| The album is a step in the right direction for me, however it could've been executed in a better manner. The decision for vintage instrumentation and arrangements was definitely something I was looking forward to, and there are many instances of it's brilliance shining. However I feel Mikael held back with his experimentation and as a result a lot of the time it feels like the foundations for a great album were set but not enough was constructed over those foundations. |

| This album is very moody, but not as much as I had anticipated and hoped for. The album has it's brooding moments but I had expected quite a bit more dissonance, tension and experimentation. I knew these 2 had it in them and so I wasn't surprised with the result. Expectations aside this is still a great record with terrific songwriting and great contributions from both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Akerfeldt, though I expected more vocal interplay between the 2. The production is good but I thought it could've been better, and the album could feel more "powerful" and "dark". There are many great moments on the record but I have to mention 2 which I enjoyed the most, the intro to Drag Ropes and the atmospheric section of Ljudet Innan, incredible, simplistic yet so impactful. THANK GOD they didn't make a prog metal album, we have plenty of those out there, the world needs more storm corrosion! |
