This is certainly a good album, but it feels very disjointed. I'm all for pulling from different genres and blending them into a new mix, but it felt like Grayceon just pulled from different genres without actually thinking about how to blend them. There's death, prog, and folk elements all present in this album, but they all feel layered on top of each other without any thought as to how to combine them into a full-fledged mix. A great example of this is the last song, Dreamers, where you have a violin solo going over a completely different guitar riff, and almost nothing joining the two together. It's like they're playing two different songs. They almost had something here, but the disjointedness of it dropped it into the "listen once, and never again" pile.
