Three times I tried to listen to this album and all three of them I had to stop as "Circle" finished. Its one of the most gargantuan songs I've ever listened to. Maybe I'll man up and try for the whole album again soon.

Well, this was an experience of pure awesomeness. Never thought I'd say this about any album other than Lurker Of Chalice, but I feel like complementing this album in-depth is a bit pointless, like complementing the universe. Yes, the universe is "amazing", but it is also amazingly indifferent to how amazing you think it is. So I'll just say this album defeated me. I didn't even feel its length tbh, at some point I was just thinking: if this goes on forever, let it, I'm fine with that.

I do think one thing should be mentioned that I didn't notice mentioned in this thread, which is that the production is just perfect. This album couldn't sound any better if it tried.

Thanks VIG for the recommendation, I owe you one.

This and Paragon Of Dissonance are both albums with great production and I highly adore this fact. And I see it as a kind of satisfaction for Esoteric. Because of fact that they were struggling with production quality in 90's.

This is probably a very impressive album for funeral doom fans, but I sadly find myself not having the patience to sit through it

If you still haven't given Esoteric another shot, try out Metamorphogenesis, it's only 45 minutes long

This album is insanely heavy!

For those intimidated by the length: Just relax and take it all in. You'll be much surprised by the girth (of the sound)!

If had to answer the very difficult question of my favorite album of all time I would choose this album.
