It just failed to strike me on the same emotional level as the previous albums. I think the main reason why I was so disappointed was because it was hyped up to extreme levels in my mind. When it didn't even come close to Century Child I was naturally extremely disappointed.

None of the songs really appealed to me either. I found the best ones were Planet Hell and Ghost Love Score and that was mainly due to their epic nature. None struck me as hauntingly beautiful or particularly well written. Tuomas just didn't live up to his standards on that front.
