"Well the atmospheric soundscapes of this album contrast the presence of distorted guitars, even though here you find some repetitive themes and a certain lack of a precise direction ... for this reason to me it's a backwards step, in comparison for instance to the splendid "Devouring";nevertheless the solid drumming and the excellent bass guitar work as well, along with the intensity of their performance in general, make this album quite captivating!! However "Feast of Ashes" and "Ten Days to the Sand" are the best tracks of the album. In particular the guitar solos, always soaring, and also the varied mood of such ambient atmosphere, make the compositions of Djam Karet a good modern art rock stuff, which is worth checking out!!"
