I wasn't overly excited by these Danes' debut WITHIN, but I've got more out of this follow-up. Like any album that has a heavy dose of progressive, it took a while to grow on me, but such songs as "The Nevershining Stones" and "See Tomorrow Shine" are good, while "Battle Of The Seasons" does something unusual - not only is it an instrumental (I don't tend to get overjoyed by heavy metal instrumentals), but it's almost nine minutes long, and yet it's pretty good!
Wuthering Heights' following album, FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD, is acclaimed as a true classic. I'm not sure if I'm going to fall in love with it like a lot of others have, but I'll certainly give it a damn good try, since the band certainly does have quite a bit to offer.
