2009 has been a very strong year for metal - Dark Age has not contributed to that. Although I have listened to "Acedia" well over 30 times I still have trouble finding a reason as to why this album has been put out on the market.

The music is so watered down that I almost suspect the band to have consciously made an effort to make this album as slick as they possibly could. This is never good. Of course the production is very smooth. But this can't hide the fact that Dark Age's "Acedia" is a totally unoriginal record. Please stay away from this.
