Aside from the typo I didn't catch on Rayner's last name, I stand by every word in the review, though I'll concede the possibility that my analysis of the drumming may not be entirely accurate; I'm no drummer, I'm simply going by what I've heard when listening exclusively to the drums, and that is a lack of rhythmic unity between the drum parts and the guitar parts, especially compared to the first two albums.
Anyway, the reason I didn't post the review here is because I didn't want it to look like I wrote it for the purpose of trolling the forums; I mean, if you come on somebody's forum just to trash them, it tends to make you look like a jerk.
And sorry to disappoint, but I've defintely heard the record enough times to solidify my opinion of it. I let it digest for about two months before I finally wrote the review, actually.
For the record, I'd probably give "Worlds..." a 90, and "...Legions" a 70.
All three albums are fairly distinct, so it's no surprise that opinions vary on them.
