I think the album starts to lose its power after the 9th song where the tracks starts to sound so ordinary and not interesting at all whereas the first 9 tracks were varied ,unique and utterly brilliant

I don't know anything about this album, but the use of upper-case in "ORwarriOR" really annoys me whenever I see it.

No you're not the only one. However, there are only a few moments on the album where an Opeth-style riff or passage is evident. Overall, the album is certainly worth the listen and you will find some of the songs will really grow on you through repeated listens.

I see where you are going with the Opeth comparison, there is a song where they use keyboards, can't remember which one, and the tone is very similar to Opeth's tone. That was the only thing I thought was similar.

Maybe Steven Wilson has something to do with that... just listen to that mellotron.

Not so picturesque as Mabool, but still good. A bit more technical then needed. Production killed some of the biblical feeling from Mabool.

This band would be way better without the Arabic stuff. It's cool but I don't know ><
I hate to criticize this album because they put so much work into it and in many ways it's a work of art.
But I just can't say I like it or like listening to it, and somehow as someone said it feels PRETENTIOUS. what the hell.
I think the problem of this album is that they "put so much work into it"... too much works kills inspiration and originality. Being an Arab, I love to see Arabic music incorporated into metal and Orphaned Land is the band which succeeded to do that in 3 albums. But this time the Arabic stuff doesn't fit the music... I listened several times to this album but didn't manage to get into it... It's unlike Mabool... I'm so much disappointed with my one of fav. bands....

I agree with you. I can't get into the music of this album at all. Good musicians who wanted too much and at the end they spoiled everything!

Fully agreed...they wanted all and they ended up with nothing special ,,,there are a lot songs that if they hadn't added it would be better...tey lost their focus in this one

I'm listening to it for the *insert some number here*-th time and I've realized that it's indeed good... too good for me. It lacks catchy melodies (unlike "Mabool") and it's more complicated so the listener has to think of the music and ATM I don't feel like thinking of it. Too bad, I really like the band.
It also could have sounded more oriental.

Good, No! Very good actually, but I don't think they can top Mabool. I don't know that for sure though, maybe in the future, they can prove me wrong.

I wonder what Muslims will think of "Disciples Of The Sacred Oath II". I've already heard some complaining about singing words from the Holy Qur'an, but hopefully everyone can see that it is done in a respectful manner- meant to emphasize the beauty of the words. Great album, I enjoy this one more than even Mabool.
I guess most Muslim metal fans wouldn't mind it... but don't know about the conservative close-minded bastards. Orphaned Land anyway is one of the most popular metal bands in the Middle East. it's almost the only Israeli musical act I know of which enjoys a considerable dedicated following in the Arab and Islamic World. This is not at all a small thing by an measure in the light of the relations between Israel and most Muslim countries.... hope the album is as great as Mabool, though this is not an easy task at all!
I don't mind it, but maybe some will? idk though
