Anathema, hailing from Liverpool, England started its career within the burgeoning Doom Metal scene of the early 1990's where loud, screaming vocals, big guitars and a crunching, dirge-like advance was the recipe of the day. But there was something different about this band, something that could be seen from the onset, taking shape on releases The Silent Enigma and Eternity but not fully realized until their 1998 release Alternative 4.

I don't have any problem with it sounding a bit like Porcupine Tree 'cause I love that band. Besides what Anathema offers us on this album is not as much progressive as atmospheric rock. Probably this is the album for a certain kind of mood, but it seems I never was into that kind of mood.  That's why I find it more boring than any album they released before or after that.

Obviously more light-hearted and softer than their previous albums, but that doesn't necessarily mean the quality or the atmosphere is lacking on this album. The only thing I dislike about this album is the clean vocals which are a little weak in my opinion, and whenever possible, the female vocals seem to outdo them. That said, the instrumentation is arranged in such a way that each song flows as beautifully as the next, even if closer 'Temporary peace' is a little too long for its own good.
