Elend basically took the formula from their debut and one up'd in most aspects. The screams are just as haunting as ever if not even crazier like in the maniacal "Dancing Under The Closed Eyes Of Paradise". The female vocals are more varied and add more layers since they had two female singers here. The synths also got a noticeable improvement as they sound much more authentic and their production value serves as a nice bridge between their amateur (yet great) debut and the more sophisticated sound, production and mixing you can find on their last albums. The album is pretty long (specially if you got the version with the bonus track) and a couple of tracks could be shorter but the whole album still runs smoothly from track to track
