With a lengthy streak of consistently impressive albums, Evergrey have increasingly been giving off the impression of being evergreen. However, nothing lasts forever, and with Theories Of Emptiness, there are perhaps signs that things may not stay rosy indefinitely. Read more ›› |

Didn't expect them to move on from Jacob Hansen. First single sounds promising, let's see!

Written by Callisto on 12.04.2024 at 11:25 Really?! Because there are much worse album covers than this. You can call it generic, I've seen similar covers, you can call it unoriginal, but ugly?! I don't think so...

Written by JoHn Doe on 12.04.2024 at 11:30 Really! It's like a bad slide from a 90's bad powerpoint presentation... It's also generic right, but is hard to remember an uglier cover...

Written by Callisto on 15.04.2024 at 08:31 I thought generic and unoriginal was bad enough.  I just don't find it ugly. It's not like I cringe when I see it, or find it annoying or appalling. If you find it ugly, fine. I've seen much worse than this (unfortunately).

Written by Callisto on 12.04.2024 at 11:25 I liked the style of their previous 4 album covers way more, but I don't hate this by any means

I have to agree, this cover art is pretty lame and boring. But ugly? I don't thinks so, but yeah, it's not 80's anymore when band members had to draw and paint everything themselves with zero budget and it was more rule than exception that cover arts looked like they were hideous on purpose. Like you can actually expect some quality from metal cover arts these days.
---- You've got a lot of guts. Let's see what they look like!

A bunch of overrecycled songs. Nothing original about this one. I think they should try new approaches to their sound, it's already time they move away from this Escape of the Phoenix formula, which worked pretty well for 2 records, but that now is worn off.

The album is better if you delete the last song. Totally irrelevant track imo.

Funny how Englund says "progress is paramount" in press release while completely retaining the last 2 albums approach, sometimes verbatim. Nothing bad about it however, I really liked them and this one is no exception.

I agree that they played it safe here, but I still found the music quite enjoyable.

As usual solid tracks overall with a few I love and will come back to. Opener is pretty good btu has nothing on "Save Us", midsection of "To Become Someone Else" was awesome, and "Cold Dreams" had some great moments too, especially when the speed arrives.

It's a tremendously solid album in my opinion I loved it, only like 2 songs I found as filler, but the songs that became my favorites and I've listened to them more than 20 times are: "Say" - "Ghost Of My Hero" "Say" is an exceptional song!.

I quite enjoyed this. not sure why people want bands to change their style every 2 albums. good compositions throughout, and instrumentation seems to get better with every album. I've been listening to this quite a lot since it's release

They had a few great songs and a couple of weak ones, but overall, this is a strong Evergrey record in their post-hiatus era.
