Urn

"As full-length work Urn feels authentic. Ne Obliviscaris refrain from over-producing the record, instead opting to let the songs shine for what they are. Nothing overpowers the listener, just as nothing relies on flash over substance. With six tracks clocking in at over 45 minutes it requires a dedicated listener, and the album delivers enough variety for those up for the task".

"While the mix does a decent job of clarifying the busy compositions such that no instrument is buried or overly dominant, which is commendable considering the many sounds present here, Urn is a brick-walled. It is simply criminal that such dynamic music and song-writing is denied a correspondingly dynamic master ... Former fans are sure to enjoy this release while the unconverted may appreciate the more direct hooks this time around. You'll be reading about this one again come list season despite my earlier warnings over dynamics".

"Progressiv ekstremmetal tilført passion for klassisk musik; Ne Obliviscaris burde være dit nye yndlingsband og overtage musikherredømmet, og det kan kun gå for langsomt ... De ved, præcis hvilke elementer der skal være i for- og baggrunden, og ikke mindst hvornår. Det giver dem et flydende og gennemgående udtryk uanset stilart, sangstykke eller nummer. De sammensætter deres virkemidler, så musikken bliver enestående. `Urn' er et af årets mest interessante udspil".
