    I have never heard about Purity Ring until I listened to this album, so I didn't put any expectations on it and I am really glad of it. Another Eternity is good and repetitive at the same time, all the songs look equal for me. I don't know if I don't get this yet and may be wrong or I can be right about the disc, but I'm sure that is not what I had thought before to listen it.

    This album is a huge disappointment for Purity Ring.Their debut "Shrines" was amazing and I thought they will do better for their sophomore album.But like every band or solo artist they failed on their sophomore album.I'm not saying it's a bad album or something.I'm just saying it's not satisfying comparing to "Shrines".Tracks like "heartsigh","bodyache","push pull","stranger than earth"This album is a huge disappointment for Purity Ring.Their debut "Shrines" was amazing and I thought they will do better for their sophomore album.But like every band or solo artist they failed on their sophomore album.I'm not saying it's a bad album or something.I'm just saying it's not satisfying comparing to "Shrines".Tracks like "heartsigh","bodyache","push pull","stranger than earth" are pretty decent.Especially "heartsigh" is very good.It opens up this album perfectly.But rest of the tracks are not reflecting this album very well.They sound very strange for Purity Ring not in the good way.This is a very confusing album.It has decent and mediocre songs at the same time.I'm giving this album a 6.
    My fave track:heartsigh
    My least fave track:dust hymn    … Expand

    More often than not you do wish another eternity was a little less slick and had a little more of the oddness and darkness which permeated Shrines in another eternity.

    With more revealed in every listen, Another Eternity shows that there's much more to Purity Ring than initially meets the eye.
