"Though the title may suggest otherwise, what you definitely won't hear is a monotonous doom metal sound. Instead, it's practically the same as any other BLS album, but certainly delivers the goods to those who expect them. There are the usual mellow, relaxed acoustic-led songs ("Angel of Mercy", "Scars" and the first half of closer "Shades of Gray"), solid, groovy and slow-burning rockers ("Fields of Unforgiveness", "My dying Time" and "I've gone away") and one or two speedy, heavy anthems which do nothing but show off Wylde's penchant for the heaviest guitar tone there is to offer ("Damn the flood" and "Empty Promises")".
