This album has helped me through some tough times back when it came out.
I've rediscovered it again after not listening to it for about 10 years and was surprised that I still remember the lyrics and all the musical turns and twists to sing it all along.
Very emotional yet subtle and intricate. 10/10. Anton Lobashev

Caligula’s Horse have been one of my favorite alternative/progressive metal acts for several years, and ‘Bloom’ is where that started for me. It remains my favorite album of theirs. These guys know how to write excellent songs that pulse with heavy progressive riffage and soft subtleness, while keeping things extremely approachable. I would consider this album essential prog listening, especially for people just getting into the genera. 9/10 RJ
