My least favourite of Ahab's four albums released to date. My main problem with it is that the production seems to have robbed the "heavy" sections of any of that suffocating weight that the earlier albums displayed. There is also a much greater presence of gentle post-metal passages with sorrowful clean vocals as the band move further away from their out and out funeral doom beginnings. This isn't to say that this is a bad album, but it has to be viewed as an evolutionary step between the first two and Boats of The Glen Carrig, which is similar in style, but has a greater contrast between the lighter and heavier sections, being a much more successful composition as a result.
