Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Truly an outstanding release, top-notch in every aspect. Don't miss out, get it now!
Unlike lazycat74 but similar to fcavieres, my version is fairly quiet. I didn't anticipate a completely silent album from this kind of label. But it's definitely not loud. Seriously folks: If you receive a super noisy copy of an album, send it back, and at least check if it's just that particular copy. Any plant can mess up a press. From a musical standpoint, I feel this is more of a shift from Theatre Of Tragedy - Theatre Of Tragedy and Theatre Of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear than what I'd heard beforehand. There's a lot more pop influence here than on those albums, and it's generally just a lot less dark, and a lot less intense. Maybe that made them more accessible, but for me it takes away from the music's appeal. Honestly, whereas those albums were unique, this one reminds me of quite a few others. It's not bad, but it's not as innovative as those two were.

Seriously folks: If you receive a particularly noisy copy of an album, send it back, and at least check if it's just that specific copy. Any plant can produce a defective record. From a musical standpoint, I feel this is more of a shift from Theatre Of Tragedy - Theatre Of Tragedy and Theatre Of Tragedy - Velvet Darkness They Fear than what I had read led me to anticipate. There are significantly more pop elements here than on those albums, and overall it's just much less dark and much less heavy. Maybe that made them more accessible, but for me it takes away a lot of the music's appeal. To be honest, whereas those albums had a unique sound, this one resembles quite a few others. It's not terrible, but it's not as innovative as those two were.
Not having any original pressings of this album, the reissue by Cosmic Key Creations truly brightened my day. The overall presentation and audio quality are fantastic. I hope they keep up their quality standards with future releases. Great job to Pirate Press as well for their superb pressing quality.
Fantastic re-release! Back on vinyl at last! The sound is crisp, warm, and powerful with zero surface noise. Just like all the other recent ToT reissues from Cosmic Key Creations, this one's top-notch!
