Análisis (en inglés) - :
From {\classical} cover band devoted exclusively to performing {$Metallica}'s symphony-friendly epics to all purpose string ensemble interpreters of other {\heavy metal} bands' music for the cello, to composers of original material fit to mingle with even more metallic translations, Finland's {$Apocalyptica} had come a long way in the span of their first three albums. And, naturally, there were bound to be further innovations lined up for the band's fourth opus, {^Reflections}, which arrived in 2003 bearing not a single {\heavy metal} cover, and introducing several unexpected innovations into {$Apocalyptica}'s m.o., to boot. Chief among these was the addition of a drummer behind the group (recently paired down from quartet to trio), and since {$Apocalyptica}'s virtuosos would hardly stand for anything short of brilliance for such an assignment, that percussionist wound up being none other than {$Slayer} legend {$Dave Lombardo}, on whose {$Grip Inc}. albums, group leader {$Eicca Toppinen} had conveniently performed as well. One of those rare {\rock} drummers whose sound and style is instantly recognizable, {$Lombardo} was more than up to the task, providing the necessary flailing-limbs thrust behind dramatically driving originals like {&"Prologue (Apprehension),"} {&"Somewhere Around Nothing,"} and {&"Resurrection"} (which sounds like it should have originated as a {\metal} song, but didn't). {$Apocalyptica} also does without him on several compositions, of course, but they keep the experimentation coming by adding a pianist for the exquisite ballad {&"Far Away,"} discreet synth effects for the multi-faceted {&"Cohkka,"} full-on drum machines for {&"Heat,"} and a Spanish horn section for {&"Toreador II"} -- Ole! And for those fans who simply want to hear them shred, there's plenty of that throughout this set, with the suitably named {&"Pandemonium"} offering an especially blinding display. All in all, {$Apocalyptica}'s first foray into all-original material is nothing short of triumphant, and an eye opener for {\rock} music fans who simply came along because of the {$Metallica} connection. Recommended. {@Universal Music} later released a Revised edition of {^Reflections} including {$Apocalyptica}'s musical liaison with German {\punk rock} diva {$Nina Hagen} for a cover of {$Rammstein}'s {&"Seeman,"} among other non-CD tracks. [A 2004 Japanese version of the CD was released with bonus tracks.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
