The only words that can describe this album in its entirety are "a tribute to music". It's genre bending, and in a good way. The transitions between the softer and harder parts of songs are seemless. It's emotional, epic and grand. I thought they had given us their best with the singles. But i was soooo wrong.
The best of the best: (11/10) the summoning, ascensionism, the apparition, take me back to eden.
The worst of the best: (8-7/10) DYWTYLM, are you really okay?
