Psychedelic Rock - 2005

Good songs (mostly!), well played, sung and arranged The track "Carrickfergus"

Improved technology and focus over previous release. Still feels insubstantial.

Incredible artistry, several career highlights. 'One Foot Wrong'.

Classic experimental death metal album, and At the Gates' best. Some progressive touches aren't as well incorporated as they would like to be.

Perfection of the band's style, with great guitars and vocals and some timeless classics. Songs tend towards over-repetition, and end of the album is less noticeable.

Keeping classic metal alive, with a variety of song styles. Can't escape seeming like a second-rate copy.
