I really like this cd a lot, but also it's different from the style of the first 4 albums (although it has the prog and heaviness in common), and for my taste, those are still the best of PoS. In the production note, I think it's interesting the option Daniel is chosing for a more natural/real sound of the instrumentation, which is very unusual for almost all the recordings nowadays. In this aspect and if it's intentional, I think they have achieved a really good result with this album soundwise, much better than with the Road Salts (although I personally prefer a cleaner sound/recording, like on Scarsick, the best PoS souding album to me).
