Best Yet
(Actually 4 1/2 Stars)

PM's best yet. Better than Celestial Entrance in every way (songs, melodies, harmonies, guitar), and IMO, that's saying alot. The only way PM could get better is if they wrote lyrics that weren't pure cheese, but hey, I'm not complaining.

A must for those that love prog rock. Period.
Trying to find something to quench my thirst for new and inventive prog rock the likes of Dream Theater, I decided to give this album a spin. The benchmark for album greatness is how long it stays in the car (no CD-changer). This album is unbelievably good. The vocals are just phenomenal not only lead but harmonics as well. I am a drummer and praise the handy work of all of the musicians. This album is not an example of "the fastest, the hardest, the longest" but is a series of very well-thought out songs painting a bigger picture throughout. I really hope that you enjoy it as much as I have. It is five weeks and it is not leaving my car just yet.

Knocks Me Out!
I got into Progressive Metal about two years ago with Dream Theater's Train of Thought. Ever since, I have been trying to find bands that provide the same thrill. With determination, I found two: Symphony X and Vanden Plas. Now, I have found the fourth band to entering this lofty distinction in my CD collection: Pagan's Mind. With Enigmatic: Calling, Pagan's Mind blends almost non-stop energy with excellent musicianship. The CD starts off strong with The Celestine Prophecy with a repeated sequence of seven crunching cords. The CD then transcends to the stratosphere with Enigmatic Mission, Supremacy Our Kind and Entrance to Infinity, a three-song back-to-back tour de force. Enigmatic Mission has a roaring riff with very unique vocals soaring over the top from Nils Rue, who a times reminds me of Ian Gillan and at other times sounds like Graham Bonnet. The song includes a very flashy guitar solo from Jorn Viggo Lofstad, who for me is the star of this star studded CD. In style, Jorn reminds me of the best of a hybrid Petrucci/Van Halen. Supremacy Our Kind may be the most progressive song with several changes in tempo and heaviness. Entrance to Infinity probably has the most addictive vocal melody. The lyrics are interesting throughout, all based on alien and cosmic imagery. Stian Kristoffersen is a maniac drummer - listen to the end of Taken. Steinar Krokmo lays down an exellent foundation with the six string bass, and Ronny Tegner provides plenty of texture with the keyboards, not to mention several exceptional solos.

With heavy sophisticated riffs, complex arrangements, stunning solos and inhuman vocals, Enigmatic: Calling is a feast for Progressive Metal fans and is in my opinion the best release of the year!
