| Honestly, this CD gets better after every listen. Everyday I have a new favorite song and it's just really fun and interesting to listen to. One of my favorite heavy releases this year for sure. |

| A very good sequel. The song writing has improved and I really enjoy that they have incorporated the synth prog stuff and crazy cool jazz sections in a cohesive fashion. I'm nota big BTBAM fan but I do like Colors and I think this is even better than Colors. But, I agree with the DO NOT TRUST guy above (ha!), that even though I think this album is superb, will I come back to it much? I'm not sure. rIt's a once a year, put it on to appreciate the prog metal meets Jazs stuff like you put on a good movie sometimes but that's it. BTBAM does not hit me emotionally. |

| After 5 or so streams, I am beginning to really dig this. r"Mausoleal Drift" is the stand out track. The closing track could have really bumped this up to a 4.5 but it did not. rI definitely don't feel that it is too short, as someone above said; if it were too be longer they would need more doomy parts, imo, or more acoustic interlude sections. This ALMOST gets too same-y repetitive because of how much they rely on tremolo picking but I do think, overall, this is excellent. And if there is one guitar sound I like the most right now, it's tremolo picking, so I am happy to hear it constantly. rMy fav black metal from this year, however, is still Fauth - II. It just makes me FEEL more, and the production is top-notch. |
