Having said all of that, the real treat here is that even amid all of the nifty little tricks and twists thrown in this is still a collection of actual songs. Even the lengthy excursion into apocalyptic subjects “Revelation To The End” has a very symmetrical feel to it, almost to the point of resembling a straight up atmospheric rocker, and heavily reminds of the unforgettable beast that was “Through Osiris’ Eyes”. The bulk of this album is littered with deliberately limited and celebratory anthems, particularly underscored by the likes of “Eyes Of Fire”, “Intermission” and “Power Of Mindscape”, all of which could easily pass for radio yet fail to inspire even the slightest bit of boredom. “Walk Away In Silence” goes so far as to outright channel the sound of late 80s Queensryche and presents something that could have easily shared time with “Spreading The Disease” and “Breaking The Silence” on the famed “Operation Mindcrime” album. Naysayers might say nay, but no one interested in enjoying a good album should waste their time even contemplating the existence of such people, let be allowed to be convinced that Pagan’s Mind’s best days are behind them.
