Az árnyaltabb kép kedvéért itt a teljes idézet.

"Empiricism finds Borknagar leaning heavily on a grand piano and even bringing in some plucked acoustic guitar here and there, all with a view toward broadening the metal plate. When it works, it's anachronistically exhilarating. Imagine Emerson, Lake and Palmer after pumping iron and gulping andro for six months, and you're not far from the grafting of Yessongs-style sweep to the unbridled aggression that Borknagar practices. On songs like 'The Stellar Dome,' it's hard to resist raising a lit Bic in the air and going with the flow. Stadium rock for the 21st century? It could happen."
