91 is way too high, in my ever humble opinion.
It's decent, nothing too special; neither excellent nor terrible.
I know there are those that will disagree, though.

I've heard really really terrible things about this band. I may have to check them out at some point.

Same here. It seems you absolutely hate it or you love it, just as the review says. I'll give it a listen.

Should've been a classic.

That's kinda a joke because that is what is always said in reviews but influence alone every USBM band is doing some variety of this album and I really want to say it's the first to do what it does so I'm kinda serious.

Definitely a love or hate album. I was spot on there. Half of the people will give it a 50 while the other half will give it 100.

Like this album a lot. It comes closest to meeting the picture I have in my head of the ideal black metal album, although it isn't quite there.

Can I give it a 1?

Half-joking.

This album is pretty fucking awesome, much better than the later ones influenced by it. Like WITTR and such. I can't listen to it too often though.

It's not a go-to album for anyone. But when you're feeling it, nothing comes close.

I don't hate it, but neither do I feel the need to listen to it very often. Meh.
