Due to its slow start, this album has always had a hard time drawing me in. Fortunately, it picks up, starting with Leave No Trace, which would not have been out of place on Judgement in terms of atmosphere, sound and quality alike. The rest is mostly good while not being amazing - with one exception: Temporary Peace, an indescribably touching closer that remains a contender for my favorite song ever, if only it wasn't for the 10 minutes of hidden track garbage tacked onto it. - 7.5

The last great album of Anathema imo. Much softer than the previous ones but still full of bitter lyrics and guitar culminations that have meaning and add in the moody essence of the album. After that, and especially in "We're here...", "Weather systems" and "Distant Satellites", Anathema wrote music as if they had hangover after great consumption of Alternative 4 and Judgement inspiration. Partially flat with "aetherial" simplistic love lyrics, partially interesting, just interesting, nothing more.

THe release is AMAZING song and one of their best songs ever. THe solos are superb and the guitars rock . THe other songs are below average. But you must listen the song 'release'.

There are some effective songs ("Pressure," "Underworld," the title track), but overall A Fine Day to Exit is too uneventful to leave significant impact. By the way, what is up with the last ten minutes of "Temporary Peace?" It's like the band took too much acid one day in the studio.

This is probably my favourite Anathema release of their 'darker' days, even more than the critical acclaimed 'A Natural Disaster'. The gloomy yet poppy mood of this disc is unrepeated in their discography and truly stands out.

Though this record has excellent moments and ideas, after hearing it all I just feel like there's something missing. It is in my opinion a transitional album, and a glimpse of what was about to come in terms of musical direction for this great band. That being said it is an excellent album with a very bleak atmosphere

The shift in style and genre forged by Anathema over the years may be unwelcome in some quarters, but unless you mourn simply for 'what might have been', it is difficult not to acknowledge that they are still producing very good music, albeit in a slightly different style. This album is solid meat and potatoes alt rock, and is enjoyable throughout.
