5.0 out of 5 stars One of Cathedral's best., April 27, 2010

I was floored the first time I listened to this. It's like all the best parts of Cathedral, with something new and old at the same time... quite difficult to explain. I highly recommend this to all fans of Cathedral, and good stoner/doom metal. What really separates this from their previous albums is the extent of the psychedelic and progressive 70's classic rock elements thrown in... makes for quite an interesting listen, indeed. I cannot recommend this enough!

This album with the Carnival Bizarre are their best albums. Its full of great songs with very good melodies. It reminds me a little Lake of tears. This album is not classic Cathedral but i dont care since its one of their best albums. If you like black sabbath and Carnival Bizarre then buy this great album

Having been a Cathedral fan for many years I was eager to see what the new songs would sound like on their new double album. Cathedral have been responsible for some of the best metal riffs ever and a listen to their back catalogue would verify this, particularly The Etheral Mirror, Carnival Bizzare and Supernatural Birth Machine. This new disc has been touted in some quarters as being something different with copious amounts of prog and psychedelic sounds being evident. Well this is certainly true but the core Cathedral sound is still very much there. The massive riffs and time changes abound. I'm lovin the different guitar tones Gaz Jennings is using on this album and the songs are featuring up to three or four changes within each number. Gaz is going for it on this release and it has become my favourite release from the band since er.... The Garden of Unearthly Delights. The Sabbath worship is still evident but the use of the melotron and other effects does nothing to detract from the power of the songs. Cathedral have tweaked their sound a bit and are the better for it. Feels like I'm listenin to some early Uriah Heep, Yes or Black Widow in some places and to be honest it's bloody refreshing. I wasn't expecting to be blown away by The Guessing Game as much this and it's a pleasant surprise.
