This is not the case with The Terror. It is a harrowing listening experience, but captures the emotion of despair as much as happiness and wonder have been captured on past albums. 4.0/5 - Very good album, even if a difficult experience. Combines their more recent accessible offerings with past experimentation, in the context of new emotional states - the sounds of someone coping with sadness.
