Bands can sometimes make painful sounds akin to nails on a black board when transitioning between styles. Especially if the band members aren't sure in which direction they want to go. However, for The Gathering, they make it seem as easy as breathing with their seamless transition and seemingly effortless excursion into some pretty experimental territory on "How To Measure a Planet?". It isn't such a far fetched idea that all the members of the Gathering have been blessed with ESP since an album of this magnitude must've taken perfect chemistry between all members to make.

This album is kinda funny for me... I started out rating it as a six and though it was my least favorite The Gathering album. I Suppose I hadn't listened enough to it as during the last few months I have gradually improved the rating which is now a 10 for me. It's just a masterpiece! Heavy yet soothing and melodic. There are just some parts of this album I just can sit and listen to over and over again, like the second part of "Probably Build In The Fifties" or the title track's awesome riff, not to mention "Travel", one of the greatest masterpieces I've ever heard. The Gathering is successfully experimenting and creating a unnameable genre. It's the perfect middle station in between the heavier sound of Nighttime Birds and Mandylion and their later softer style.

Never have I been so enchanted by an album of 'How to measure a Planet?'s grandiose quality. It is, truly and honestly for me, a flawless piece of work. I remember being shocked when the only album I had heard by the band was the Gothic Metal/Death-Doom Debut 'Always...', and then listening to this out of sheer curiosity-But that's exactly why it has to be listened to more than once to get to grips with its overall sound. At a monstrously large 103 minutes you could say that it is too long, but this isn't too long at all-It's long enough, yet it feels like a lifetime-But this lifetime is one that can be fully enjoyed. The title track and 'Travel' alone are worthy buying.
