Hey, I'm hijacking your topic to say just about the same as you. I'm relatively new to Prototype (I came across Continuum totally by chance about 3 years ago when I bought a few random CDs to avoid the bad feeling you get when you pay more in shipping costs than in goods), and since then I've been waiting for the new stuff.
The new album is just brilliant. I was dubious when I heard the title track on soundcloud this summer, but I bought my copy of the whole album in hope I would still find something interesting. I think this has to be taken as a whole, I mean the album builds a strong atmosphere and you can't extract one single track and expect it to be representative of the whole work. The songwriting is really top notch, sometimes intricate but always constructive. I like it a lot, I especially like the songs are connected and the album is of one piece.
I hope you'll be able to tour Europe so I can get a chance to see you live.
Cheers from France!
