That's funny, because I think the opposite.
Still a great album though, but suffers from too many (short) tracks and a not every track is of the same quality, in my opinion.

I actually agree with MechanisT my favorite Saturnus album but not by a big margin from their other releases.

It's beyond me why this album is considered their best. Well, actually it isn't beyond me since this is their most catchy album by far, so that could explain it. Paradise Belongs to You and Saturn in Ascension (my two favourites, in that order) are way less accessible and catchy. But still far better for me because it goes further than these superficial songs. Sorry, I really like this album, but most of the songs on Martyre are a joke compared to the songs on "Paradise" and "Saturn". Keep in mind this is just my opinion.

My initial thoughts about Martyre were similar to yours, but with time I grew to love it's variation and quirkiness ... definitely not as monolithic as Paradise but it has an edge with the gothicy vibe and the neo-folk influences that puts it ahead of their other albums for me.

Really? Interesting... however, I've listened to this album a lot (at least 20 times I think) so it's not likely my opinion will change anymore. I actually liked it more at first but the more I listened to it, the less I liked it. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great album (hence the 8 rating) for me, but just incredibly inferior to (especially) Paradise Belongs to You and Saturn in Ascension. However, I do agree this album might have more variety on it than the other albums... pretty strange I think this album is Saturnus' weakest then, because I usually like the most varied stuff. But then again, I like longer epic songs way more than shorter (simple) songs, so it's still not that strange after all.

Finally I made my mind, Martyrs songwriting and originality are much superior to Veronika Decides to Die . (I hope I won't change my mind again on this )

A wonderful masterpiece, brilliant in is own way, nothing better, old good death/doom whit midwinter touches and his chose not growl extremely but a bit sing, hit a nail on it hed. It gave so deep emotions and lyrics are so poetical and deep. Its just perfect harmony, dark cold winter night(do they have those in Köbenhavn?) home alone, great craft beer, solitude, you're alone and spin this CD over and over again. In those days do they have mobile phones. Well if I listen such music I try switch it off.

I don't get why the praise for this band. I am sure I am wrong, but I just wanna know exactly why.

The transition from 7 to Inflame Thy Heart is one of the finest I've ever heard. So beautiful yet simple.

Another very good album, by a very good band, although I prefer Veronika Decides To Die, but tbf that album is just utter perfection.
