    Emerald Forest and the Blackbird is far and away Swallow the Sun's most theatrical release.

    Like all of the best Swallow the Sun songs past, these are invariably lush, powerful, cathartic musical statements; rich in texture, multiple emotions, and even nuance, but we'd be lying to call them revolutionary, or even seriously evolutionary.

    It's a good album, but one undone by its more extreme moments. [25 Feb 2012, p.52]

    The thing about Emerald Forest and the Blackbird, though, is that it has no logical direction and no cohesive force, despite its strong and intriguing concept.
