| Too low rating IMO, though it's the worst CoF album for me... Originality 2 isn't true, I think it's just to have a total rating under the 6.0... |

| .. I love the album, and I really don't get why people are so negative about it. I love every single track of the album, and Nymphetamine too .. |

I already have mine friend  and please before you start to acuse me for a tr00 necro frostbitten eltist, I liked all Satyricon's previous albums
including the much hated Volcano. I have to say Now, Diabolical has a good production and the songs are catchy, unfortunally all the songs are the same and gets boring really fast, I don't mind that they were softer on this album but they should have put more depth and variety to it. |

I agree |

|
| one small point, Adrian DID record the drumming for this album. He left almost immediately after the recording. |
|
|
|
| sigh* one of the most terrible and forgetable collection of crap that ive ever wasted my life listening to. I know people will get angry but these people dont realize what cradle of filth used to be and are probably 14 year old kids who like soil work. cheers from aus |
|
|
|
| The album sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
|
| again.. the same as Nymphetamine to me... nothing new. And still, the best tracks are the ones with most commercial appeal: Cemetary And Sundown, Lovesick For Mina and Tonight In Flames. |
|
|
|
| I think this is a great album, ofcourse if compared to older stuff I can see why people might hate it. But CoF is not the same CoF like it was before...I like how the keyboards are more in the background and the more guitar driven sound. |
|
|
|
| Probably one of the worst albums i've ever heard in my life... pathetic that this trash is allowed out on the market. |

Duuuuude!CoF in NOT black metal.Besides,this is so soft and weak,it got me so frekin' pissed when I listened to it.CoF is my all-time favourite band,and all of their albums (even Nyphetamine) are really great,but this.....Utter disaster.Dani,I thought you didn't have it in you to make shit of this magnitude.... |

|
| I understand why fans don't like this album.But to be honest,this album as an album itself is so powerfull!I am amazed with the music,it has lots of thrash influence and the riffs like Tonight In Flames blows my mind!!!I wolud give it 10 but of course i repeat for me this is excelent album but for the fans it is lower than their older stuff. |
|
|
|
| I actually enjoy this album, despite what most people think about it. It's very different from their old albums and even Nymphetamine. It does get boring at parts, but when it does, I skip to a new song. :p |

Wholly agree! I never liked CoF before ( hate it, to be honest ), but this one is good, especially Tonight in flames. Fuckin great song! |

I belong with the crowd who don't get why people dislike this album - I think it is absolutely great - a bunch of great songs on there. I would rate it in the 8.5-9 range.
Admittedly I have not heard much CoF - so have no idea just how different it is to their other releases. But frankly I don't care - a great album is a great album. |
|

I agree with Jan. i loved this album and thought it was a great follow up to nymphetamine.
Its heavy, melodic and epic.
The only song i dont like on it is temptation, but that is a cover so its not so disapointing and can be easily skipped over.
Definately one of my favorite CoF albums. |
|
|
|
| Btw i hate bands like soilwork and CoF has been one of my favorite bands for around 6 years. |

No wonder you like this shit if you think recent Satyricon is good.
You're one of those who like that kind of pseudo-extreme garbage targeted at teenagers some people falsely label as Black Metal.
You're right when you put both albums on the same level: they both suck.
"You really hear music on this album and you hardly get this in BM". Thanks for proving my point. |

|
| Yeah this album fucking sucks, but at least Godspeed rocks... And it's actually Dirty Harry (a WOMAN) singing on Temptation. |

I really hope you've seen a psy since you wrote this absolute nonsense, dude... 8??? 8 means VERY GOOD ans this album can't even be called good. Black Metal??? That again? gnuh. Lately??? BM was never meant to be the most melodic genre. Diabolical is good??? Oh my. Anyway, this was 3 years ago, I hope you've changed your mind or at least got to know what black metal actually IS. |

| When I first heard this album it sounded like a complete travesty to their core sound. I was actually fond of Nymphetamine and this is even a big change from that album. But I have to say that over time this one has actually aged kind of well. In fact I dare say it's not a bad album at all. It may be the weakest of their discography but it's still enjoyable to listen to. The songwriting is simplified, yes, but the riffs can be rather catchy and the melodies do stick, and that's important for shelf life. Dani's vocals are frailed in comparison to older times but somehow there's charm in them and it even suits the stylistic change the rest of the band is going for. The one downer I'd say is the lyrics which have lost the poetic potency they once did but no matter. The music and songs are still good I think and therefore it's worth hearing. |

Agreed! It's strange too because when they returned to a more faster and more traditional COF sound on Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder, though it initially sounds good to the ears, the songs themselves don't tend to stick with you the more you listen to it and the songwriting also is weak for maybe half of that album. So when you compare that with this one, for me, it goes to show you that even when you add in speed and aggression it doesn't automatically make the music better for it. Granted, I still like the Godspeed album but it's surprisingly not much better than this album as a whole given what I just said about it. |

| This album rulzzzz the special edition rulzzzz even more.....some people just can´t understand the music sometimes......and why put out albums like cruelty and the beast all the time ? that is stupid....to put out stuff you have done before ? that will make it a self repeating shit (MEDIOCRITY)...the album comes out just the way those musicians were feeling it at that time, I have a neighbor that listen to guns n roses all day long and it seems like there´s no other band ( for him) |
