Negative Positive
Title: Band out of ideas. First album better.
Review: "The Somberlain" said it all and this is a more compact offering of the same material, with sentiment where once a fire of emotion burned. I would rather listen to a 5th-generation tape of the first Dissection album than hear this again. Their music, which is neoclassical melodic metal with black metal influences, peaks when it reaches a relaxing and hypnotic peak of quickly changing riffing with flair. For someone getting into black metal, this band is a better entry point from heavy metal (ick) than Cradle of Filth.
Is the review positive or negative?
