Taking my breath away, indeed. From the visual direction to the music production, everything about this release left a bold impact. Only a slight flaw in the vocal execution during the bridge, but otherwise absolute perfection! ★★★★★★★★★ (9/10)

"Planning to sit down for this album and listen to all the songs while relaxing at home is such a treat. There was an overall clear vision, vibe and sound for this album and I heavily enjoy the album being this consistent and cohesive, so you can really indulge yourself for a proper album listen.

I'm beyond surprised that so many others have deemed this era as one of their lesser interesting albums, when for me this is one of their most complete and well thought out productions. From the instrumentation, to the vocals, to the message of the songs, to the visual concepts: This is a very well ... read more
