A huge change in sound and wonderful album. Zenk?s addition proves very influential as his neoclassical soloing and funky riffs are the basis of Sieges? new sound.

Probably Sieges Even's best album as well as their most influential release. The album bands like Protest the Hero have as their best-kept secret.

Good album, it's not their best, but you can hear how much the band change their sound. Pretty fun album that you want to hear more than once.

Easily Sieges Even's fastest album and most metallic album post-Steps. Sieges Even underwent
significant lineup changes between A Sense of Change and Sophisticated, which resulted in an
enormous change in the band's overall sound. New guitarist Wolfgang Zenk replaces the Rush-
influenced, mid-tempo soundscapes of his predecessor with a funky, sometimes angular, always
highly technical and high tempo style of his own, and the rest of the band accelerates to
keep up. Drummer Alex Holzwarth gives a busy, double bass-laden performance on this album,
while bassist Oliver Holzwarth either underscores or mirrors most of the guitar lines. Also
of note is the introduction of vocalist Greg Keller, who gives a more aggressive, theatrical
delivery than either the immediately preceding and following singers in SE's history.
