Emperor was able to articulate the thematics of the album uniformly, and gave the term "Concept album" a different view. The theatricality of Emperor is better reflected in the emotions of the album. Here it gives us a landscape of human nature, that, from everyone's view is quite exagerated, but from Emperor's view is essential.
Emperor is the only band that has suffered these kinds of changes over the years, and the only band that has accepted them, and made beautiful music with them. What else can i say? it's just Perfect.

One of my favourite albums, their second best after Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk. Very nice Symphonic stuff...

probably my second favourite also.. I have it on right now.. hahaha - it is an utterly fantastic album people who only like badly produced black metal and all that lot probably wont appriciate it - but people who do appreciate a wider range of music quite rightly love this album

Althou I almost completly disagree with some points in the review, I don't think this is a bad album. Definetly the worst of all their releases, but still good in general view. All in all, another decent emperial album.

Way overrated IMO. If any of their albums deserve a rating this high than it would be 'In The Nightside Eclipse'.
---- Having a signature is an absolute must.

I agree its techiqualm I think Ihsna is to intellectual to be 100% stereo generic Blackist, he needs avant-garde somehow, to heavy intellect and they did not play matchies game to, they was silent while hates did burn
