_A Collapse of Faith_ is made up of two lengthy compositions, between seventeen and nineteen minutes each, and a shorter one coming in under the six minute mark. Their use of recurring themes throughout each composition maintains a solid sense of structure regardless of the unusual length, and again their ability to integrate acoustic or atmospheric elements also comes into play. The songwriting may not be the most ambitious you will ever hear for near twenty minute pieces -- but it is quite effective, and this is hardly some form of prog metal anyway. What repetition there is usually works in the music's favour, although given enough time, their bag of tricks does begin to appear somewhat shallow. For its relatively short duration however, _A Collapse of Faith_ works very well indeed; a strong album within its genre, though not necessarily one that aims to achieve some kind of breakthrough.
