I've given it one listen through so far, the songs that aren't the samplers and singles actually sound a lot better to me. starless aeon and xeper i set are like my 2 least favorite off the album. maha kali sounds a lot better to me than the version before, same with almost all of the songs. Sure this isn't old Dissection, but so far if i think of it as just a new thing instead of a continuation its fine. I'd still see them live for sure and I will probably pick this up. it reminds me so much of old in flames or old gothenburg, but a bit darker at times. starless aeon though to me sounds like a hardrock song, and the video is not dark gr1m anticosmic and whatever else jon says it is.
