    The Terror is aptly named. This is pretty much an hour of background music, which might be the point. You can pop it in your car's CD player and forget about it.

    It's still awesome, of course, just don't expect to enjoy it. [May 2013, p.85]

    There’s nothing to dislike about their creeping dread, but it’s hard to engage with it.

    The Terror is simply the latest (and darkest) report from those reaches, one that generates holographic intensities of the dire straits this band has seen throughout its 30-year career.
