Rating:
9.0
Shovel parting earth and an unnerving scream signal an imminently approaching force. A force to be reckoned with it is one which mouths to you your own doubts and brings you to question your own sanity. The listener will find themselves in a position from which they cannot move, fastened tight within a straight-jacket of exceptionally resilient musical compositions.

Rating: 8 OH my god this album is luscious.

Agreed with the consensus: it's even better than the glorious After. Take everything you loved from After and make it more streamlined, more focused, more beautiful, and more mature. End result is THIS ALBUM.

Rating: 7 Pretty good, little off put by the sax, sometimes it just doesn't fit.

  I haven't listened to any of Ihsahn's solo stuff since Angl, but now my curiosity is piqued.

Also, I wonder if Ihsahn and his wife call themselves by their respective nicknames around the house hahahahah

"IHSAHN COME CLEAN THIS SHIT UP!"
"SHUT UP WOMAN I'M DOING MUSIC!"
