Shining - Redefining Darkness

Already?

Hells yeah

A new album?

I hope it's "nastier" than the current album.

In December? Maybe a Christmas album?

Nice to see a new album so soon.

Cool.

PLEASE be better that the last two albums... I still have faith in you guys!

Aleready ? The early bird catches the worm.

Gaahl? A guest? Yipee! This album just got a whole lot queerer

I expect at least one video with them making out or I'll be severely disappointed - regardless of the music.

Well I'll be damn... They did it, they fucking did it right this time.
Dare I say it? Yeah... This album is their best since IV (yes, It does feels like I like it even more than V).

Shining is back. FUCK YEAH.

I say "Kvarforth: stop making music because you suck many kinds of fat, hairy ass at it."

This record is mediocre at very best.

WHAT?! What did you say?!

I can't hear you over the sound of me enjoying this album and not giving a fuck!

The reason you can't hear me is because Shining's terrible music has permanently damaged your hearing and brain cells =P

Nah, I just took a shower and cleaned my ears of all the earwax. But thanks for your concern though!

Leaked already? Sweet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks a bunch, mate.
I'm not really sure what to think of this, to be honest. It kinda feels like it tries too hard to be V, but V it is not....

To me it's just as good if not better but I'm aware I'm pretty alone here (except Der probably).

But it's clear for me that this album is way better than both VI and VII. That's already nice news for me. The chugga chugga riffs I hated on VII only appear once in the last song and Kvarforth understood how to use his cleans.

I definitely don't love it, but it isn't terrible either. Decent enough release.

I guess old Shining fans can stop worrying about this band. VII: Född Förlorare and Redefining Darkness is just a horrible example of how the band can change from misanthropic Within Deep Dark Chambers to mtv modern metal like RD

I'm a rare breed then. I'm an old fan... Love everything from I to V... disliked VI... HATED VII, yet somehow I like this one a lot. Hahahahaha

All of you talk about being a Shining fan but you can't really understand the entire dimension of the band. I love EVERY Shining album. I would say the V: Halmstad is the better for the compositions and the reflection of the band's identity. And the VII: Född Förlorare is just a masterpiece because he's the most impregnated, the one which can take your feeling and go away forever. Just look at the cover. These three guys are not on lamentations as you think, they are crying for the beauty. EACH Shining album is a part of the puzzle. Redefining Darkness is one of them, you just have to find his path. Just listen it more than two times before rating it by 4 or 5. The cover will always talk for the album, don't forget it.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Still, I think Född Förlorare was not as solid as their previous works, despite being quite good.

I agree!

This album smashes!
this album puts the items of the old and new shining. It is a fusion of both. it is not as good as the V or VII, but worth the VI.
I put a 9.5 rounded to catch these notes shameful, 4 or 5.
sorry for my english.
