"Heavily centered on the vocals of Sigrid Sheie and at times evoking images of pure esoterism, Church of Broken Glass sort of reintroduces the band. The Hammers of Misfortune move slowly, but eschew the blunt heaviness of doom in favor of lush passages and almost intricate arrangements."

"Fields is led by the vocals of once Gwar and ex-Slough Feg man John Cobbett, his natural approach is refreshing amidst the current sea of shrieks and growling. But once Sheie comes in the title track there is not much difference from the material of Church of Broken Glass. There are some heavily accentuated folksy vibes in the title track and the first three songs are more like movements, where a smooth transition isn’t cut by beginnings and ends. This is what the band calls “The Fields Trilogy”, each clearly marked by a distinctive mood, the closer, titled “Motorcade” is more upbeat and has an almost triumphal melody. Musically, both releases have a uniform sound, which leads me to believe that the reason for the parting is the lyrical theme, which to me, is usually the least important factor."
