ANATHEMA continue in the same style as their "We're Here Because We're Here" record but the emotion of that particular album is scaled way back here. This is still a good record but they are really close to slipping down a slope in my opinion. It will be interesting to hear how the next one sounds. I did find this one to be a grower. Dave Stewart is back arranging the string sections and Jamie Cavanagh plays bass on one track. "Internal Landscapes" is interesting with this guy talking about his near death experience. Lots of atmosphere and emotion later in this one. This is probably closer to 4 stars but on a Metal site 3.5 stars seems appropriate.

Just don't ask Karl for his opinion on this one LOL. I gave it 4 stars on PA but it just hasn't clicked like We're Here Because We're Here. It sure has it's moments though.

I´m pretty happy about this one. A bit to my own surprise as I seldom enjoy uplifting music. Sure it´s melancholic too but there is a "light" feeling about the whole thing.

I'm still not sure where I stand with this one. I can feel that it has the stuff to be a classic album but whatever's there hasn't clicked with me yet.
