7 months time!

I chose to listen to this album based on the tags of it: Gothic & Metal. It is not because you apply a bit of distortion to your guitar, that you have a metal song, or even a metal album.
To me this was such a disapointment. Maybe others like this music, but I certainly didn't. I usually don't give bad notes (if I don't like something, I don't comment it), but this is just not right: correct your tags plse. Or make a real gothic metal album...

Even without hearing the vocals, the riffing was so catchy! This tastes like more! The vocals give it a surrealistic twist.
Longed for fusion: longing for more of this!

Just listened and downloaded the predecessor: Tyrannical. And I have to say: this album takes it a step further. Excellent catchy riffs, leads where they add to the completeness of the song: I love the harmonies!
More of this! Yes please!
To use a dutch expression: "Vetgeil!" (it's up to you to look it up in a dictionary :-))

I cannot compare with your older stuff (yet) but in my humble opinion this is a strong album. The lack of vocals hasn't stopped players like Satch, Vai and the likes of making tasty albums.
The opener is really strong, with tasty leads.
The song Tyrannical initially felt like a bit too much of the same, until the some broke loose! Great finale!
In face the facts, the short jazzy breaks and the bridges afterwards really sound great!
As for Agony, I've been waiting for a blast-off, which unfortunately didn't come.
This album really was a trigger to look at your other albums as well!

Good arrangements, strong musicians, solo's that matter (without over-doing), impressive voice range of the vocalist. What more can I say? I like it. Reminds me of something else... just don't know what (for the moment).
I particularly like the atmosphere of "So far from this day".

I just don't understand why this song doesn't get more credit: online 310 times listened to (on October 3rd 2009). This song is soooo good: compared with the previous album, Drawn from the past have really grown.
This song is really great: I like the 2 guitar parts that acompany the vocals during the verses. And if you listen really good, you can hear a really nice bassline and drum groove.
please, DO publish more songs like this one!
