themetaladdict I discovered this album in 2023, around the time it came out. As my first exposure to Panopticon, it left enough of an impression on me to stick with the band and listen through the entire discography. Even after falling in love with other albums within Panopticon's discography, this album remains a favorite of mine. Few can match the balance of beauty and harshness like this album. Simply put: exceptional. Favorite track: Winter's Ghost.

wsamsaal A very big album. Over an hour full of calm and intensity delivered in a way only Panopticon can. Masterfully put together and expertly executed. Very well done. Favorite track: Cedar Skeletons.

pinkytheent This one hit hard. Amidst family suffering and going on trips into the threatened wilderness for peace, this record was made for me. A shattering mountainslide of wild emotion, while also having a clearer production and maybe the most cinematic feel yet. I echo others: metal and folk gels ever more with each record. Devastating, inspiring, chilling, man those chorus vocals – be prepared to get emotional. Austin, you knock it out of the park again and I will see you when FITM returns! Favorite track: Winter's Ghost.

TomCush This album has been my introduction to Panopticon... Wow...
Musically and emotionally breathtaking. This is already an incredibly special album for me.

porcelainheart- Really, it serves me right for not having checked out Panopticon sooner. In all fairness, Kentucky didn't stick with me no matter how many times I listened to it. This has definitely hit the mark for me. I fully believe the hype now, and I see why thousands of people have bought this. Panopticon continues to solidify their position as titans in the USBM scene. Favorite track: Moth Eaten Soul.

wsamsaal Damn near perfect! A huge, epic, and heartfelt experience combining Americana and black metal, and adding deeply personal themes. Completely unique and fantastic! Favorite track: Rope Burn Exit.

Christoph Wagner Anarchistic cello-heavy crusty melodic black metal. Yes, please, this is awesome!
