Enforcer's previous album was their magnum opus, so I was expecting the follow up to land on lower ground. Indeed, From Beyond is differentiated with respect to its predecessor both in terms of style and lasting experience, but not by a large margin. The tempo has been lowered, the riffs and melodies became more subtle, while there's this impression (in the second half of the album) that the band is merely jamming on some sparse ideas to test their merit regarding their incorporation into proper songs. While that can be bad for most bands and albums, it doesn't pose adverse effects on Enforcer's new effort, on the contrary, it grants a welcome sense of spontaneity.
