Reception
The album received mixed reviews. Metalstorm.net gives the album a 7 out of 10, stating: "They really push the line here between symphonic metal and straight up heavy metal, the riffs and rhythms are really paramount. High-energy rockers plus some slightly cheesy ballads make for a really nice flow here. It's a classic formula with fun, catchy melodies."[1] Metal-temple.com gives the album an 8 out of 10, stating: ""Ethera" finds Visions Of Atlantis at their best. What began on their last record has been solidified and perfected here. Front to back this is the best release of their career".[2] metaldivas.wordpress.com gives it 6.5 poibnts out of 10, stating: " In overall, an interesting and pleasant album with some great moments and good vocal lines but somehow it misses it’s target having little to no variety".[3]
