  1. As exhilarating as it all may seem on the surface, there's little here that we haven't heard before.
  2. A monumental, spectacular achievement.
  3. They have developed into an almost evangelically uplifting and powerful rock unit.

    While not as strong as their debut, there are some rather special tracks on this, particularly the download / vinyl only single, Blood Meridian.
