Critical reception edit
The album received generally positive reviews with many critics praising the music complexity, variety and the seamless blend of genres.[2][4][5][6] Some critics were even more glowing with their reviews labeling it "head-bang inducing, ethereal and gloriously unpredictable"[7] and "as close to perfect as you can get. Absolutely stellar."[8] The dark and haunting atmospheric created by the album and the "spartan" lyrics were similarly praised by numerous critics.[9][10][11]
