Timeline

"Transitioning from doom metal and incorporating the growing European shoegaze movement and Radiohead's spacey melancholy, this an atmospheric trip of epic proportions, built around van Gierbergen's fantastic vocals and more experimentation. Perhaps slightly overindulgent at the end, but a standout." (bartyMJ, S, )
"Listening to this today on its 25th birthday. A timeless classic, meandering, majestic, a vast journey. Beautifully crafted." (Mike, S, , full review)
