In Mourning's main strong spot is not originality, there are tons of bands that try to play descent melodic doom/death. But these Swedish guys simply know how to write and orchestrate very good songs. Their compositions, all the parts, couples, refrains, all their ideas and all the instruments follow specific guidelines and produce a coherent album. Lots of musicians have ideas but the difficult part is to combine all these ideas into a solid composition. In Mourning are good at this. This album is best experienced as a whole, since different tracks depict different moods/feelings (with melancholy being the dominant one).
