[edit] Miscellaneous

There is some remarkable similarity with the cover of this album and the cover of Symphony X's album V: The New Mythology Suite. The latter is also the fifth album of the respective band and was released later in the same year. Both bands perform progressive music (Symphony X performs progressive metal) and both are signed to InsideOut Music. Also, both albums are nearly as long (their lengths differ by 11 seconds). Both bands have said that these similarities are a complete coincidence.
