It is really not often I look at an album that is more than an hour long in runtime and think "Too short". In Veil Of Imagination's case, I wish it went forever and ever. Read more ›› |

A good album, technically really good, smart song writing, but, not very memorable to me. And I despise the cleans. Not something I will revisit anytime soon I figure.

After quite a few listens, I can now say that I love this album. I was very impressed with it the first time I heard it, but I somewhat dreaded the possiblity that it would end up being another Aquilus/Griseus case for me - incredibly awe-inspiring at first glance, but over-indulgent and almost over-written in hindsight. Not the case. This album doesn't overstay its welcome and the songwriting and production truly are superb. One of the my favorites from this year for sure.

Written by Kuroboshi on 08.12.2019 at 11:58 I was close to thumb this up. "A good album" -- yes, indeed. "technically really good" -- yes, it is. "but not very memorable to be" -- yes, that is the main problem here for me too "Not something I will revisit anytime soon I figure" -- equals my conclusion It is just that "smart song writing" I was hoping to find and waiting for until the album's end. Unfortunately I didnt find it here. I guess, had I found it, the album would certainly have some memorable moments for me. Some 6.7 for me.

First time I heard of this band and the album is so good it's stupid...by far the best one I heard this year. Went on a deep dive into their previous albums and unfortunately they're no where near as good. Massive departure from their folky earlier stuff and definitely a shift for the better.

Even though I don't like folk metal in general, I must say I prefer their previous albums (mostly the debut.) This album scratches neither the "I want to hear some fun folky tunes" or "I need more Opeth" itches. The previous albums, while not getting a lot of playtime nowadays, at least did the former.

If you ever wanted to know what would happen if Devin Townsend produced and Opeth album, this is it. Wilderun deserve all the praise they've received here. Spectacular record.

Far From Where Dreams Unfurl is just pure elation. It's the best song on the album and a prog masterpiece as far as I am concerned.

One year later, and I still listen to this album more than anything that's come out this year. Absolute masterpiece.
