Reception

The album received generally positive reviews. Metalstorm.net gave the album a 7 out of 10, stating: "They really push the line here between symphonic metal and straight up heavy metal, the riffs and rhythms are really paramount. High-energy rockers plus some slightly cheesy ballads make for a really nice flow here. It's a classic formula with fun, catchy melodies."[1] Metal-Temple.com gave the album an 8 out of 10, stating: "'Ethera' finds Visions Of Atlantis at their best. What began on their last record has been solidified and perfected here. Front to back this is the best release of their career".[2] metaldivas.wordpress.com gave it 6.5 points out of 10, stating: " In overall, an interesting and pleasant album with some great moments and good vocal lines but somehow it misses its target having little to no variety".[3]
