The more I listen to this album, the more I realise that I am wholly undecided as to what I think
about this album. Whilst on the one hand, it is musically a complex album with amazingly
simple lyrics surrounding the subjects of isolation and depression, the repetitive nature of the
music and the fact that there is not a moment where we are allowed to breathe, to come up for
air, within this "thick" heavy album lead me to almost become bored (and certainly tired) by the
third track.That said, the intensity of the growled lyrics and repetitive heavy guitar coupled with a healthy dose of percussion are mesmerising. Each track of this album can hold your attention. Lyrically and musically the album clearly fits together. Starting from the relatively light, mournful opening guitar and lyrics of "Crestfallen", the opening track on the album, the music and the words tell a story of ever-increasing depression. Perhaps this explains the unrelenting heavy guitar riffs that we hear ? certainly Anathema has done a good job in representing the unrelenting "fog" off depression.
