"My home was cleared, history sold Empty was my place 'Cept a picture on the wall Of lovers in embrace." The wind, the rain, the urban grey landscape and the thunderbolt are ingredients of a fabulous deep autumnal afternoon. They could also be components of a grandiose My Dying Bride album and I know you're not unaware of this. Especially when you start shivering to the sound of a weary church bell that so graciously managed to open the gates to a world you know you've been to before, but can always paint something different for you with the bleakest of colors.

I smell a return to their early albums. Violins, and all. That's great, hope the whole album will be like Kneel Till Doomsday.

First impression was a big ass Yawn ... hopefully it'll gain some sort of charm with further listens.

Moderate yawn combined with nanoseconds of musical orgasm, this definitely needs more time and still I don't get the hype behind this album.  I'm not gonna rate it for now (as if anybody ever cares, though. )It's still a lot better than Evinta IMO.

Pretty good new album. I love the second song. Hail Oddyseus, worst songtitle in MDB-albums, is pretty good as well.

Pretty good, much better than For Lies I Sire (and Evinta obviously). Can't decide whether this gets a 7 or 8 from me. Probably have to listen through it one more time.

Whole album is fucking awesome. Been waiting for this from them for a long time now--reaches back to their earlier works without being a "redo" or "recycled".

Written by peggazuzz on 19.10.2012 at 00:25 Yeah, I'd say a 9/10 equals "amazing" or at least "great". Some might even say a 9/10 album would be considered a masterpiece, though I don't agree with that, since that'd be a 10/10.

Written by Guest on 23.10.2012 at 14:26 So you give this album a 6/10 and basically all other albums you've rated 10/10's?

Great album, love the depressive atmosphere throughout. No one can do that better than My Dying Bride.

Written by Guest on 23.10.2012 at 14:26 I had trouble even getting through this one. The two singles were the best songs and the rest was a bore fest. To me, it sounds like a lack of inspiration and has the same "whiny" feeling that For Lies had. I don't feel the emotion coming from the music like on previous albums. They should hang it up before it gets any worse

I dont think it is better than for lies i sire.it has some interesting moments such as hail odysseus and kneel till doomsday but rest of the songs are just boring.it didnt catch my attention

After a decent amount of times listening to this album, I've concluded that it's a very good album, definitely better than For Lies I Sire. I also think it's better than A Line Of Deathless Kings. My favourite tracks are Hail Odysseus and A Tapestry Scorned, but I honestly like every track, though Like A Perpetual Funeral is a little bit boring. Overall this album grew on me, so for the people who say it's boring I have the following to say: give it another chance, because for me it was boring too at first, but it became better after more listens. I just added it to my "MDB: Best To Worst" list for anyone who's interested: http://www.metalstorm.net/users/list.php?list_id=2582

What a relief! After the latest Candlemass record I don't think that my doomy soul would be able to take another disappointment.  It's the good old My Dying Bride. The only complaint with this album is there could be more violin and violin lines could be less simplistic. The bonus track is a fine example of how that magical instrument can embellish the musical palette of the band.

Written by Alex F on 18.10.2012 at 02:54  I honestly would've expected you to hate it, seeing as there's plenty of gothic on this.  Btw, I rate it exactly the same: a 7.5 from me.

Written by Erik M. on 09.06.2014 at 13:14 Gothic metal isn't inherently bad to me, I think it's mostly the case when the gothic elements are overwhelmingly the primary focus of an album
