    10 well-crafted, progressive rock tracks that transcend schlock-rock trappings. [Oct 2015, p.98]

    Given the rigid stylistic direction of Meliora overall, Ghost seem to be writing for the expectations of the general metal community with songs like the stock metallic chugging of 'Absolution' and the AC/DC-baiting 'Majesty'. Such safe playing prevents Meliora from being something truly special.
