Pros:

Richly complex atmosphere throughout, balancing brooding darkness and sorrow against subtle but effective humour

Lyrics are often insightful and scathing, being delivered with an aggressive and powerful edge in the vocals

Musicianship is off the charts, consistently employing genuinely progressive and mind-bending rhythms and scales

Variety of effects and sounds used is both delightfully exciting and astonishingly consistent

Cons:

Far too many interludes and meandering passages, interrupting itself frequently for meaningless electronics and guitar-noodling

Many similarly exotic, Phrygian riffs and melodies can blend together at times

Best: Stinkfist

Worst: (-) ions

8/10 Almost a masterpiece
