It's definitely worth your money! If you like metal, techno, alternative, progressive, or just want something cool, I suggest you buy it. This album is wonderful, trippy, and very refreshing. Beautiful...but... I was waiting for it, and when I finally got it. It was very hard for me to get this album, since in my country, LoT is almost unknown. . . I was a bit disappointed. It is fantastic, really! It has everything I love Lake of Tears for. Great lyrics, music that actually has a mellody, Mr Brennare is singing, not growling. Again, LoT invited Ms. Jennie Tabler, she appears in 3 songs, which is a pleasant surprise. . . The problem is that seeing how Lake of Tears developed since 1993, I'd say, this is a step back, or, maybe, that it's not one, but two steps forward? This album is a bit too electronic for me, it has more "disco" drums in few songs, the lyrics are not as good as in previous albums. Actually, in my opinion, nothing will ever be as good as "Forever Autumn". Maybe this is why I expected something more. I truly recomend "The Neonai" to everybody, but be warned. Let's hope that LoT's 6th album (which will be ready this year, or so I've read on official LoT website) will be something better. Even better than "Forever Autumn".
