There's great stuff here, but it's a bloated mess of an album. Some tracks are downright bad.. and they're all condensed on the second half.

Del tema 12 hasta el final sobran, El resto de temas me gustan bastante, sobre todo las covers y In Remembrance y Black Fairy.

výborné album. Nie je to výberovka, ale album zložené z coverov, upravených starších pesničiek a hlavne soundtracku k filmu
