Such a fun track. It's like a crazy and drug-filled heavy metal fest with black metal vocals and synth on top. Lovely.
The chorus is so catchy goddamit.

Ugh I own the remastered version and for some unknown reason they thought it would be a good Idea to take the lead guitar out of that song along with the 2 solos! The original is just so much better! Grr

"What the fuck" basically describes all of Sigh's music properly

do not spoil the rest of their discography for me, although I personally don't expect ordinary music from sigh after that I've heard this album.

Great album. I don't know, if it can be considered their most experimental one, as all of them starting with Hail Horror Hail are quite experimental, but still I enjoy a lot their mix of space rock, metal and whatnot.

Been meaning to listen to this one forever and kept putting it off. What a spectacularly chill, creative, excellent album. I think I am still more drawn to the speed and highs/lows of their newer stuff, but I definitely see why this is such a classic.

China was a neat
Wow having gone through their full disco now, this is without doubt their magnum opus. I had second thoughts about this after Hangman's Hymn and Scenes From Hell. But God!, this is just flawless, not a single false note here. This album is near perfect. Sigh will never probably top this.

This is one of the weirdest psychedelic metal albums I have ever heard, but in all the best possible ways.

What can I say, this is just perfect. There's heavy metal, rock'nroll, black metal, glitch hop, jazz fusion, synth, old-fashioned classical music, symphonic touches... I believe there's some videogame soundtrack inspiration in some tracks. And it works. Many bands try to accomplish what Sight achieves here with no effort, originality without going unnecessarily complex, innovation without weird structures, just throwing awesome songs at your face.

'A Sunset Song' sounds like romantic black metal if such a thing were to ever exist! A great album overall.

8.8/10 for me - 'Corpsecry - Angelfall' is the standout song. 'Scarlet Dream', 'A Sunset Song' and 'Ecstatic Transformation' are all also great.
