So am I the only one who thinks that the last 1:30 or so of "Land of Canaan" is very reminiscent of Boney M's "Rasputin?"
Oh well, at least it contains more actual metal than Kamelot.

If it is Failstorm as you say, then why are you here? Everyone has an opinion and he states it, whenever it is a review or a post underneath or a post somewhere in the forum or anything, even in a good or bad manner, but what is good or bad in what you express is subjective, like the term opinion.

I agree with you. Problem is fanboys are offended as soon as someone doesn't praise an album they like and give it a 9+ rating. Fanboys/fangirls never learned to deal with criticism or simply ignore it when they disagree.

It is perfectly normal to compare the new albums of a band to their old ones and expect at least the same quality or better. That's also how we measure musical evolution. Because there's a huge difference between change and evolution. A difference lots of people miss quite often nowadays.
As for "taking it for what it is", some albums just suck, no matter how you look at them. If you push this reasoning too far, it becomes a way to encourage mediocrity by saying crappy albums are good.

Quote: "Taste the tempting Fruit and be an Outcast from the Paradise."
Is this a direct quote from the lyrics or something? One of non-native speakers biggest difficulties is the proper use of THE. "THE" isn't used for things that are general like locations including PARADISE. Unless this "paradise" which is mentioned loosely in that particular set of lyrics has been mentioned before more specifically as being a special paradise related to the song and or story, THE is being used improperly. You wouldn't say I'm going to The New York, The Hell, or The Mars. Hopefully that's the only mistake otherwise I'd be a bit apprehensive about listening to something grammatically flawed throughout.

You are wrong here :
"Taste the tempting Fruit and be an Outcast from the Paradise" has a different meaning than Taste the tempting Fruit and be an Outcast from Paradise, at least in my language (Portuguese)
Check google translation

Same works in my language as well, it gives a more specific meaning with emphasis on THE paradise, or something like that.

Wrong, wrong and extra wrong across the board. Regardless of how well it translates into your own language and then translates into English, THE PARADISE is an incorrect use of THE in the English language.
I'm an English teacher and do professional translations in my spare time. Asking me to check Google translation is fucking laughable at best. Daniell, nothing you said makes any sense considering everything I wrote is grammatically correct. Therion's use of "THE" is being used improperly. Go wrestle with that one.
Any time you non-native speakers want to step up and test me feel free. I get paid R$50+ an hour for this shit and accept payments via PayPal. Thanks for stopping by and please come again.

Send a mail to google then, you found (another) bug there! Congrats!
You're a English teacher? Ohh.... I see checking google Fucking Translate made you laugh! And you thought i was a warlock to guess that, nice one!!... Duh !
Your arrogance is kind of displaced also, btw
Thanks for sharing. No money for you, you native! (ever )
P.S. - Anyway i give you credit, and i do believe you are totally right, just 4 u to know.
""THE" isn't used for things that are general like locations including PARADISE." - Hmmmmm Gimmie the directions to Paradise!
"Unless this "paradise" which is mentioned loosely in that particular set of lyrics has been mentioned before more specifically as being a special paradise related to the song and or story" - And it isn't ???

So much drama for an album that still not even available in the US . I feel like I've grown up with the album already, watched it mature, and then became bored with it. I'm skeptical about the review, since the samples sound monotonous online and I haven't cared much for this band since Deggial and a few random songs after, but I'll still check it out. That is, when Nuclear Blast decides to stop holding it hostage.

You are one arrogant tosspot, I'll give you that.
You are of course right about that paradise problem, but you're wrong here:
Quote:

The present Continuous Tense has the following uses:
http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/presentcontinuous.html
You used it incorrectly in the sentence I quoted.
Go, read, learn. Do all that before spitting your arrogance on people.
Oh, also give back the money you take from people for teaching them, because your English sucks.
Since this anyway pointless discussion is completely off-topic, please limit your imminent hateful response to a PM. I implore you.

