From the strong opener Hope, one can already feel your heartstrings being tugged at. The song has a nice mixture of both heavy and mellow, giving it a very depressing, emotional and melodic feel. The transition from clean to the heavy and distorted section is very well done. Just listen to the opening riff, until the 1:30 mark, and tell me that nothing has touched you. Even if nothing did touch you (you'd probably be 90% lying), the song will definitely pummel you into submission. What a very contradicting title for such a song…but then again, after listening to this, you'll be very "hopeful" for the rest of the album! Definitely one of the highlights.
All in all, this album is anything but hopeful. Hope will remain a very contradictory album title, with its endless depressing moments. However, this album, is in a sense…a hope. Never have i heard anything in my entire as depressing as this. Granted, i did try out some My Dying Bride. However, it did not appeal to me back then. This, my friends, is hope beyond hope. Exactly, what doom should be (if you take away the higher tempo).
