This album is awsome!!!

Could be really interesting.

Almost missed from my Wishlist I did not like his other full-lenghts, but im sure gonna listen to this.

One of the best i ve ever heard....wish to listen more awesome works like this in this year

GOD DAMN IT! THIS IS WHAT ALL METAL IS ABOUT!!!!

Album of the year...

A Grave Inverse is very nice.. I haven't listened to the whole album, but what I've understood so far is it's better than angL, at least for me..

I was gonna buy it today, but the record store didn't have it..

Yes, for me too. Imo ''A Grave Inverse'' is the best song ever created by Ihsahn in this project.

I have listened to the whole album now, and it is a little better than I thought. ''The Barren Lands'' and the album title ''After'' are horrible, and kinda have ruined my good thoughts of Grave Inverse.

The other songs are pretty good thou, best Ihsahn work by far.

Undercurrent is a classic

A Grave Inversed and Undercurrent rock. This is my first experience with Ihsahn, but what a way to kick off 2010!
Clear Yakuza influence, though...

Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Absolutely seamless front to back, and follows suit from the last album well without being a mindless repetition. Absolutely love it.

Much, much better than the other two solo releases. This is a very original, emotional work which left a smile on my face for a long time. An incredible way to kick off 2010 and will probably end up being one of the best albums of the year by far.

Profound album....you really hear the Emperor coming through in some of the songs! Much heavier and that 8-string brings another dimension. Big step up from the first 2 albums....still getting my head wrapped around it so my rating might still go up, epic.

Just one listening....... very good album!! on the shores sounds like pink floyd sometimes

Okay I never go after MS votes actually (except for some single users with taste here and there). But this looks really good and I loved "angL". Might pick this one up next week.

I still need to listen to this more, but this is way better than his last two albums. I think he'll incorporate more singing from now on, which is fine with me since his growls haven't been good in years.

I hate the last song, but the rest went above my expectations.

At first I was shocked, and then I was blowned away! Instant classic! Ihsahn delivers and delivers more. 10/10. Every singel song is a love love love!

Undercurrent .kick a**
the production of the album is excellent,:thumbup:

Heavens Black Sea, Frozen Lakes On Mars, A Grave Inversed... shit, I love every song on this album. It's perfect.

Performance: 10
Songwriting: 10
Originality: 10
Production: 10

Don't have it yet, but I heard some of the songs and it sounds really awesome and progressive. Very much akin to Strapping Young Lad and Devin Townsend's solo work. Can't wait to get a hold of this.

Really good, Ihsahn never ends.

This album is just amazing.

Surprisingly good. i picked it up this weekend based on all the drooling and furious masturbating in this thread.

it's not going to crack my top 10 or anything, but it is a really good album.

Best album released so far this year. That saxophone is simply brilliant.

I'm really wishing that he didn't use his harsh vocals. Or at least, get someone else to do them. I think his clean vocals work quite well in the passages I've heard. Not to mention, I quite enjoy the instrumentals. Progressive in the vein of Winds (Norway). I don't know about the sax, but hey, it's kind of '70s right?

It sounds pretty good. Nothing I'd probably buy, but good nonetheless. I just can't enjoy his harsh vocals though. They seem out of place. If he'd just team up with Garm or Marco Hietala or Simen Hestnæs...

Ihsahn best post-Emperor album so far.

This album takes awhile to get into, but it's the best of Ihsahn's solo work yet. The inclusion of screeching saxophones work well with the heavy black metal riffs. My favorite surprise of 2010 yet.

Perfect performance, but angL was way better imo.
