Existing comments about this CD

Though they hail from Chicago, there has always been a distinctly European flavor to their music - or maybe it's just that death-doom is a distinctly European concoction. I mean right down to Paul Kuhr's accent on some of the clean vocal parts, and especially some of the song titles - it's almost a Soilwork level of English-as-a-second-language. No idea what a "novella reservoir" is. This album comes in the middle of a run of albums that emphasized their deathly inclinations, with "Rain" crushing right out of the gate, and other highlights "Drown The Inland Mere" (again, no idea) and "The Voice Of Failure" sounding like heavy, heavy Nevermore circa Dead Heart, only with vocals that range from Paul Kuhr's monstrous roar to his deep, clean harmonies. The only stinker is the mawkish "Twilight Innocence," one of Paul's sleepy-time songs for his daughter (parenthood and its worries and sorrows are a surprisingly frequent theme for these guys).

Except for that, it's heaviosity all the way, even with the occasional splash of keys. That is, until we get to the closing depressive epic, "Leaving This." This is the kind of doom-ballad Novembers Doom excels at, more so than the daddy-daughter mush of "Twilight Innocence." Still, this is one of the band's best albums.
