It's a first album with drums, it was really something new for them. Their first connection with drums.
Atmosphere of this album is majestic with drums. Dave Lombardo plays on tracks 1, 2, 4, 8, 10. Sami Kuoppamäki on 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13.
Album is a big musical story full of emotional, amazing, attractive and impressive melodies. Slow cello solos are a wonderful ornament. Fast, heavy cello riffs are absolutely something supernatural. Here is a great connection of classical and heavy metal music.
Although it's not their best album in some songs are a great ideas.
"Somewhere around nothing" is the most popular and a fantastic ornament of this album. Another perfect song is "Drive". It shows what this band is about. Beautiful cello melodies with crushing cello riffs and drums. That's an instrumental wonder. Album contains more emotional songs. It's not like "Cult".
Most beautiful tune is "Faraway". Slow, tender and majestic. That's a beauty of Apocalyptica.
"Reflections" is not a progressive album. Only progress are drums added to songs. Album has yet another great heavy cello metal songs. "No education", "Pandemonium", "Prologue (Apprehension)", "Resurrection" and "Toreador II".
