The opening is bombastic but effective and well executed. The transition to a much more uptempo song is a bit too sudden (or is that just the youtube playlist?). The song is quite good, but a bit too typically goth post-punk for me. Song titles and lyrics seem a bit ridiculous but it's not a distraction. The album has a feel of mixing goth with prog and I'm not the greatest prog fan (and tbh goth is not one of my favourite punk genres), but it's not too bad. Like other people pointed out the guitar sounds nice, very lush. The opening of Submission really worked for me. The bass is kind of PiL-like, which is great. The chorus of Sumerland is beautiful, the kind of stuff I like best about got music. I really love the spooky floaty sounds in Wail Of Summer but the song itself doesn't do much for me. The album ends great though, more spooky sounds. Pretty solid album overall.
7/10
