If you havent heard of Tristania, then maybe you should go have a listen! This of course depends greatly on your own musical predilection, but nonetheless, its worth expending a little effort. If on the other hand, if you dont like the goth-metal type of sound, you probably wont like this.
There were reservations when Kjetil Ingebrethsen left, thinking that their three-vocal assult would loose it's edge, but I have been pleasently proved wrong over this. In fact - I'd even go as far as saying it's actually better, but then the preceeding albums just wouldnt have the hold that they do.
Illumination is indeed like far east meatballs - the dogs bollocks!
The track 'Destination Departure' actually gives me goosebumps when Vibeke cranks her voice up and Open 'Ground' it utterly stonking!
Splendid album, but then this is just one mans lowly opinion. :)
