It's not overly original, and at points it drags a bit, but Vermin still makes for an overall great listen. The album is ravaged with powerful guitars, pounding drums, and strong, raspy vocals. Galder did an excellent job of writing and arranging the songs present, and in doing so proved that Old Man's Child is very much alive and well. The overall atmosphere is sinister and dark, and is created more through the use of the guitars and vocals than keyboards and string arrangements. A points on the album, the songs drag a bit and sound recycled, but they quickly rebound from their monotony and regrab your attention. All around the album is strong, and is more than worth a listen.
