Esoteric are a lot of things, but aside from it's predecessor, Subconscious Disillusion Into The Continuum is the only incarnation of the band one could call "concise", and that's only in relativity to their other records. Still, all of the best things about the band and something they'd rarely done before are found here, all in about fifty minutes. The oppressive, psychedelic style of funeral doom they employ is still very much alive as opener "Morphia" will show you, but never before had the band sounded as out-and-out melancholy as they do on "The Blood Of The Eyes", which stands as one of the best tracks the band has made to date. Closer "Arcane Disillusion" is somewhat of a dud to end the Album on, but by itself it's a decent ambient track. Had they made the closer "Grey Day", an absolute behemoth of a track with an amazingly ghastly vocal performance to enhance the crushing atmosphere, and made "Arcane Disillusion" the penultimate track, it would've flowed better and ended better. Excellent record indeed, but tracklisting is important, my friends. Remember that.

The first Esoteric album with good production. This one feels like a bit of a warm up for the masterpiece that follows it, 'The Maniacal Vale', which almost renders this album obsolete. 'Blood of the Eyes' is a pretty fantastic track, however, and Morphia reaches a terrifying climax.
