Rating:
7.8
The low-key, reflective "Stolen Years" and suspiciously danceable "To Hell Or The Hangman" painted Exile Amongst The Ruins as an unusual progression for Primordial, but in truth the band's typically bleak and battering black metal remains largely intact. Rather than the stylistic approach, it is the band's ineluctable presence that has shifted gears, diminishing somewhat from the overwhelming aura Primordial has always projected.

Can someone please explain to me why the MS crowd so much hails a monotonous song that on top is danceable?

The MS crowd loves to dance.

Yeah I don't know what's wrong with this people. To Hell Or The Hangman as the best song and overshadowing the rest? Pfffff

If you wanna dance just go get drunk in a disco.

I think what's been lost in translation is how those of us who recognize the catchiest song for what it is still acknowledge that the rest of the album is excellent in its own right, though for different reasons.

I'm just getting into this band and I have to say, I like it a lot. I actually recall listening to 'A Journeys End' in high school and disliking it. It's amazing how tastes change.

Revisited this album again. Still found 'Nail their Tongues' to be better than'to hell or hangman'. Also like the disc 2 tracks more than the disc one tracks.
