author: Independent Distribution Network, Summer 1998
Musically, Point Of Ares center on a progressive rock style with an added essence reminiscent of a dark, almost gothic style. Vocalist Karen Michalson doesn't so much sing as she does chant and it works superbly for their style of light, melodic prog rock. Spoken word and chants fit in beautifully under the storytelling guise of the music. With excellent guitar riffs trailing throughout the CD, guitarist Bill Michalson brings a touch of heaviness and a dark edge to the music. . . . While not quite heavy and not quite light, Point Of Ares manage to write songs in that progressive rock style which easily glides from song to song in a sleek and professional way. . . . Point Of Ares [is] well on their way to carving a name for themselves in the halls of concept rock

With a progressive and cutting dark-rock, where the lyrics are based on strange stories, Point Of Ares is a North American band with great impact, at the other side of the Atlantic. . . .The band's lyrics travel through an obscure and progressive rock, with themes that are hallucinating for the imagination. It is about dark fantasy and dangerous dreams. . . . The work mixes musical fantasy with the creations of the fantastic profiled by Karen Michalson. . . .In Enemy Glory, one can find structured themes and guitars that exploit progressive rock, while at the same time maintaining the energizing tones of the rock of the 90s. . . . the most obscure and powerful face of progressive rock. - (translated from the Portuguese by Nina Tjoa)

Four stars. . . . Brazen music backs up authoritative vocals for a truly memorable listening experience. The lyrics are fresh and poignant, rendered in a tone of driving urgency. In contrast, the several spoken-word tracks are soft, clear, and possessed of devastating imagery. . . . outstanding . . . with maximum interest for fans of fantasy literature and/or rock music. Most highly recommended.
