Album Rating: 3.5
A really consistent solid album if lacking in any magic. A bit style over substance I find. Heavy on the atmosphere accentuated by the one paced percussion through the entire album which brings a sense of cohesion but also results in a certain homogeneity and all songs bleeding into each other. Lack of variety in percussion is a real obvious point for me when I put this album on, and in general all of the songs could be parts of one suite they are that similar in sound, pace and tone. In spite of all this I do enjoy the album. But cast against their back catalogue it doesn’t come close.
