Humble beginnings for a legendary band. They really lean into the Death Metal aspects here. Not their best sound but it certainly has its moments.

연주의 녹음상태가 매우 열악하여 좀 과장하여 말하면 노래방 반주 느낌, 처절함의 느낌도 부족함, 다음 앨범 Turn Loose the Swans가 훨씬 나음

생기라고는 찾아볼 수 없는 제대로 삭막하고 음습한 둠메탈. 꽃이 시든다는 건 지나치게 시적인 표현인 것 같고, 이끼와 곰팡이가 가득하고 어두컴컴하고 습기찬 콘크리트 지하실에서 잔뜩 웅크린 채 거친 숨을 내쉬는 괴수가 도사리고 있는 듯한 음반. 앞으로 길게 이어질 밴드의 장대한 커리어를 시작하기에 딱 알맞은 출발을 보여준다.

doom/death metal občasne spestrený o klávesy a husle, dlhé piesne, čiastočne monotónne. Pripomína mi to staré Paradise Lost
