I agree with my predecessor here completely. The album is typical of Arcturus "by Black Metal" stage, but it affects the whole somehow a bit "incoherent". Clear, Arcturus had never simple fare, but here is not really much in mind. What I, however, the aural impression duly vermießt and it also the flaw described above might be, is the indistinct, undifferentiated and slurred sound. Here simply lost too much. Musically certainly at the highest level, but what good is a the can if you do not hear it and capture. Here more definitely would have been possible. Not even under the headphones, the sound can unfold. That's why, unfortunately, only 3 stars for an album that much more could be simple. Too Bad.
