    I thought Similies was a bit of a misstep, so I'm so glad this one is amazing.

    so we can come to the conclusion that every single Eluvium album is just as good as the last ok.

    I don't like Lambent Material /that/ much to consider it the best he's ever done. the only fault with An Accidental Memory is that it's too damn short, otherwise it's a perfect album. However, I don't think Nightmare Ending is better than Copia right off the bat, but only time will tell.

    lambent material and an accidental memory cannot be topped in my opinion, but nightmare ending takes pieces from all his previous releases, including miniatures. and it is amazing
