Typical Candlemass-greatness. The guitarwork is legendary (I love the aggressive, fuzzy guitar tone a lot!), and the rhytm section, especially the drums, sound lot better than in the previous albums - a small change, but it means a lot. (But Nightfall is still their unbeatable masterpiece.)

It's at this point in the Candlemass discography, after three albums beforehand consisting of delicious doom metal riffing and wonderfully operatic vocals, that things begin to fall into a bit of redundancy in the songwriting department. That being said, small changes made to the production here gives the guitars and drums a sharper bite, and the inclusion of more guitar solos and short, but effective breaks in the action give a bit more personality to make up for the aforementioned issue. Therefore, Tales Of Creation is a worthy addition to the Candlemass canon, with everything one has come to love about the band being on display in spades. Moments like the incredible soloing of "Into The Unfathomed Tower" and one of the greatest pieces they've written in closer "A Tale Of Creation", stand up on their own feet, even if this record is the worst out of their legendary first four albums.
