    Unheavenly Creatures has kind of fallen out of grace for me as time went on. What started off as hard and heavy and then quickly fades into repetitiveness. It became very boring to listen to as it felt that every track sounded almost exactly the same. While yes, There were a few stand out tracks. It doesn't necessarily make up for the fact that the majority of the album is rather uninteresting.

    It feels like eighteen years of history, story and fanbase community are coming together like, uh, some sort of keywork.

    While its current state still qualifies it for a highly regarded honorable mention and a high degree of critical and commercial anticipation for what's to come on Vaxis Acts II through IV.

    This return to the Amory Wars concept is welcome. Even the few seemingly out of place moments are deliberate diversions to reward longtime fans. That said, in an era of renewed appreciation for prog metal in general, this offering should draw legions of new listeners.
