I'm very disappointed by this. The first album is a chilling, intimate release packed
with thoughtful dynamics and ear catching melody. It had tracks full
of quiet, intimate, interesting melodies and harmonies from multiple guitars. And the
way parts blended into each other was superb. Strumming was only used in like 3-4 spots
on the album and for emphasis. It's so good I will definitely still be putting it on
from time to time for the rest of my life. With this album I'm finding very little to
hold on to. It sounds like glorified instrumental folk rock. Long periods of strumming
with not much in the way of melody, and when there is melody it is usually the simplest
of the simple: walking steadily through scale degrees. There are some brief moments of
brilliance spread about but not much sustained. So yea this is a very different album
from the first. I appreciate some of new instrumentation that comes in from time to
time but I'm having a hard time having this keep my attention. I'll give this a few
more spins past my 5, but as of now The Trial may be the only song I would add to an
Ulvesang playlist.

Definitely features some nice guitarwork but overall I feel that it lacks a certain focus and atmosphere that I am looking from my neofolk.
