You're the first person I know of that didn't like the album, I've seen nothing but positive reviews elsewhere, and I totally disagree this album is uninspired or unoriginal - it's cohesive, it's not derivative, it's Moonspell doing Metal with no strings attached. I really can't think of any recent Gothic album that sounds as powerful and well written as this one, Moonspell is second to none in the genre.

There are some people here who also agree with me. I can think of some: Type O Negative - Dead Again a great mix of Goth metal with Doom, Thrash metal, Industrial elements and punk hardcore and all well balanced. while Night eternal is poorly written and has a sloppy performance only the the last 3 songs fall in place and sound well. recent Tiamat, Paradise Lost and The Vision Bleak are better as well.

night eternal is cliche in only one way...[cue cliche] if it aint broken dont fix it. they are following the same formula as memorial as well as wolfheart! if you listen closely all these albums have similar sound and feel, none of the bizarre loose shit released in the middle of their career...what im trying to say is that this album is excellent by an excellent band and i think critics aka tir should do better then criticise just for the sake of it or rephrased because its 'popular'. to end, if you like memorial or wolfheart buy NE and enjoy

If you actually read the review, then you should know that it is also an cliche preformed badly to mediocore. The keyboards are set way to high, the drums sound flat and boring and the guitars weak and the vocals repeat it self with catchy grunts "NNNNNNIIIIGGGHHHTTTT ETERRRRNNNNAAAL!, MMMMMOOOONNNN INNNN MEEEECURY! at TRAAGGGIICCC HHHHEEIIGTHSS" Memorial toned the(some of it) Gothic cliches down and had way better performance. And no, I liked Wolfheart and Memorial but did not enjoy Night eternal in the slightest.
Oh yeah, I like many popular music such as the Gorillaz so saying that I bash Night Eternal because of it's popularity falls to not.

How can someone rate an album like this 5.8?..it's ridiculous, i am not an often participant here in metalstorm but sadly i realized that some people here dis everything that is popular, if a band it's popular it sucks.Okay the underground is good but there are lots of popular bands that are very good, Moonspell is the case, i have seen worst albums here with higher ratings, And if you want to think it is cheesy, everything in the Gothic scene is too, all are based in cliches , darkness, beauty, despair are all common themes. I think this album is well written, with very inspired guitar riffs, with a beauty atmosphere and it's a logic extension of Memorial,and as a Portuguese man i am damn proud of this album in spite of some arrogant people say, they wish to do better.In conclusion this review shows why the reviewer is not an official reviewer of metalstorm, because is nonobjective, and it's solely based in his disgust for the album and the review by all means don't represent the album at all, as far as i am concerned this review is pointless.I am studying to be a journalist and i know that a good critic/journalist has to be objective, focus and and more important Professional, and i don't see those things in this review.This is an excellent album

Totally agree with psychopeth! non professional work in this review ... should be banned from metalstorm ... pointless to even read it. a good reviewer accepts criticism and i don't see that in any of the comments, but whatever die bitter it's your choice ... we all will continue loving NE! in spite of lame reviews ... lamo

pointless is your comment. this review is unbiased, if I hated moonspell I would give it a low grade. I already have said a 4234234312 times my reasons to you mindless Moonspell fanboys. And it is very clear you are one. if you have seen the comments, the admin agrees with me - so I highly doubt it will be banned. And a good reader will give good criticism and not biased up the arse pathetic, useless fanboy criticism. Any other Moonspell fanboy who wants to show his biased opinion? please do, these kind of comments really make me laugh.

Gosh, seriously, yea.... I mean, Moonspell, popular?! I know like... 5 people who know who Moonspell are and they all heard it from me!

I mean yea, Night Eternal hits off right where Memorial started but it does it DAMN FREAKING AMAZING.

Fuck cliches and darkness and all that crap; there's more copycat gothic bands out there that STDs and luckily Moonspell remain there with their own sound. Nonetheless, I loved Memorial so much when it came out and I still do; it's the same with Night Eternal. The songs have great melodies and I have always loved that specific Moonspell sound, combining rawness and sophisticated ambientalism with more tender melodies.

So I say: Night Eternal Definately far from 5.8, more like 8.5

I have reviewed hundreds of albums and even of genres I didn't like. Personal taste must be set aside and there's alot of loose points in this poor written review.
I am a fan of Moonspell but NE hasn't been growing on me either. Not surprising, but a very solid release nevertheless.

Don't get me wrong, I defend the right of any reviewer to post his/her opinion. But most lack constructive argumentation and good ear to apreciate the technicism., overall structure or even the complexity of it. You basically just posted what you like or not...and follow ur reasoning for liking Memorial, then this must have at least above/equal 7.5 because it can't lack quality if its equal to their previous like you stated. It's simple logic.

hi! my name is Hater of Gods and I'm a biased Moonspell fanboy, but I try to hide this fact by showing my so called objective side, despite being obivious I am a fanboy. Because siriously who reviews hundreds of albums of genres he or she doesn't like?! And eventhough I am 24 I still have to realise that reviews are made of likes and dislikes and personal taste is what makes every review unique. Damn I am such a dumbass! and Arutha also wrote about the techincal problems in his review but ofcourse I didn't read. If I only read the review, so simple logic.

Why should that be? Arutha has only rated and reviewed Night Eternal by Moonspell.

So what? If she liked Memorial then it's above or equal to 7.5. Therefore a solid album like NE which has the same agressiveness and concept but a more varied sonority, should have the same score or at least 7. After all, she finds it similar and not inovative.
