I can totally understand the hate for this album. And Electric Doom Synthesis is so much better it's unreal. But there's still quite a few sounds and ideas I really like about this. I can totally see how it was labeled by the band as "Ritual Music". It just needed more thought and time put into it. As background music during quiet walks or reading it manages better than expected.

If you are able to pass through stuff like the cringy "The Gate Of Inanna" and the pointless "Fish" then you can listen to "Tribal Death", "Mystik Force" and "Escape" which are actually pretty cool.

I can see how some sounds and vocal effects from "21th Century" and "Paradise (Part II)" were points of reference to albums like Mayhem's A Grand Declaration Of War.
