4 stars Judgment confirms the evolution of a more experimental and alternative Anathema, with a less depressive and obscure approach than the previous Alternative 4. Indeed, just as melancholic and forceful.

The dense atmospheres and the perfume of sadness that permeates the album is, in turn, what gives it insurmountable value, where the heartfelt and moving One Last Goodbye stands out, a tribute by the Cavanaghs to their deceased mother prior to the recording process from the album and one of the best songs from his discography.

Undeniably the influence of Pink Floyd again in the introduction of the heartbreaking Emotional Winter (hello "Shine on you ..."), the excellent Wings of God, and her guitar solo, and on the other hand, the deep and intense Anyone, Anywhere, with a certain air to the song Private Investigations by Dire Straits, from the best of the album.

Judgment is one of the capital works of the Liverpool band, a sample of the maturity and musical splendor they had reached and consolidates them as an important post-metal reference.
