5.0 out of 5 stars Floored, December 14, 2004

By	The Raven "It Can't Rain All The Time" (Jersey Represent) - See all my reviews

The album itself is awesome, another great from Anathema. If you want to get technical thins is the album where they started changing their style into the band that they are today. I think that they have gotten better with each album, but there is something that makes this album shine. If you buy this album make sure you buy the Digi version with the BONUS tracks. I bought this album without even realizing that the tracks were Pink Floyd covers. I was listening and was just floored at how amazing they sound. I always attributed Anathema as a modern day Pink Floyd and finally hearing them cover my favorite band was just amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of Anathema, November 19, 2004

By	Yavuz - See all my reviews

Anathema is one of the bands, which creates himselffrom album to album. After my opinion this album is their climax. They deserve to be in a position, which must be better than they are in. Feel and Fragile Dreams are songs to be memorized. Just go and buy this album. Otherwise you will miss a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars I feel so blue, January 24, 2009

By	Jason D. West (omaha,ne) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is soooo depressing, good Lord. If your feeling sad and want to stay that way then listen to this album because I cant see how it would cheer someone up.
That being said. Its a great album. Every song (except the second one) is great. The song Inner Silece is my song for my lost love Merideth S.
Alt. 4 is what got me started on Anathema. And after that I've been hooked ever since. While this is not my favorite Anathema albume (A Fine Day to Exit is) it stands as a must for any fan and for anyone who needs a release instead of blowing out ones brains.
