A very good compilation

"I was already familiar with three of these bands before purchasing this album, so I was very excited to get the new single songs. The Cruxshadows do not dissapoint with Dream Yourself Awake. Very experimental and just plain fun to listen too. The Dreamside is just plain beautiful. Listening to them always makes me think of time spent in a forrest glade in the middle ages, with tiny fairy's flitting around and pollen in the air... Their new song Spin Moon Magic is even more than I had expected from them. It's the same good music as before, but darker, I haven't been able to get it out of my head for months. Paralyzed Age is alot of fun. If you haven't heard their single Bloodsucker from the Succubus Club cd you are very much missing out. It reminds me of every cheap horror flick ever made, but with an upbeat happy tune. ThouShaltNot has quickly risen to be one of my favorite bands. Absolutely amazing lyrics. It's dark, it's intellectual, it's got a good beat, it's everything good music should be! This is a must purchase for fans of any of these four bands, or anyone who wants to get a feel for what they can do before purchasing their albums."
