Mixed feeling about this. For some parts, it is great but then comes some forgettable sections. Could be a lot better if it was shorter.

Even shorter? It is only 43 minutes long.

yes. As I said, I love some sections but some others are just fillers for me. Cutting some 10 minutes would be fine.

This is a great album. Not one I listen to very often admittedly, but still great.

Indeed it is. Swanö and Anders Nyström's creativity flow well here.

Actually I'm loving this more than before. Few more spins work perfectly. It has a sinister, yet fun vibe going on.

'Setting The Course' is one of my favourite parts. The occasional touches of melody on this album give me goosebumps everytime.

Shouldn't this have a symphonic genre tag too?

Indeed. This and the rest of their discography too.

Well spotted, but please use this thread in future to report incorrect or incomplete genres.
