Following up a magnum opus like Ænigma is absolutely no easy task, and it took In Vain five years to come up with a fourth album. A make-it-or-break-it moment. How did they fare?

To go with the theme: no, no, noooo! Why do they want to sound like Borknagar? (... not that Borknagar is bad)

Not bad, but Aenigma was way more enjoyable for me

Agree with above poster, nearly through Currents and whilst this is fine, and a bit more diverse than what I've heard from them before (don't remember a song as heavy as Blood We Shed gets at times on the last album), Aenigma is a far more interesting album. Nothing on here approaches the infectious quality of Against The Grain. The standout track is the one that's a sequel to a track from Aenigma (Times Of Yore Pt. 2), although Origin is a good track too.

I haven't listened to Aenigma so this seems to be a classic album to me. More than half of the album are compelling repeated listens.

After lots and lots of listens, it got way better. Actually, I like it even more than Aenigma.

Btw, the bonus tracks are #4 and #7, not the last 2 tracks.
Bonus tracks:
04. And Quiet Flows the Scheldt
07. Ghost Path

One of the best albums I've heard this year so far. It reminds me at times of one of my favourite bands, In Mourning, and that can only be a good thing.

Indeed. I always look forward to your recommendations and reviews because it will probably match my tastes
