Well, there are things I like and dislike about this release. I don't like it as much as their last two records, but that's not because it's bad, it just almost sounds like a different band at some points. I don't plan on going into too much detail, read the other reviews for that. I'd say World of Glass is worth having, so buy it if you like this band, but expect a different Tristania than what you're used to. If you're new to them, buy Widow's Weeds or Beyond the Veil first for the best first impression.This record to me is great for those moments within songs that jump out as very cool, but there are only two or three entire songs I really like from beginning to end.
