Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jarring reintroduction of Mikael's death growls over a jagged, odd-time riff in the opening track.
Ian Anderson's unmistakable flute fluttering through the dense metal orchestration like a bird in a storm.
The transition into the melodic, soaring finale of 'A Story Never Told' which resolves the album's tension.
