| Metal Hammer Germany | 4/7[1] |
| Rock Hard | 7.0 |
The album received mixed professional reviews. The German edition of Metal Hammer as well as Rock Hard wrote that the songs varied between melodic metal and kitsch. Metal Hammer's reviewer observed, however, that singer Sabine Edelsbacher could match the timbre of Tarja Turunen.[1][2] Also About.com compared Edelsbacher's singing to Nightwish but called the overall style of the album symphonic progressive metal.[3]

gollark: With SHA256 and such, you can very easily and rapidly just hash the block to make sure it checks out.
gollark: You also have the issue that the proof has to be verifiable fast.
gollark: (then someone made Ethereum ASICs anyway)
gollark: Don't the hashing-based ones use ASICs? I read somewhere that Ethereum required general purpose computing, so ASICs for it wouldn't really work.
gollark: Would TPUs even be very good for mining? Not sure what it's constrained by on regular GPUs.
