Not quite the follow-up to Caledonia we were promised, this one still has enough of the Celtic influence to warrant a better record than the likes of Command to Charge, but there still feels like much is missing from band with a lot of potential. Perhaps it's that other bands have come to try the Celtic-influence thing (see Eluveitie) and are doing it better. For whatever reason, I found this one ultimately disappointing, though not a bad album. It's just that the regression this band already experienced, only to reclaim their glory with an album then throw it back away is somewhat tragic. There still seems to be a few records left in these guys, and hopefully before they're through they'll return to form. (Rating: 3.2/5)
