Diehard VBE/Virus fan here. But I agree with the reviewer, there's not much here that stands out. First track is absolutely superb, the rest is pretty formulaic! Uniquely Virus, true, but still formulaic according to their patented Virus formula. Even the "respite" in the middle of the album is the same as "The Black Flux"--a two-minute floating track #5 on a nine-track CD.

Borrowing a song title from their debut album Carheart, "It's all gone weird" here... It seems that the band hasn't progressed at all with respect to its past work, although this assessment heavily depends on the listener's subjective whereabouts. Band's unique/trademark sound is here, however a certain confusion is floating in the air, as to where the band was heading with the new material... This album somewhat feels closer to their debut Carheart than to the The Black Flux album, taking a significant distance from the latter. Still, it's a tough nut to crack, as it can be characterized as anything between average and great...

I think only Rhapsody of Fire played the same things in 143 albums. Virus did it in 3 albums so far. Totally dissapointing
