Pretty underwhelming album in comparison to Merging Into Landscapes and especially Evershade. It's far too short (just under 35 minutes) and the spoken part in Soliloquy II is painfully bad and actually ruins the song for me. The whole album feels as if it's unfinished... like there are 2 or 3 tracks missing from it. But it's still a good album nonetheless.

Good album, but Naïveté is not only the title of the first track of this record, it's also a feeling I get when I listen to the music.

This album is short but hey, Reign In Blood is 29 minutes long. I don't care about the length. I like this album because of vocals, production and melodies. Vocal reminds me a bit of Arcturus which is a cool think and brings the 'avantgarde vibe' to this album. Best songs: Naïveté, Soliloqui II, Eyes Of The Black Flame.
