I honestly thought The Gathering were over. It had been so long since their last actual release that it felt like they had finally given up... but then came Beautiful Distortion. This album shares more with The West Pole than Disclosure. It's catchier and less experimental and quirky. It also shares a little bit with some of The Gathering's Anneke releases such as the gothy electronics of "Weightless" which would fit comfortably on Souvenirs or the alt doom of "We Rise" which sounds like something from How to Measure a Planet.
