This is yet another classic Omnium Gatherum album. Whether or not it's better than New World Shadows is a tough call. Tracks New Direction, In The Rim, Formidable, The Sonic Sign, Who Could Say, and Living in Me are all excellent. The Unknowing is far and away my favorite OG song ever recorded. It is a work of beauty. Where Beyond is disappointing is the two longer tracks Nightwalkers and White Palace. These songs, while by no means bad songs, kind of just trudge along. You find yourself waiting to be blown away at some point during the 8 or 10 minutes of these tracks only to be left wondering whether this was the best OG could've done, especially when the longer tracks on New World Shadows were so good. All in all, this album needs a good number of listens to really hear how good it is, not unlike OG's older albums. It is another win for melodic death metal and one of the best of 2013 for sure.
