They have been steadily building an audience throughout the 00’s, and appear to be poised for exposure to larger audiences. Over the years the band have moved into heavier territory (as in metal), but they are still not what I consider a progressive metal band. They remain experimental and are never afraid to explore a myriad of musical pallets over the course of this sprawling disc. The Zappa influence is less and less evident as time goes by, which may put some early fans off, but I can find very little to dislike about this album. It is strong from start to finish with Rikard’s quirky lyrics and over the top vocals leading the charge. Instrumentally these guys are always on top of their game and they pretty much kick ass all the way through this album. If you like really well done modern progressive rock, you should love this album. If you are a fan of early Beardfish, this is a bit heavier, but still very high quality stuff. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I've stared into the Void, and it calls me Son...." *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014* As a rule, I reserve 5 stars for albums like "Fragile" and "Houses of the Holy" so this is closer to 4.6, but who's counting. That is to say, as a fellow long time Beardfish fan I differ from many of the dozen or so reviews for the domestic issue of this album (Rule#1: ALWAYS buy the import version over the domestic...) in seeing this album as a welcome growth for the Band instead of lesser than prior efforts.Since "Sleeping in Traffic", this prog outfit has shown new Prog bands can compete with the greatest acts of The Golden Age of Prog and add some new thoughts, as well as pay tribute to pioneers like Mothers of Invention and King Crimson in their instrumental excursions. Currently there are few bands that can swing so effortlessly between funk tinged rock melodies to avant jazz ala Zappa to theatrical complex prog like ELP....too many releases currently seem strained and half hearted efforts like Spock's Beard and The Prog Collective. Beardfish of late seemed to be stuck in a formula rut as well.Maybe it's because I grew up doing duck and cover drills and wondering if we would destroy the World sometime soon that this album really seems cohesive, pointed and more "determined" than prior releases, great though they were. From the opening thunder bursts of "Voluntary Slavery" this is a different prowling growling animal - and I love it. I buy the premise and feel emotionally involved, something often lacking in the head heavy realm of us Prog Heads. Like the first time you heard "War Pigs" or "For Whom the Bell Tolls". It gets better with the attack&stop drum and guitar cadence of "Turn to Gravel" while advancing the story line. This is someplace Beardfish has been building up to over their career, like Opeth and "Blackwater Park".My one complaint with this effort is then the album settles too quickly into familiar Beardfish territory, which features great soaring instrumental runs in tracks like "Seventeen Again" and "He Already Lives in You" which progresses the story line, but quickly ("Note") feels like "Sleeping in Traffic" material and the pace seems to really drop off, not really returning to the initial powerage pace except during "This Matter of Mine", a relentless heavy rock and arpeggio driven piece.Vocals take center on the sweetly melodic and touching "Ludvig & Sverker", but dig the death metalish vocals scattered about - seems to indicate a desire for new ideas in the Beardfish stable.All said, this is a work HIGHLY recommended not just for Prog Heads, but mathcore rockers, metal heads and even classic rock fans. Great introduction to a band with an intensive back catalogue. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not their best but still a great effort by an incredible band!! *by T***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2012* I have been a fan of Beardfish since Sleeping In Traffic Part One. Every single one of their albums have been instant classics to my ears. Except for this one. This one took some time but now it is a classic as well. They changed their sound on the first few tracks but after that they fall right back into place. It took a little while to get used to the heavier/darker tracks but now after a several listens they are great tracks. If you like prog you will love this album. Glad I was a first day buyer as always with this band. Hopefully they'll get to tour the states one day!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/19151495-the-void](https://www.desertcart.at/products/19151495-the-void) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
