Anathema adopt a less rock-oriented approach, with added electronic elements for interesting but mixed results. Read more ›› |

Anathema, Opeth, Mastodon, Ihsahn, and numerous other major artists are all moving out of the metal scene. Many of their newer works are receiving lower scores for not being "metal enough" and going too far outside of the acceptable boundaries of fans of their earlier work. Is the mixed reception for Distant Satellites another result of this phenomenon? In my opinion, yes. Read more ›› |

The members of this website are terrible people for maintaining the average grade at just 7.8

Written by Passenger on 11.10.2014 at 00:11 Sorry, but the album pales even in comparison with the other atmospheric/experimental works they did. 7.7-7.8 is still big IMO. I give it around 6.5.

It was a joke, people  I just think it's on par with their previous two albums, The Lost Song parts are pure brilliance. Most of all, I'm surprised with the below 8 rating.

I loved this album when it first came out, but it really didn't have any staying power at all. A shame, really.

Written by skydancer79 on 14.05.2019 at 00:11 well to be honest I don't think that Distant Satellites is great. It has good moments, sure, but We're Here... and Weather Systems are much better on all levels

It's alright, nothing special, not highly dissapointing either. I'm listening to it now, don't remember if I have heard it before and forgotten everything, don't know if I'll ever listen to it again fully. I'm preferring "The Lost Song Part 2" and the title track to others for now, and it's likely I'll return these songs and most of the other songs will be neglected.

Written by JOPE OF STEELE on 22.05.2020 at 21:39 My favourites here are The Lost Song Part 1 and Anathema. Yeah, an alright album (7.3) but I dont know if I have returned to this album anytime after 2014 or when I am going to do it next time.

It's... ok. I remember being very disappointed after loving Weather Systems to death, but Distant Satellites isn't bad at all. The bar is already set so high with the band's output that unless the record's something revolutionary and mindblowing it tends to not feel as high quality as it could if it was released by some another band.
