The keyboard intro/outro gets you hooked. The title track in particular shows the mastery that these five men bring to the craft of an album. It reflects more mature composition and is a musicians’ album. Where “ Timeless Departure” had many fast aggressive moments, “ Mind Revolution” is much more calculated and articulated. It is a much more mature and articulated album. The new album does show off the classical training the band. They combine influences from such a wide variety of sources as Dream Theater, Entombed, and Cradle of Filth to name a few. Comparisons have been made between Skyfire and Children of Bodom but honestly, I think that the two Skyfire albums are far superior to anything that Children of Bodom have done recently. This album takes the sound in a more progressive direction. The first album had a folky feel to some songs. Skyfire has changed their direction somewhat. It took longer than expected (since some of the men of Skyfire are university students in Sweden) but the wait was worthwhile. With that, I was eagerly awaiting their new album. Once I got it, I must have listened to it for a month straight. It took some searching but thanks to the holy mecca of music stores (Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ), I found the disc. I clicked the link and saw the listing for their debut album “ Timeless Departure.” It had some sound clips that instantly hooked me ( Rhapsody sounds nothing like Skyfire so I don’t know who associated these two bands). The only other related artist was Skyfire. I first heard of Skyfire from CDNow (before it was assimilated by Borgazon) by looking up Rhapsody and clicking on related artists.
