I love the big drum sound on this record--it really works with the riffs to create a nice groovy sound which is something you hardly ever get in black metal. The songwriting style is generally basic, though, so while a lot of this is fairly accessible melodic black metal, songs get repetitive fairly quickly. If you were to cut these songs down in length and remove maybe one repetition of the "chorus," I think they'd potentially be better.
