Satyricon

"What we have here is definitely Satyricon going through the motions. If anyone expected any kind of improvement upon "The age of Nero", prepare to be disappointed. Satyricon isn't absolutely terrible, but it's not particularly good either, and rather sub-standard from a band (or a duo, if you like) who are fully capable of making us nod our heads in appreciation of good music".

"The problem with this album is not that it takes too many risks, but that it takes far too few of them and sounds like a less inspired rehash of The Age of Nero. A slightly less glossy production would be a nice change, as some of this record could have used a more raw and dirty texture to make it more interesting. This may also have allowed the riffs to stand out a bit more as well".
