While I did enjoy the sterilized, generally more bleak feeling of Vertebrae, this album feels so damn refreshing! I've never heard Enslaved sound so optimistic, with such joyous clean vocals! I just love how classic bands like Enslaved can still manage to make music that sounds so alive.

It was something like 60 a few days ago, and the score was at 9. Seems to have peaked.

All these comments just show how subjective can tastes and opinion be. Personally I really enjoyed this album a lot, and tbh I wasn't expecting too much, I mean, I like Enslaved a lot, but my thoughts about them releasing a new album were like "oh, new album, cool", so then I listened to it and I was blown. I wasn't expecting a mediocre/bad album or a godlike album, but I'm really satisfied with it.

I like the album, but I found the clean vocals distracting at first; took a while to get used to them.

Although I HAVE NOT heard this yet right now. I just realized that the only album I can think of left that can AT LEAST have a chance to probably top this and/ or even just rival this for this years "top 20 albums of the year", is the upcoming Agalloch album, "Marrow Of The Spirit".

You do realize YOU are the troll right? If you fail to see that I'm afraid you might be suffering from some delusions. The word "honest" in your comment here is pretty much the exact opposite of what your review was, as there are actual lies in your review, things that don't even come down to opinion but facts which you seemed to not only skew but fabricate entirely. Here, lets count:
- They don't actually wear make-up.
- Nowhere in the lyrics does it mention anything about being evil. Seems to me it's some sort of pagan type thing.
- Immortal and Gorgoroth sound barely sound like eachother, both of them sound even further from Enslaved. I could start off with guitar tones, drumming styles, song structures, progression from album to album, and production values.
- You complain about the monotony of the drums on the album - are you sure you actually listened to the album? As I heard multiple time & pattern changes right from the first track.
- Blistering solos: a great one starts at 6:48 in Ethica Odini, one at around 2:45 in Raidho, it goes on, basically there can be at least one melodic lead or solo found in every song.
- Screaming and growling all the time? You do realize almost half the album is clean singing, right? Continuing on this note, the fact that you require an album to contain clean vocals in order to be decent is a tell tale sign you are really out of your element.
Actual facts. Thats why people went up in arms - because you took a big shit all over an album you obviously didn't listen to or have any background knowledge on. Also - big lulz at the end when you measure them up against a bunch of bands that don't sound anything like Enslaved
I don't even like the album all that much. I got minor amusement from it, but it's nothing spectacular for me. A bombing of an Enslaved album doesn't really bother me, but the fact you did it while clearly being as ignorant as one can get is a bit remarkable.

If you don't like prog metal you won't like Enslaved. I'm into black and prog metal. So this album is almost perfect for me. Great athmosphere and agressive parts

Great album, it seems as tho the farther enslaved get from traditional black metal, the more thoughtful the music, not only the lyrics, but the music becomes. while there older stuff was pretty entrancing and thought provoking, they remain one of the few bm bands that gets mutch better with age.:bow:
