4 stars Indeed, to the hell with peace, embrace the violent chaos. As Dream Theater once said: "Systematic Chaos" (wait a minute, it was name of the album). Well, suddenly, my former rhetorical question rises again to prominence. Do you enjoy pain through suffering, or pleasure through suffering ? In first case, I'll redirect you to some Death Metal, but if you're the second case, let's keep track with your local generic vendor and seek, seek like a devil and find this album, grab it and run away (if you want to be dramatic, run without paying, but I can't recommend it, believe me, I've tried once).

So, this time we're far more experimental than before (and after), which somehow helps to stirr the waters, which would be sometimes better still (hello Robert Brown). And Rubankh reminding Anglagard's Hybris rough, wild and savage brother.

I say, why not, let it be insane album. And so it was, weirdness through back of your mind, fast forwarding sceneries of pure madness in contrast to short parts of calm oasis like Raff (I mean Raft, sorry, pun intended, otherwise, I would correct it).

Don't be fooled, this album does not give answer, only raises questions. But that's fine, because if you were able to get this album in 1995 (to be honest, I discovered it in 2009 ), you had a long time to think about it. Years to be correct. Were they worth ? They rather should be, as there's a lot of material to have thoughtful discussion, some mystical session with tea, smoking candles and so.

4(+) - prog for people who aren't easily aroused 4(-) - for other humans
