Some say that this album is overly similar to Manen'jushaka ~ Nada Upasana Pundarika, but realistically, Man'enjushaka is much more progressive and laid-back while ZAUBERER is more hard edged and extreme in terms of style. Although the tracks themselves may not be quite as fulfilling, the production has definitely undergone an improvement. The track list is still plenty catchy and the arrangement is top-notch as always, as expected of Demetori.

Demetori made huge waves in the Touhou metal community when they announced their latest album. Many of the "classic" groups in the genre have adopted vocals or otherwise lost the magic touch which made them special; Demetori has never had a bad release so far, which made anticipation for this extreme. Sure enough, Demetori gives the Touhou metal community the instrumental breath of life it needs to survive. I wouldn't say the album is as good as Nada Upasanda Pundarika, but it's much better than what most of the metal groups are putting out now. The main issue is that the melody does not stand out as much as in the previous albums. I would say it's more balanced, but their previous albums were enjoyable because of the very strong melodies. The new tracks just aren't as memorable (though that might just be because I haven't listened to this album as many times). Most of the metal is presented straight up, sort of combining the extra distortion of Nada Upasana Pundarika with the songwriting of Il Mondo Dove e Finito Il Tempo. Demetori's technique remains unmatchable, and production values are still crystalline. Demetori hovers in place instead of pushing their boundaries even further, but they stand so high already that this is still a very solid metal album.
