It’s a big letdown..it’s pretty bad imo..slow, boring, and by far their worst release.

Given how subpar some of their other recent releases have been, that's really saying something if THIS is the worst. Hard to believe this is the same band from Ecliptica, Silence, Reckoning Night......

That was my thinking. I don't remember them well enough to know if this is the worst or not, but I'm definitely not listening to them again to figure it out.
 
It's better than Stones Grow Her Name and does have a few good tracks, but there's no real standout like even their poor albums have had and for the most part it is really, really boring. What's more, they are playing pretty much nothing good on their tour either. Just a really poor setlist. I thought they had listened to the fans with the Pariah's Child album, which was actually very good, but the last two albums have resumed the downward spiral.
