Can't wait for this to come in the mail. The review got me pretty excited.

What do you think of the instrumental track (I think it's "Silence")? Another reviewer said it was one of the best tracks.

Agreed with the review and score, not much I can add really. Its a solid album, perhaps the weakest of their works, but subpar Decapitated is still higher quality than most DM.

Great review!!! I have had some good time with this album and I pretty much agree with the review. I might have given it a slightly higher number, but it is in my nature to really try to understand and enjoy bands that I have a deep respect for. This band has been through a lot. I agree that it sounds like a continuation of the direction they had on Organic Hallucinations. I was hoping for a little more old school, I'll admit that, but I say that because I felt Decapitated's old school was a breath of fresh air for death metal at the time. The stops and starts with good space created for kick drum rolls and blasts, and the engaging melody lines. Anyway, this is a evolution of the band and I found I really enjoy it. It's more progressive and experimental. When you start off being a top notch Death Metal band as young as they did, you probably need some space to grow your sound and ideas a little bit. It's has some really open ambient type stuff on the title track, but mostly this is a very groovy album with some soundscaping elements and should make any metal fan very happy.

I would give 7 points plus to the score i've been listening to this frequently and it is still an excelent listen. Not their best effort but really close to that
