A volte-face to anyone who thinks Doom Metal can’t be energetic and exciting, and a great lesson in what makes true Doom a completely different beast from Trad Doom. Wish I Could Dream It Again is one of the earliest true Doom albums, having zero Sabbathian influence, none of the 80’s Doom groove, and a total focus on somber, melancholic atmospheres. And unlike most prior Doom bands, it doesn’t rely on being consistently slow to achieve this. Lethargic, doomy sections still run through the compositions, but a lot of this material is lively, especially the rhythm section. Simple melodies and morose chords permeate the songwriting, but that drumming ensures a complex and ever-changing foundation to the music.
Novembre also have very melancholic lyrical themes, sticking to the introspective and poetic, drawing upon aquatic, summery and warm imagery across the album in another first for Doom Metal. The sentimental mood here was pretty unique at the time, but the general melancholy on display became a staple for the genre.

celkom dobrý debut, mix doom/death/gothic/black metalu. S tirdanie čistého melodického a tvrdého spevu - growlingu

아직은 미흡한 사운드이다.앨범전체적으로 듣기에 지루하고 이렇다 할 킬링트랙도 없다.이 앨범은 century media에서 나중에 Dreams d'Azur 로 앨범제목을 바꿔서 재발매되기도 했다.
