"I am a big big dream theater fan, own all their albums and am also a huge progressive metal fan. I like exploring various prog bands (circus maximus, vanden plas) as well as other genres. Fortunately Dominici caught my eye. After hearing his trilogy part 02 I was not too impressed, So I was skeptical to try this album. Let's just say, the first track was such a tour de force I was left with my mouth hanging open. This is so fresh, so unique, and so energetic. The best way to describe it is packing the energy of DT's systematic chaos, with the elegance and style of symphony X, but a sound that is very unique and NEW! A problem most prog metal bands face like Pagan's mind is that they sound too alike and don't bring anything new to table. This was also the problem with Dominici's second album. Don't get me wrong, I liked it but it was borrowing too much from others. In trilogy part 3 Dominici and his band really establish their sound that leaves the listener with a yearning for more. I urge any fan of prog-metal who's considering buying this album to do so immediately. You won't be disappointed."
Epic dark end to a great trilogy!

"This is the 3rd and final part of the "03 Trilogy"
Best way to describe it is epic and Heavy. Its much more heavy than part 2, but it works out well. This final installment is very dark, and the heavy mood is very fitting. Its also very Progressive, and it has some great playing on it. Great guitar and keyboard playing! The bass and drums are also very strong, the drums are amazing. The drummer reminds me ALLOT of Mike Portnoy. musically this album is very Dream Theater influenced. Dominici (former dream theater vocalist) also puts on a great proformance. I never liked him much, but he greatly improved on this album.
so what we got here is a very strong progressive metal album. from start to finish it is great. not one bad song on here. defidently give it a listen. one of the best albums this year.
if you like dream theater, symphony x, and pagan's mind type bands this is for you!

"Dream Theater better start hitting the treadmill and drop some of the added fat they've been putting on because Charlie just blew them away.. This is the first album I got so i haven't heard the other ones yet but music, vocals, arrangement and production are TOP NOTCH..
It's really refreshing to hear his style of voice again and I really enjoy how it's wrapped into this magnificent molten melodic masterpiece.
If your looking for something different from the same DT stuff then pick this up, crank it up! it blew me away!
Now I got to get the other 2 in this trilogy!"
