I'll disregard that annoying "in this thread" comment. Well, decade=a period of 10 years. So the only two permissible albums for "the decade" are Sideshow Symphonies and Arcturian. In essence, you're simply saying you like it better than Sideshow Symphonies, a sentiment that most people tend to agree with. Loading...

Production isn't what I expected but it works anyway. I'm glad they returned after all, hope I can see them live! Loading...

Atrus Posts: 55 From: Spain	23.05.2015 - 15:59 Rating: 10 Atrus Posts: 55 From: Spain Nice Masterpiece. It's an awesome grower. Even with lots of years of difference, they remain with the same sound and feeling, but fresh. Very good and enjoying album. I want more ^^ Loading...

I want more ^^ Yea, at first I was underwhelmed, but once I got used to the hectic production it grew on me like crazy. And I love ICS Vortex's delivery, I think this is the best album he's been on yet. Especially at certain points where he transitions from singing to a short burst of harsh vocals. Loading...

Lethrokai Posts: 507 From: UK	14.07.2015 - 18:18 Rating: 8 Lethrokai Posts: 507 From: UK I've always felt somewhat estranged by Arcturus releases, but that being said this is pretty solid. The Arcturian Sign is a brilliant opening track, and the rest of the album is pretty good too. (Though there aren't many other remarkably high moments on the album either) ---- Sometimes you just need to roll the dice and look away. Loading...
