i loved the key and i was so looking forward to this album, it had its moments like nocturne in bm but i feel they were trying too hard and forgot to make the songs catchy and instead a lot of them sound like a complete cluster fuck, listening back on it now though its growing on me nearly 20 years later

@darkestfugue I exactly feel the same way about "The Key", which is too much based on crazy guitar soli IMO, but good soli don't make a good album. "Thresholds" is much more "controlled" and harnessed... more catchy.

It has a space ship and a pentagram on the album cover. What more could you possibly want?

Some may disagree with me, but I think that "Thresholds" is musically far superior to "The Key". I just low the melodies and the ambience these guys created back in the day!!! It pulls you right into it. I wish there were more bands like Nocturnus.

HAHAHAH I know the drummer for this band. Rick Bizzaro

The screenwriter of the film Event Horizon has said this record was an influence

I love all the time signature changes on thresholds, too bad everyone is always comparing the key and thresholds, they both kick ass!!

@purplesquirrl Best album review ever

[SepulchralOfAiwass]

I always though Nocturnus was an interesting band and was one the most overlooked underrated band of the Florida scene.

Everybody always gives credit to Death Atheist and Cynic.... but far too few people give credit to this band for their amazing contributions in the first movements of prog death.....
