An alleged concept over global, political espionage and dictatorship, 2006's Panopticon contains more morunful C#-minor balladry ("So Did We"), major-key riffing ("Backlit"), increased use of droning clean guitars and tuneless barbaric chanting and repetitive tracks based on 1 or 2 patterns at max ("In Fiction", "Altered Course"). With the exception of the total lack of tritons, the band was starting to release the same album over and over.
Highlights: "So Did We", "Altered Course", "Grinning Mouths".
