This PT opus is certainly not their greatest work, but it's still delightful.

Great mood all along, but lacking consistency IMO. This album is between the rock side and the psychedelic side of PT, staying closer to the Deadwing mood than the older days albums.

I personnaly prefer the EP Nil Recurring which has many of FOABP's riffs, put in a different and simpler way. FOABP tends toward a pop sound, with a spacy wrapping.

The best feature in this album would be the excellent drumming which gives this album a great groove and a lot of rythmic originality, with some Opeth likelessness.

I'd say 3.5 stars in comparison to their past albums.
