I don't think it's bad, but it's definitely the worst out of Archspire's albums. Also, a 40 rating, as bad as it may seem, is not a bad rating. I just wouldn't revisit this album.
Honestly really, really good. Limb of Leviticus is definitely the best song on the album. I waited for this album and listened to it on release, really enjoyed it a lot, but it's not the greatest.
It's a good album, but I don't really think it deserves anything higher than 80 at the max. Not the best of Archspire's work, but still worth a listen and has a few songs that keep me coming back.
It's very very good, not completely incredible, but it's definitely a must-hear in my eyes. Bleed the Future and Reverie on the Onyx are my favourites.
Literally just the best metal album I've listened to. It's absolutely amazing, it's an incredible must-hear album.
