"this is a classis album of goth rock.the musical textures its atmosferic and dark,but the sound its almoust of new millenium¡its an musical apolipsis!the voice that use wake its shaking and so deep,like andrew eldrith of sisters of mercy.this is a great album,a referent of the goth wave of this times so colds in the dark music.¿SOME DUBT?I DONT THINK.HEAR THE MAGNIFIC SONG OF THIS ALBUM AN THEN YOU SEI THE SAME."

It doesn't suck, but somehow doesn't quite fulfill either.

"This is the same sort of comfortable, entertainingly pretentious and self-consciously melodramatic goth-rock you'd exect from anyone in this corner of the genre (i.e. Sisters of Mercy/Sisterhood, Nefilim/Fields of the Nephilim, Mission/Mission UK, and/or Rosetta Stone), and it does have one of their best tracks on it. But somehow this just doesn't seem to live up to its potential, even within the narrow confines of this "trying to sing as deep and angsty as possible" gothic subspecies. If you're a diehard fan of this sort of dark pop, you'll surely dig this album. But if you only like 1/3 of what the Sisters ever did, and don't like more than a few Rosetta Stone tracks, you can safely skip this album, since they all might as well be the same band, and this release isn't one of the shining stars of that particular firmament."
