    every things great, ok ok...
    but this is not the old anathema,where is that dark atmosphere? where is that deppressive voice?where is that painful suicide veil's shout? i cant' remember how many times i cried with that sick last goodbye...

    vincent kavanagh did his job as well as ever! and sure, now the female singer has riper voice than weather systems .sometimes we hear an attractive drum's playing that we never he heard before ,guitar solos are great ,like ever and i swear the "anathema" track will show you the old band's solos ,and yes ,this track is the best in this work.
    Distant Satellites is dreamy, beautiful and hopeful.you must know this is milder than 2012 album ...
    but it's still anathema and you will love this, if you loved two latest albums

    While you can’t draw a direct line from PT to Anathema, Steven Wilson’s hand is in some of the mixes, but, by standing on the shoulders of giants, bands such as this one have themselves become gargantuan.
