I'm still hopeful for this. Annlouice will be missed, and I wasn't impressed (but neither was I disappointed) with the new girl on the single they released forever ago from this album. Even if it turns out to be a downgrade in the female vocals department, I think the composition and musicianship can still make up for it. Here's hoping, anyway.

I totally get why some people will be pissed on this album, but if we put metal aside, this album is an amazing masterpiece. It has all of the DSO attribute and brings net colours too. The new singer is flawless. I always thought that DSO would fit this style singer perfectly. A very very strong record, entertaining and fun record.

I only started listening and had to do something so I got interrupted... My impression is there's little to no metal on this one. Which is not necessarily bad... But also not necessarily good =p Not sure what to make of the first impression though. I would say it has not impressed me very much so far

Besides being Metal enough or not, It really has huge highlights (like Interruption OMG) but it also has some parts that are just "meh".

In year of disproportionately high number of disappointing albums, this was a pleasant surprise considering the line-up change! Easily their second best since their debut for me, or perhaps a tie with the previous release.

Some major grooves going on in this one. They've drilled inside my head and I can't get them out!

A bit disappointed. Not a bad album from a musical point of view, also it is less original than the previous one, but I really do not warm to the new singer, she has an awful voice.

Started listening to it on YouTube (I know, f*ck me), musically I like what I hear so far, but the sound is so thin it's a bit hard to be engaged and I refuse to believe it was YouTube's fault all throughout. Is there really barely any low end? And as if it could've use a little more high end as well...

One track grabbed my attention it's called Lady Clandestine Chainbraker, but it's only 50% good... and after 2 listenings of the album except for that song it was all pretty meh.

At first I wasn't very 'into' this album, but after couple of shots it grew up in me.

Yeah, I gotta give it a few more shots perhabs, but I was almost stopping the listen by the 6th song, I just couldn´t get into that first half. Now, from the 8th till the end is way different, that was exactly what I was looking on this new record. Interruption is a masterpiece.
