"Probably the most ridiculous rock operas you'll ever hear, this album takes you on a pretty awesome ride as you explore themes of religion and the concept of God." Reply
"Amazing, one of the best soundtracks of one of the best video games of all time...

"This record is gorgeous. A post rock, downtempo, and triphop record that gets to me. Love the atmosphere these songs make. In the far reaches of space or in the distant tundra on a deserted planet, this record gets to me perfectly." Reply
