It's almost like they were supposed to create this style of music. I say that because they do it so incredibly well. This is a long way from their early Death Metal days, heck it's a long way from the doomy style of their previous five records. And while we still get some melancholy in their music it's like the light has chased away the darkness that dominated their sound. I swear that this might be the most emotional inducing album i own. I can't explain why, it just is. This was mixed by Steven Wilson and Dave Stewart helps with the string arrangements. There are a couple of tracks that standout from the rest as far as style goes, and that's the John Douglas composed "Get Off, Get Out" which almost brings the FOO FIGHTERS to mind. And "A Simple Mistake" that vocally brings the "Damnation" album by OPETH to mind. Still it's "Angels Walk Among Us" which is like a continuation of "One Last Goodbye" from "Judgement" that brings out so much emotion. Same with "Dreaming Light" but there are so many others as well. It feels weird giving this 5 stars on a Metal site but i can't give this one anything less. Less darkness but even more emotion.
