Hopefully I'll change my mind after repeated listens, but so far I only enjoy the last four songs. The rest sounds like a weak ass version of dredg or Crippled Black Phoenix in my opinion.

Totally agree with Collin. But then again imo ANathema already went shit after The Silent Enigma with only a couple of good songs every release.

it just doesn't sound like you listened to the album
how can you seriously say that Thin Air and Summernight Horizon sound 'weakass' or like 'versions of whatever'. the only real difference between the last 4 tracks and the remaining 3/4 is that the songs in the middle have a much happier, hopeful feeling. is that what you have a problem with?

Well, there's no need to get all touchy about that, is there?
I listened to the album three times so far, admittedly while I was working so I didn't pay full attention. The only songs which awoke any kind of interest in me were the last four. And I don't know if you're familiar with dredg and Crippled Black Phoenix, but this new Anathema album gives serious nods to these bands IMO, or at least it sometimes coincidentally sounds a bit like them, and less good. Like I said, I'll give it more time to sink in but I won't say it's godlike if I eventually think that it sounds like shit, you know 
Oh, for the record, I like post-Silent Enigma Anathema better than their doom period.

hm, i hope i didn't leave the wrong impression though, i'm not defending the album or trying to make anyone like it, even though i love it, i just demand people to be fair and objective, and not inclined to bash (or even mindlessly praise) something they really don't get (yet)

I like the music. But some songs don't have that genuine "Anathema-feel" to it. So, it's not really what I expected, but it's not bad either.
I'll have to listen to it some more before I really rate it, but the above is what first came to mind when listening

I liked the atmospheric rock played in this album.
Melancholic in a different way, not appealing to the extreme sadness, just peaceful, dreamy and sometimes light-hearted.
Successful in its purpose

Probably some people think that the real Anathema are only their first two albums.

and I think thats why they are not even new Anathema. I think this is their third era and they finally succeeded to make me feel sick about them too! because I was one of those who loved their whole works, but now I cant take this last brilliant album.

This is the opening of a new ere for Anathema - a more serene, peacefula nd optimistic one.
For now I've listened to it once, and I've ot to come to to terms with what they've done...
Beautiful, but I'm not sure it's really to my liking. Respectable and a success, as it was what they aimed for, sure.

and to be honest they have to search their fans out of Metal community, when someone thinks like that and when someone is not even a hard rock band, why they are playing in some Sonisphere fests?
I cant explain, but they are really bothering after their simple mistake single and all of those stuff after that. cant say why but I think they are really cheap now and it happened suddenly because their whole carrier was very nice IMO.

Even more serene and peaceful? That is impossible cause the albums were already the epitome of peaceful and serene for me. And this one continues in the exact same way.

Well, I don't really consider their previous albums to be totally peaceful and serene, even if there some (or a lot, depends on the album) moments like that. But if you take A Fine Day To Exit, for example, I consider it on the whole a bit more depressing than luminous...
That's why I say that this WHBWH is much more peaceful, as this feeling permeates the whole album, and not only some parts. IMO, of course!
Differences of perceptions I guess!

@Darkside Momo, Im agree with you, for example ''Pressure'' is a song which is talking about stress and emptiness and you cant see these in its music video too, the man embarrassed an ... , and at least they had some good lyrics IMO.

Seems to me that some of you forgot they turned to atmospheric Rock since 2001. The last 3 albums (including Hindsight) were really good in the general opinion, and this one is not exception. I like the early Anathema, but I really like what they have become in the last few years as well.

they had really good lyrics, they were not about I love you I love I love, Anathema has lost their little respect which was left in metal community. I really cant love a band who is against its Past. do you know what ''A Simple Mistake'' means to me? they mean their whole career was a simple mistake! take a look at the 100% opposite lyrics of the song. ''we are just a moment in time''. then go to hell and find new fans.

if its not, so why they didnt play even a song from Eternity and before it in the last concert (a month ago) when I saw them? not even from Eternity, but they played all love songs one last goodbye and so on. I really disappointed from their A Simple Mistake single (or better to say their first site release song). We're not just a moment in time.. (in my ex post Ive made a mistake and wrote ''we just moment in time'' which is the lyrics about the song called ''Shroud Of False'' from Alternative 4 album). so it has a meaning for me, it means the lyrics and thoughts in Alternative 4 album were all just a simple mistake
the other sign is their Hindlist album look at the Track list just one song from Eternity album and nothing about before that album. they didnt even include the ''Far Away'' or and ''Eternity Part III'' but they were almost ready because they had already released them in their Digipack version of Eternity. (at least as a bonus again, but they didnt)
I think if they even release a Compilation album they wont include the masterpiece songs like Sleepless, A Dying Wish, The Silent Enigma, They Die, Sweet Tears or my loved song Ascension. (there are a lot more)

I understand the contradiction from the lyrics in 'A Simple Mistake' and 'Shroud of Fate', but honestly I don't think it was their intention to say they made a mistake on their career. People tend to change their opinions over time and the way they think about life and other stuff. The experience changes throughout time, and that can cause a change of opinions on some subjects and how we see certain matters. Besides, those lyrics were written by different members, so it's normal that there are different points of views, you know. I completely understand what you are saying and feeling, but maybe you're being a little harsh on them: just because there is a contradictory phrase on a song called 'A Simple Mistake' doesn't mean they are referring to their career.
I understand that they only used one song from Eternity on Hindsight and none from previous albums... and yeah I know its bad and it sucks, but you know how music business is... All artist will have to do something do gain new fans sooner or later unfortunately, so it's normal to see some bands leave their early work behind (besides its an acoustic cd and they had to choose which songs to play... it would take a double cd to include all their good songs - they can't please all the fans). It pains me to see that in some bands as well (look at Evergrey, Within Temptation.. even Metallica and many others), but what can we do? Money talks louder to some people unfortunately.
BTW, they used 2 song from Alternative 4 on Hindsight. I guess it proves they're not entirely regretful of their work, right?

what is your opinion about I love youS in this new album? its not annoying that a good band like anthema cant write deeper lyrics? Flying or Are You There both have love themes and a lot of other songs but now they are talking about love like a pop band, I love you anyway its not my taste at least.

After many listens, this album is indeed a new direction, a much more optimistic vibe than on all their previous releases.

Well, i have listened the album some times and now i think that is good but it does not have that shocking Anathema's impact, it has some good songs but others are just in the average, i like a lot "Dreaming Light", "A Simple Mistake" and "Universal".
I guess this album is lacking of feelings and it has an overdose of progressive elements that do not fit with Anathema's releases, i miss guitar solos like in "Flying" and i miss desperate and sad voices like in "Are You There?", "Anyone, Anywhere" or so, i was expecting something like their previous 2 albums.
"Get Off Get Out" is not a Porcupine Tree song? the sound is exactly to that band.
