	This is one album that Edge/Creed-era Chrome fans seems to hate with fervour. However, Eternity contains three incredible pieces of twisted psychedelic pop. Again, Damon takes the Chrome sound to a cleaner stage: powerful Simmonds electric drums, clean tone guitars, deep basses and DX7 synthesizers. It's more polished but it's still bizarre: the songs are incredibly long (sixteen minutes in the case of the title track) and sometimes the vocals seems pretty dissonnant (thanks to pitch-shifting effects). The concept can recalls The Chronicles project, in terms of repeting the same musical pattern over and over with subtle changes and additions. On the other hand, Eternity don't age gracefully as the timeless music of The Chronicles, it sounds precisely mid-eighties. Makes me think of Miami Vice on acid... specially when on a teutonic beat Damon sings with an alien voice about "tight skirts"... Ask me no questions.
