A particular trick overused by Rome is the use of annoying and repetitive vocal loops -- which are presumably the vocalist's distorted voice -- which quickly becomes annoying, negatively impacting on several songs that were otherwise potentially decent. A pity, as the vocalist actually has a decent goth-styled baritone voice well suited for their brand of apocalyptic folk.

Some industrial elements are present, but they interfere with the flow of the album and sound like pure filler material. At the end of their seventeen minute folk excursion, the listener is left with a sense that the songs are half completed and were rushed into production. Perhaps the full-length due later this year will show off stronger material.
