    Another progression, or diversion, for this ever-morphing band...it is, nonetheless, a mighty creep of dark, musical energy, like the most intense sections of Mirza's "Iron Compass Flux" thrust to the moon. The music goes that far, while the wide-screen clarity of production locks this album in deep-level listening.

  1. The Grails have once more pushed their own sonic terrain, where all that is familiar to them is woven into a gorgeously textured fabric with all that could be envisioned by them at this point in time, with the listener as the true beneficiary.
  2. There's a lot of great moments here, but is the least consistent album from the group in awhile.
  3. On Doomsdayer's Holiday, the haze is even thicker, and the album represents a sort of endpoint to their journey: taking place in utter blackness, it is their most alluring and impenetrable trip yet.
