I don't feel personally entitled to judge their newer works due to the fact I'm not too familiar with those albums, but as with most symphonic-influenced metal albums nowadays, it seems -to me- such albums seem to only use orchestral elements to enforce a certain atmosphere without really adding a beneficial perspective them. Now, I don't necessairily disapprove of such elements, for I love their earlier works and stuff like Beyond Sanctorum, but in this case, I feel a bit thrown off by what I feel is 'integration' of symphonic aspects.
