I also like the wider scope in sound presented here, though I’m not getting that stadium (Muse-like?) feeling here, it’s more out in the open, I think. Along with the artwork and the worldmusic elements I’m actually getting a strange Avatar vibe here. %-) The dramaturgy is probably not all that bad, if it wasn’t for the third track that’s really kinda pointless. I do love the opener, though (also hope there’s gonna be more of that), and the closer is kinda nice, too. 8/10
Review next: The Devil’s Blood, Antediluvian and… guess what? Solstafiiiiiir
