Turns out it's not easy to come up with an apt description for the new Arena album. I've spent quite some time searching for a phrase that would round up my ongoing journey with The Unquiet Sky. Until recently I could only think of something being off about this one. Now, finally, I've concluded that unremarkable grower sums it up best. That, and that something is decidedly off about it.

The biggest flaw with this record is the sound, it's feels muddled and dry. The songs themself is still Arena doing their thing and they seem to able to deliver album after album. Where the album excels is in the ballads, How Did it Come to This?, Unexpected Dawn and the title track are all among the best songs on here. Ending Traveller Beware is once again a great grand finale track.

Big shoutout to John Mitchell.. even the "weaker" songs here often gets saved by a great guitar solo.

I haven't listened to this album in a very long time. They've never released a bad album, although some albums are more interesting than others obviously.
Looking forward to your list.

I agree, not a bad album in sight, one of the best discographies I've went through
