I'm breathing this album, Perfect music for autumn melancholy and winter nights.

good album by Swallow the Sun. Despite the significant amount of music, it is not boring and it passes the time well.

A mix of very good songs and top-tier songs. The second disc is not as impressive for me, but the 3rd disc just floored me and the time flew by so fast. When Swallow the Sun goes into heavy doom mode, they bring the ruckus for real.

그냥 말도 안되는 앨범. 3년만에 앨범 3개를 뽑아서 3CD 구성으로 발매한 셈인데, 그 세 앨범이 전부 다른 스타일을 보여주는 동시에 전부 명반입니다. 기존에 듣던 장르에 속한 앨범이 아니었기에 익숙해지기가 다소 힘들었지만, 그럴 가치는 충분하고도 남습니다.

쭉 내리들으면 지루할거 같고 각 파트의 분위기가 달라 기분에 따라 듣고 싶은 파트를 나눠 들으면 좋을듯.. 격정과 잔잔함이 오가는 속에서 감상의 묘미가 있는듯하다.

너무너무 길다. 정말 맘 먹고 준비하고 들어야 한다. 원래 둠과 심지어 드론쪽도 즐겨 듣는편이나 이번 앨범은 어떨게 보면 한편의 서사이나 어떻게 보면 너무 늘어지는 경향이 있다

disc 1,2 도 훌륭하지만 압권은 역시 disc 3 의 퓨너럴 둠 파트다. 서정미와 파괴미를 동시에 갖춘 명작이라 칭할 만하다.

Disc 2를 제외한 듀얼로지로 나왔어야 했다. 특히 Disc 3의 경이로운 퓨너럴둠은 2010년대 장르 내 발매작을 통틀어 최고 수준이다.
