Dissapointed overall, I knew I would be. There will never be another Quintessence, better off just making acoustic albums from now on. It's Oysteins fault. I hate to say that. Lars sounds great. He brings life to these dead tracks. V gave one of the best performances of his career. I don't give a shit about drumming. Erik did good, cool basslines. And a solo! But Oysteins songwriting is just so unfocused, fucking bland, aimless.
Still have a couple more tracks. I'm being really critical, it's a good album. Just...ugh. Such a clusterfuck of ideas that don't blend together.
