I for one am a big fan of ANATHEMA's new style but i must admit i wasn't sure what to expect when they announced they were completely re-arrangeing and re-recording tracks from their early Death-Metal days. They took tracks from their first two studio albums and first two EPs and did a complete makeover in their new style. So lots of emotion and melancholy and even an appearance from Anneke formerly from THE GATHERING on a song called "Everwake". Listening to this is like a dream for me with my favourite female singer singing in one of my favourite bands. "Sunset Of Age" is probably my favourite though with the prominant guitar later on and the beautiful beginning. Dave Stewart again arranged the orchestral bits on this record. I think in trying to describe the difference between this album and "We're Here Because We're Here" i'd say that this album puts the focus on the melancholy while the latter i would describe as majestic.
