    Weather Systems stands with Anathema's finest work.

    There's so much going on throughout each of these nine songs that it's hard to take it in all at once, yet whether it's because of time shared or friendship and family connections, the performances are in perfect sync.

    Weather Systems should be considered another milestone for Anathema because it is most certainly an improvement on everything they've been working towards, but in all the commotion and attention to the minute details the band may have lost sight of the bigger picture, leaving everything just a bit too sterile and formulaic to truly be considered anything more than excellent.

    Weather Systems stands as a solid release in its current form; it's moving, challenging, and (because this is Anathema we're talking about) incredibly beautiful.

Anathema outdoes themselves here with an exquisite, powerful album that is emotional from the get go. While this might sound like a cliche, but when the album hits it's final chords, you feel you have truly experienced something special. Full Review »
