It’s all good…that’s what makes music so cool…we all get something different from it…

No, I understood that your opinion of the disc was favorable. I was disappointed that the review didn’t go further, that’s all. I like when a reviewer tries to interpret the artist’s message or comments on it, and I think Dornenreich’s music demands that type of response. I would be interested in reading such a review even if the author concluded that the album was a failure. No — we are in agreement at least: the album is good. I just hoped for a better read. Perhaps you and I read record reviews for different reasons. I am already a fan of the band, so.

Did you miss the part where I said it was fantastic? Just because we wouldn’t describe it the same way is no way to be disappointed…

Very disappointing review. This album has substance and mystery–as all Dornenreich albums–and I had expected this site to post a review that explored these depths better. This one should’ve been handed to Apollyon; he’s reviewed Prophecy releases before–I remember his very good review of Tenhi’s last album–and he seems to have the feel for what this music is about. I realize that you are new to the band’s music, but your talk about dancing corpse-painted gypsies and dead trees in endless white is actually an insult to this band. They reach for so much more than that. This is a good album, though not Dornenreich’s best, and more song-oriented and simpler in scope than the band’s previous release. Inve’s energetic performance and melodic sense seems to have invigorated Eviga’s creativity; I was beginning to worry that his ideas were getting stale. Overall, it’s another rewarding Dornenreich album that can be dissected for its subtleties or simply enjoyed for its sweet, sweet melodies–love them.

Yeah, I don’t know that I’d include Agalloch either…

I perhaps wouldn’t go as far as to make direct comparisosn with Agalloch, but there are some similarities of course with the acoustic sounds. Been a huge fan of the band since Her Von Welken Nachen and they haven’t let me down since then. Remind me quite a bit of some radio plays for some reason. Definitely an interesting band.
