Análisis (en inglés) - :
Like so many {\Scandinavian metal} bands of the '90s and 2000s, {$Theatre of Tragedy} have had their share of personnel changes, and along the way, different lineups have offered different interpretations of {$Dream Theater}'s sound. On {^Storm}, newcomer {$Nell Sigland} (formerly of {$the Crest}) replaces {$Liv Kristine Espenaes} as {$Theatre}'s female lead vocalist; some longtime fans will wonder if there can be life after {$Espenaes} for the Norwegian outfit, and the answer is a definite yes. {$Sigland} sounds a lot like her predecessor, favoring an angelic, sweetly ethereal approach, and she proves herself to be a valuable addition to {$Theatre} on an {\industrial}-tinged {\goth metal}/{\goth rock} disc that is aggressive and rocking but never flat-out brutal. {$Theatre} still goes for the female singer/male singer juxtaposition, but {$Raymond Rohonyi} (the male lead singer) doesn't embrace an extreme vocal style; instead of a {\death metal} growl, a {\black metal} rasp or tortured metalcore screaming, what we get from {$Rohonyi} is merely a mainstream vocal style with a slightly ominous edge. In fact, those who are hoping for any harsh, blistering, cave-your-skull-in antics on {^Storm} will be disappointed; nothing really extreme or punishing occurs. What {$Theatre} does offer is a highly melodic, very musical and listenable {\goth} album with a strong sense of craftsmanship; {\goth} enthusiasts will find a great deal to admire about {^Storm} even if they aren't big {\metal} fans. Along the way, {$Theatre of Tragedy} have had their creative ups and downs (more ups than downs). The appealing {^Storm} is one of their more consistent efforts and is a welcome addition to their catalog even though it isn't the sledgehammer assault that some headbangers were no doubt hoping for. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
