This album represents the culmination of two decades of innovation in Canadian metal. This is a record that is a blowout in so many ways that the listener is drawn to wonder how a band could continue to write material after such a catharsis. It is doubtful that Cryptopsy themselves or any other metal ensemble will be able to top this amazing collection of passionate compositions. All I can tell you is that you must hear it for yourself-- my jaw is still on the floor somewhere.
