Amazing album. Technical, brutal, soothing, and beautiful. This is one of those albums to convert a non-metalhead into one. The downside being if you listen to it through about 10 times it starts to lose it's charm.

His best album in my opinion. Unhealer, Malediction, and Threnody are standouts.

While I wouldn't say that this is the album to convert the heretics, this is certainly a phenomenal album

I was actually listening to this album. Now, after a few years, it sounds even better.

It's probably because you perhapslishnishly compare it to Eremita, which isn't this good, which I agree.

Maybe it is, but this is very different stuff. I remember this was the first thing I listened to from Ihsahn, so that might be it. By my usual tastes, I should like Eremita more since it is more progressive, but that's not the case at all.
