"Steve Von Till even tries a hand at clean singing, giving the music even greater emotional color. His technique is a little (well, extremely) rough around the edges, but that may well be the point. Growls and heavy guitars are drawn on not to pound the listener into submission, but to contrast the more muted moments, orchestrating the maximum emotional impact. Incorporating everything from chugging, sludgy guitars to noise ambience and string orchestration, their epic compositions are journeys with direction but apparently no destination. To appreciate it fully one mustn't listen to it little by little."

"A Sun that Never Sets is a cohesive, organic whole that must be appreciated as such. The careful and calculated songwriting on "The Tide" suggests that no note is left without purpose, while patient, deliberate buildups and dramatic crescendos on songs like "Falling Unknown" rival even those of Godspeed You Black Emperor!. The climactic finale, "Stones From the Sky", is a tortuous voyage, its path illumined by a Theremin-like effect, that rises to a summit before decomposing into noise. But, pretentious drivel aside, this album simply slays."
