Tristania, Darkest white

After my beloved Vibeke's departure and an album that was bizarrely a whole lot better than I expected and at the same time a whole lot weaker than I expected, I had no idea what Tristania's new album would have in store for me. I was hoping that Mary would consolidate her place in the band and that all the lineup changes would finally stop and I guess I got what I asked for. I'm just not sure what to think of it, still. I could call it one of the most successful massive changes a favourite of mine went through, but still something is missing. Probably Vibeke and the candles :P
