    Relish the result of an intelligent, engaging act taking a new stand. [Sep 2014, p.90]

    Elysian Woes and River prove that, whatever your favorite version of Opeth, they possess a embarrassment of riches when it comes to gorgeous melodies. [16 Aug 2014, p.53]

    Pale Communion only toys with the building blocks, revealing influences that were already apparent but refusing to invigorate them alongside each other.
