I could desagree with ya on this one...septicflesh at least do know, what an orchestra is and can actually INCLUDE it into the music. Unlike these amateurs who simply push the piano notes when they feel bored at times.
The difference being that Septicflesh focus more on being a symphonic metal band than anything else, whereas Fleshgod Apocalypse have maintained their BDM ways while incorporating orchestral elements into their music.
Cannot argue with you on this, but I think that when a band decides to incorporate orchestral sound into their music, they should pay more attention to it. I admit septicflesh have grown "softer" on their last albums, but the symphonic part is almost flawless. Fleshgod apocalypse did not change their style, just added some elements which I did not find interesting or enriching at all.

And I can't argue with that, since it's your opinion.

The problem with this one is the mixing imo because the orchestra had taken the role of the lead guitars but its somehow buried under the drums vocals, and the rhythm guitar is also droned so there's nothing really taking the lead. you can hear the symphonic sound but its not "out there" enough to take the lead and you can hear the rhythm guitar but its also droned with no real riffs.

Yea i agree. Its hard to decipher whats really going on in the songs at times, prolly cuz theres too many tracks with differing melodies and like you said the mixing. That is the biggest flaw of this album and what holds it back from being exceptional IMO, though im not a exactly a fan of Brootal DM so maybe this band just isnt for me.

im no expert in brutal DM as well but i think riffs/lead guitars "or in this case symphonies" should take the lead so you could actually hear them and understand whats going on

I don't understand why some guys don't like this album. I admit that this album is full of likes and dislikes. I'm the one who thinks this album has more progressive harmony between orchestra and death 'Brutality.' The position of clean vox is the main problem on this album, but the possibility to combine the two different musical elements makes me expect their next album. They will be closer to the perfection next album . I bet

I'm perplexed as to how this album did not make (or has not made) the Top 20 of 2011...it gets better with each listen!

I think it's just too much to swallow for a lot of people, too complex/too harsh etc. Hence they vote low, thus not reaching top 20.

Or people simply don't like it. Sometimes the simplest reason is the correct one.

Normally I'd agree with this, but in this album's case I'd venture so far as to say some Septciflesh fanboys got upset with seeing another symphonic death metal album creeping up on their fave release of the year...

Hah, I forgot about that option. Sounds correct.

Well, I think the album is a masterpiece, and a near perfect balance of brutal death and well placed orchestral wonderment!

The ideas they have are good and you can hear that the orchestra does sometimes compliment the chunky guitar sounds, its clear they want to have a strong symphonic sound. The problem is that it is not executed as well as it should have been.

I have the SAME feeling after listening to any song of this album. so, i think that it lacks in variety. i hope the next one will be better cause these guys seem to be really talented...

This band are really becoming a favourite in my DM band list, they never fail to impress. I don't think they're any good live, but on record they seem to get everything just right, and although there isn't a lot of variety, the atmosphere created by classical influences and brutal sounds are superb. The only thing that annoys me slightly is the harsh vocals, which don't seem to be as consistent as the cleaner ones.
