3 stars While I rated Choirs of the Eye a five star masterpiece, this one is a disappointment for the band's choice to explore moments of especially experimental metal. The dynamic contrasts are remarkable and often too stark for my tolerances. The softer, more atmospheric sections are rather hypnotic and even beautiful, though usually drawn out far beyond my interest level. I'm not a huge fan of the effect placed on the use of horns here, but Mia's violin work is as gorgeous as ever--maybe her best ever. There may be compositional elements of genius, but the resultant sound is just obtuse and, often, boring. As an album listening experience, it's just too long and drawn out to sit through in one sitting (which I like to do).

Best songs: "__on Limpid From" (18:00) (9/10) and "Immortelle And Paper Caravelle" (9:42) (8.5/10)
