Reception

Some critics were disappointed by the new electronic progressive post-rock approach rather than progressive metal of the previous albums.[4] Metal Invader called it progressive trip hop [5] while Insomniac Magazine wrote: “As a band, Ahoora frequently shifts gears between Heavy Metal, Groove Metal, Hard Rock, Alternative and Jazz melodic meanderings mixed in with synths and other varied instruments”. [6] Classic Rock Magazine believed: “This shows some very nice touches. Imagine Muse and Tool getting all cozy around Iced Earth and you’ve got the drift here. The musicianship is accomplished, the songs concise and focused”. [7]
