I thought it was their best effort so far.

Great album from a great band. Although... I could not find a song that thrilled me as much as "A Parenthisis in Eternity" did on their previous album. "Illuminoid Dream Sequence" does a good job on this one but it didn't have the same impact. I had slightly higher expectations for this one hence only an 8 for now.

Excellent album. The only song that feels a bit weak to me is Domination Agenda.

I am revising my rating (previously 9) on this one. I have listened to it since release, and it just gets better and better for me. This is one of the greatest albums ever made in this genre, if not metal as a whole.

I agree with the above guy, gets better after a few spins. Its definetly better than Dark Matter Dimensions and hopefully puts SS back on track to make the quality of music they made when Alvestam was the star of the show.

Ok, a bit of story if anyone cares to listen.
I had all 4 previous SS albums in my collection. For some odd reason, I never managed to listen to any of them. Now I had heard only good things about the band. And with them dropping their 5th album, it was high time I had a crack at them. And what I have listened to, I have definitely liked and enjoyed. Going back to all their previous albums now. It's a journey I'm looking forward to now !!!

1st half of the albums is far bette rthan the last 3 songs though

Please think about it once again: "This is one of the greatest albums ever made in this genre, if not metal as a whole."
I can name tons of better metal albums and bands... This is a quite good album but not a masterpiece in any part or element of it.

MetalHOE - thank you for your input, but I have thought about it long and hard, believe me. Just because you can name other bands and albums which you find better or more interesting doesn't mean I have to feel different or change my mind. This is the album of the year for me thus far. Hands down.

Oh wow. So I am not alone. Even I have thought on exactly the same lines. Just revised my own rating from a 9 to 10 recently. This is a truly fantastic album !!

Well, we're waiting for this list of tons of other metal bands to check out... or are you all smack talk?

I don't think he meant he was going to supply a list of better albums than this. He said he can think of albums that are masterpieces and this isn't one of them.
After all, providing a list of albums better than this would take way too long to write.

No one is asking for a massive list, just name a few for comparative purposes. We would like to know that we are comparing apples to apples here. I mean, really anyone can SAY that Yanni is better, but then again that wouldn't really fly here on Metalstorm would it?

Okay, for albums that are much better than this in similar category (melodeath)...well I guess listing bands that are better might be easier:
Dark Tranquillity, Amon Amarth, Edge of Sanity, Insomnium, Be'lakor, Omnium Gatherum, Mors Principium Est, In Flames (old), Hypocrisy...
Bands on the SS level: Soilwork, Disarmonia Mundi, Noumena, Mercenary, Skyfire...

Thank you. For the most part I agree. Although nothing after Colony was very noteworthy, I did like a few songs on Clayman. Dark Tranquillity can bore me sometimes, with too much of the same thing on a few albums. Natural Born Chaos will always be on my good list, and Mercenary's "Firesoul" still blows me away.

Dissapointing... Their early work was great but now I dont find a reason why I should continue listen to their next efforts...

Extremely disappointed. Not because Christian is not doing the vocals. Although he cannot reach Christian's awesomeness, Lars has become really adapt and great. It's just that the music is no way near anything they have done on their first three albums. Yeah there are a few catchy parts (The Anomaly is godlike) and really heavy stuff like Astronomicon. But apart from that the rest is quite forgettable. I don't know why they changed musically so much with Christian's departure.