To ponderer:
I don't care if you're a native speaker, how many years you've taught English, or even that you know where and when to use BEING in a sentence. Your comment about Germany makes everything else irrelevant. Because it shows you for the pitiful little person you are. You and your kind deserve nothing better than to be spat at and ignored. With so many lives of your countryman and other people gone to fight Germany, your comment should make you be ashamed of yourself. May you and all of us never know the pain and sorrow suffered by the people of that time, but your arrogant childish ignorance makes me wish you'll know just a tiny little bit. Just so you'd realize what a sad little person you are.

Below is ponderer's PM to me about this subject:
Quote: You are easily the dumbest motherfucker I've ever met online. I've met a lot of stupid assholes in my time but you take the fucking cake buddy. I didn't really expect some Polack retard to even attempt to confront me openly so I'll give you credit for that, but you've made yourself look like a complete fucking retard in front of everyone at this point.
The only thing that'll save you now is to ban me for life.

Um... "since this anyway pointless discussion" is totally incorrect grammar genius. You have amazing English skills and you actually have the balls to confront a native English speaker with that shit?!?!??! You really put your foot in it now.
So let me get this straight, you get to reply here and make a total ass of yourself because you know NOTHING about English and I'm supposed to use a PM?
BLOW ME
I've been teaching English for the last 13 years and I sure the fuck know when and where to use BEING in a sentence. Like some non-native doucheabag Eurotard troll is going to come on here and tell me how to do my job? I don't think so son. Why don't you go back to whatever passes for school in Poland, get some English skills before you start making a complete fucking ass of yourself on an open forum, and then go troll someone else because quite frankly I'm sick of listening to your stupid bullshit on here.
EVER WONDER WHY NOT ONE FUCKING NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER BOTHERED TO POST ON THIS THREAD? That's right. They are all laughing at your stupid ass. You wanted a piece of me, you got it buddy. I'm not about to take any shit from some Polak.
I am curious about something though... what was it like having your country raped by Germans and then ignored by the rest of the world?
You might as well fucking ban me now because I'm never going to relent. You called me out and you are going to pay.
MAN! What a stupid SON OF A B****!!!!!
I hope you drown soon on your own feces for that sentence! Stupid fucking retard ! You're a teacher? Of what? Stupidity and arrogance? You're simply the most retarded / arrogant guy I've seen online, And i really do hope they ban you, you son of a pathetic person!
Don't even try to insult me. You are ignored so far, you nazi bastard!

To all those who have a problem with Ponderer:
He's indeed arrogant and retarded. So hopeless there's nothing to do with him. I realized this after some discussion and stopped replying to him.
And he said after a while that "it should be continued on PMs". I told him to fuck off. He doesn't worth the attention. He's ignorant and hopeless anyway.
He's stuck in the past and should have stayed in the 80s, where he belongs. There's nothing worse than those people stuck in the past who believe they know everything better than others and refuse to accept that things change with time. All they do is spitting their bitterness on boards because they try to fight changes, a fight lost in advance.
That's why I despise and hate traditional Heavy Metal lovers in general (though many of them are fine - but you also get lots of unpleasant people like Ponderer from fans of this genre).

That's right everyone, I'm old. I'm obviously the worst of my kind. My BEING old is my biggest fault as a human being and my BEING rude to daniell the Polish troll is me just BEING an asshole. THE lunch is ready so I need to go eat THE lunch. Feel free to perm ban me from THE Metalstorm for having my own opinion and not bowing down to some guy who can barely construct a coherent sentence in THE English.

Don't be a jerk, anyone with a brain would notice that people are against your arrogance and SPECIALLY your "nazi" sentence.
It has nothing to do with English or your age. At least from my pov.
The Paradise can be a entity also. At least i think it can...
You can call some island a Paradise and refer to that as " I wish i'll go to paradise". (the island) or "I wish I'll go to "the Paradise"" (entity).
Am i wrong? Possibly I am (I am not "native", and I know I have my limitations)
C'mon, tell, i'll give ya 5 cents
