You ask me how to measure this and that but The Gathering have something completely different in mind; How to Measure a Planet? is the most progressive and experimental question that the band have tried to answer. And yes their answer to that is this album. Picking up the remnants of where Mandylion and Nighttime Birds left, The Gathering paved a whole new avenue that takes their journey into the outer space. It breaks new ground for the band's career; gone are the double bass drums that once heard on Mandylion. Stripping themselves from more primitive, or perhaps conservative metal vicinity, How to Measure a Planet brings about great surprises for the uninitiated. Old fans would feel awkward toward this release. However, this depends on what type of fans are you talking to.
