    One of my all time favorite albums. 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.

    Intricate and thoughtful, it recalls the work of Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson. [Jul 2012, p.102]

    Weather Systems is entirely devoid of death growls and contains only the barest hint of volume and aggression. What it does have is lush instrumentation and a sense of drama without the use of distortion. [28 Apr 2012, p.53]

    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.
