Very few of them have, and I knew Eternal would probably be no different. It's taken Mich lo Ger than usual for this one to grab me, but it finally has.
I think the album stands out or its production, which is often shat on by fans, but is actually extremely precise. Yes, it's kind of "big rock" sounding, but it's "big rock" done extremely well.

Maybe perfect is wrong word. Maybe mature is better. I think in Eternal SY put together almost all the elements they have had after BMR. And the production is that kind nothing really much attacking you. I like these kinds of serene albums that are not too adult rock. But of course I will ever say it is their greatest album, but maybe if somebody hasnīt ever heard SY and heīs got quite ordinary music taste, I will recommed Eternal to him.
