Act IV, in my opinion, is one of the most musically colourful releases of 2015. The
orchestral sections are competently composed, and the songs manage to be grandiose and catchy at
the same time. The album is a bit bloated, there were bits that could have been left out. Overall,
I highly enjoyed this, and would recommend this to fans of Coheed & Cambria or progressive rock in
general. 4.5/5

I think this album is superb! It's difficult to rate this act in comparison with others, given a change in themes. It's obvious that our favorite character, "The Boy" is progressing. In this progression you hear a change of tone is his thoughts. The music is not necessarily deeper, but my thought surrounding it has become that way. The vocals and lyrics on this track are preferable to ACT III: Life and Death. My favorite songs are : At the end of the Earth, Waves and The Bitter Suite VI.

After 5 years, this might be one of the strongest of the conceptual albums.

Pretty dull music, I don't understand why it gets so much hype -- reminds of that boring Queensryche album in this sense

The Dear Hunter can write a catchy song, but by God is their brand of pristine-clean pseudo-prog obnoxious sometimes.

Where Act II is the best musically, and Act III is the best lyrically, Act IV is I think the best on a scenaristic level. I just the story much more interesting than any other Dear Hunter album.

The Dear Hunter is amazingly consistent and consistently amazing. Waves is such a ridiculously good song.

This was the album that I discovered this band with and came to love them for. It's a stunning release, a bit over the top at times, but thematically and instrumentally refined. Despite entering the middle of the story, it was still gripping rather than tired. The only (small) issue is the ending song, while one of my favorites as a song, is a weird way to end an album.

I tried, but I cannot even survive 25 minutes of nauseatingly happy music.

I always believed The Dear Hunter to be a brilliant band, but this blew everything I knew about them out of the water. Everything Casey Crescenzo and company have done to show their incredible talent thus far all culminates here into a crowning achievement of their best album to date. There are numerous jaw-dropping moments that give me chills. It is a bit lengthy with a slight lull in the middle, but it is packed to the brim with creativity. While it is only one part of a six part series, it is absolutely a work of art.

Not sure this band is named correctly. Listening to that music, I would say they go big game hunting, for bands like Queen and Muse. Monumental instrumental arrangements, multiple voices supporting the lead singer and providing harmonics, suites... and yet they mostly *do* pull it off!

Completely unexpected in terms of the emotive movements elicited by The Dear Hunter, all overlaid upon technicality whose subtlety continues to become apparent with repeated listens. Excellent release.

Seriously, though. How awesome is this record? When it comes to musical and compositional versatility, this is a master class.

This is a solid 4.25. Damn half-point rating system.
EDIT: Upped it to a 4.5. There are no weak songs here.

I thought that the album maintained too much of a happy and major tone. I like the dark and musty feel of the first three acts. I just didn't think this made the cut. Nothing stood out huge first time through. I am going through it again now. I also did not like Waves. At the End of the Earth was much more up my alley and in lines with the Acts. Also that electronic song just rather made me angry that it was there.
