Before this album they had released three other albums, and after each album they became stronger and fulfilled their music; perhaps this album is their highest point. On one hand there is a light point in melodies and rhythm, and on the other hand there's a wild face in the album. It's a good result at every point, the overall quality of the work is acceptable and leaves no wonder why this album got 9. Let's face it, this album is really great. Don't think I'm a crazy teen fan, this album is one of those masterpieces which has almost combined softness and wildness in it which seems to be a good idea if you really want to get something good out of it. They do the trick to make the album comfortable and joyful, and can easily get into your head. It is something special around the other extreme power albums.
The band used a unique and very interesting keyboard inside their music that gave their album a taste of power metal, and the following music has the combination of the melodic music aside that. Eternal Sears Of Sorrow's music in this album is cold, but pure and calm.
Thanks to Antti Kokko, this album includes some deep, heartfelt melodies like we usually hear from Kalmah today and when keyboard follows the notes, makes the sound twice deeper, and darker. There is a equivalence and seamless rhythm all over the album and melodies are light and smooth. Fortunately, vocals are suitable for the album with a little wildness beside some soft lyrics. There are some meaningful lyrics behind this work which defines the meaning of the title. The whole album is coordinated, and it seems this album is their best outcome and deserves appreciation.
Eternal Sears Of Sorrow in the old days was a stunning band and still it is: A Virgin And A Whore is a masterpiece. And yet, this album is one of my most favorites.

Sorry but I have no idea how this review was published as it is here. You misspelled the band name every single time!

Hm.. my review got proofreaded and got corrected for minor grammar errors, so it's weird that it's not been checked out on this one! Back to the actual review: No wonder why it sounds like Kalmah sometimes, as every bandmember on this (or the majority of them at least?) has played with Kalmah  The album is good! I just don't like to call it power metal.. Melodic death for me

The grammar mistakes is not a problem for me and I don't believe it should be considered the main issue. The problem in my opinion is that, while you are trying to write a review, you speak about yourself, how you realize the band's work and not how anyone could realize this. This is a review not your point of view in a conversation.
