Undoubtedly the band's best album, near enough every song on here breathes ambition and epic soundscapes. Although Carter had yet to find his harsh vocals (They mainly bring the overall quality down a notch for me), his cleans harmonize beautifully with the likes of 'Early grave', 'Follow the water' and 'In elegance'. The songwriting is pretty well thought out to, given that the album is consistent the whole way through. The shortest songs could perhaps be labelled as filler, but the title track more than makes up for this with a gradual yet excellent finish to an excellent album.
