3.5 greatTheWatchman71 | June 16th 22

Could have been amazing, but the balance of drone/atmospherics just toppled the wrong side for me and found it dragging too often but there were times when it really hit. Disc 1 is a 4 and disc 2 is a 3, there just isn?t the pay off to reward your patience on that 1 track second disc.

4.5 superbgsboomie | May 12th 19

Might have to write a full review on this at some point seeing as there isn't one up. I love this album, I am partial to post metal, but this is pretty much what I enjoy about the genre. It is atmospheric to the max, and the vocals work great for it. I have always been a little disheartened that Dirge never got as much attention as other post metal bands, and while this album definitely isn't the best introduction to the band, it is arguably my favorite album by them. The only downside is that it is two hours long, every single track is interesting (even the short filler tracks) but when played all together, two hours is a little much for most people to sit through including myself at times.

3.5 greatBedex | April 24th 19

This album was a bold, bold choice. Doing a 2hrs album without being Swans is quite a bet. The first couple tracks are fantastic post-metal and are well worth a listen. However the record loses its focus over time, delving into prolonged noisy experimental-ish ambient tracks that don't have much to offer, and with the exception of a great album closer, the latter two thirds of the album are quite boring for a very, very long time. Still an ok listen overall, but that does not make me want to check out their other albums. 3.3
