Has Lake of Tears regressed since the Headstones-Crimson Cosmos-Forever Autumn era or have I become a more demanding listener with more sophisticated tastes? Probably a bit of both, but this album just doesn't click for me. Biggest surprise on album: the last two songs are tinged with some faint black metal stylings! These guys are surprisingly big in Russia. Who knew?

Those who already have this album but haven't give it a listen ...can be divided in 2 groups! Those who can't refrain from feeling nostalgic after Forever Autumn apocalyptic period and the rest who had no problem with The Neonai-Era.Second group will be quite satisfied and my homesick fellas shouldn't be greedy at all !!!

Most of the album is consisted of heavy metal up-beat tunes or Green Dayish(yeah!!!) riff-based songs like"Parasites"and melodic trashy grooves like " The Hating" or "U.N.S.A.N.E".
Here are tracks that left an impression on me :
House of The Setting Sun : A down-tempo folk-oriented reminder of heartfelt "When My Sun Comes Down" from "Crimson Cosmos" which is outstandingly impressing .
The title track is also catchily well-structured that really shines bright.
The two other interesting tracks are "Behind The Green Door " with its gothic-influenced lyrics and bagpipe solo and "Out Of control" which stands out as the shortest but oddly has a progressive nature.

In nutshell latest Lake Of Tears release has something to offer to any generic metal fan...but may not work well as a whole body of work.
