How is this even possible? I gave their previous album a perfect 10 because, despite it's "simpleness" that many people bash this band for, I really, REALLY dig the atmosphere of that album. It was my first encouter with this band, and I never expected that they'd be able to top that album with this new one! I went to bed to read a bit and put this album in the CD player. I couldn't focus on my book, because the music kept sucking me in... I was blown away.
If I could, I'd give this masterpiece a 12. But I can't. So they'll have to make do with another perfect 10.
Nightwalkers is one hell of an awesome track!

I feel the same man!  I just started listening to World Shadows a month or so ago, and then suddenly this came out and blew me away. I can see some people not liking the genre or the style of the songs but for me it's just perfect. Beyond is really special, and the best album by the band as far as I can tell. Glad you're enjoying it!
I feel silly for keeping my 10 rating, but it's just one of those albums to me. Somehow brings me to tears from the first track to the last. <3 <3 Easily the best damn thing I've heard in years... ;;

Why every good album needs to be voted down just because the fanboys of another can't stand it? This album stood at 9 when last time I checked it with like a 120 votes. The same happens every year with top quality albums (need to note that mostly with melodic death albums...). Uptight music will always be preferred to downright music, doom fans. This is so childish.

What a band! I think NWS was slightly better, but then I've only listened through Beyond fully once so I'm sure there are some growers among the ten songs. The Unknowing is such quality...another perfect 10 imo :/

I'm struggling to see the awe-inspiring aura of this album. Too same-y, ala New World Shadows, which I found superior in almost every conceivable way. Having said that, still a pretty good album.
Nightwalkers and Formidable kick ass.

It's not always about the fanboys voting down ... surely the band's fans will rush to vote but not everyone is that excited , so when other people hear it and feel "meh" it gets lots of 6 and 7 ratings . not to mention this one is overrated as fuck already .

And the hell would it be the doom fans down voting this piece of generic melodeath? And not fans of other metal subgenres?

Usually I'll say it's all down to personal opinions. But when it comes to melodeath on MS, yep trite and stale and immensely overrated.

Be'lakor are the single most overrated melodeath band here on MS, now talk about stale and trite. Even Omnium Gatherum is less stale and trite than those Aussies.

I have listen to this few spins right now. It's kinda weird combination, the music is clean and .. soft.. and then the death metal vocal is perhaps not the best in this setting. Enjoyable listening with awesome music playings...but something 8/10 so far..

Exactly what I thought. They have a very light kind of sound for a melodic death band, almost to the point where I'd question where one might find the death part, aside from the growls and the generic structure. Initially I thought it sounded watered down and "stale" as some have said about it. I think it might be because it owes far more to the melodic aspect than the death that led to that impression.
They really know their melodies, no denying that I think. Makes it very easy for me to listen to.

Some incredible melodies on this album, however the myriad filler riffs really detract from its overall quality....also I'm not too fond of some of the major scale melodies and doom-like tempos...
The Unknowing is beautifully crafted and clearly stands out from the rest

But now two lowest votes ("1" and one of "2") are from Persefone fans. So it's an obvious spam voting.
MS needs to change the method for rating calculation to cut off some percentage of the highest and the lowest votes. Then spam votes or fan boy voting will not have sense anymore.

Hehe this is true. The teaser video makes it sound like it will be amazing. I'm one of those fans who actually adores We Are The Void. Personally I think it's their best work, so very excited to hear Construct.

This is exactly what bothers me with Omnium Gatherum. The scenery what the music creates is beautiful, but the vocals just don't fit. The growls are sadly rather generic and simply out of place.

Boring, unoriginal melodeath which is a little sad since it contains some raw energy which is good for headbanging but still not good enough musically.
