This site has a very skewed perspective on the last couple of albums. Passion was probably one of the most underwhelming albums of 'Rakh's career, and I felt that I shared that opinion with quite a few of their more hardcore fans. When this released, the first couple of listens were all I needed to make the decision that this was a ways better than that, and was on par with 'Constellations'.
But somehow 'Passion' has around the same rating as this, and has a better rating than 'Constellations'? I...don't understand that. At all.
Oh well, I'm probably taking the ratings here a bit too seriously. Album rules, \m/, etc.

Lol. Yea, you are. Aside from that it's just users opinions. AR are probably not a well known enough band to be subject to Ratings abuse but ya never know so that could be part of it too.
I only recently finally started loving this band with this release, in prior years I have just never gotten into them and I have been playing catch up so I can't really form an opinion of Passion over Constellations or Vanitas yet other than to say that Vanitas and Constellations are defintitely amazing albums.

I wouldn't be too hard on him. Noise both a vague word in the English language and a specific genre of music. "That noise is giving me a headache" doesn't mean somebody's blasting a Merzbow record outside your window, any more than calling music heavy means you think it's traditional heavy metal.

This scream at the end of "Forging Towards The Sunset" is epic. Quality album.

Take a look at the number 1 album's for the past few years:
2006: 9.08
2007: 8.90
2008: 8.86
2009: 8.88
2010: 8.76
2011: 8.60
2012: 8.59
Either rating abuse is getting worse, or music in general is getting worse. I think I know which it is haha.
If this album was released a few years back, it would probably be rated 8.4-8.5.

I think that the fact that more and more users register to the site each year has something to do, since the top albums receive bigger amounts of votes each year and more opinions clash.
It's just a theory, but one would have to compare the amount of votes for each no.1 album as well.

I'm not a big fan of this kind of metal... in overall it's too hardcore, too loud, noisy and chaotic for me. So after first listening I said "that's enough". But there is something in that album what have left in my mind and forced me to listen to it again... and again... and again. Now I can't stop listen to it and every time I discover new amazing parts. There are some parts of vocals making me screaming with Anaal, there are amazing rhythmic parts with powerful guitars, sometimes bass plays something amazing for 2-3 seconds... I'm totally crashed and by Vanitas  Perfect album.

This is what extreme metal should sound like in my opinion - brutal, chaotic but at times epic and melodic. I really liked they previous couple of albums but "Vanitas" just turned me inside out.

One of the best extreme metal releases of 2012, and consequently one of the best albums by Anaal Nathrakh. 'Todos somos Humanos' and epic closer 'A metaphor for the dead' in particular amaze me with their songwriting.
