A fine album from a fine band. They're particular brand of progressive black metal does little for me. It's not blackened enough. The several passages where they drop all the prog flourishes and orchestration you can hear some quality black metal.
Am I saying Borknagar should be less ambitious with their sound, and fundamentally change the direction they've been moving in since, I don't know, let's say The Olden Domain? Of course not. I can see why people are making such a fuss about this album. It's apparently just not my thing.
