Good grief, Shining (NOR)! What is this nonsense with suddenly sounding all so logical and normal? What gives, men?

It's an approximation I guess. I doubt it will be released this year.
I certainly hope it does though.

Latest facebook update:

"Hey peeps,

It's been an extremely busy month: Drum recording, drum editing, bass tracking, sorting through record label contracts and management contracts, planning release schedule and tours, and preparing even more recording and production, along with mixing and mastering.

What's clear now is that I think this new album is going to be the best album we've ever made. But it's still a few months of heavy lifting left, hence the partial absence from us on this Facebook page.

More studio updates coming shortly!

Munkeby"

Best album of next year!

At least one one one of them.

Rating: 7 New track available for stream. Looks like the album will be more accessible than Blackjazz, or maybe it's two accessible songs and the rest fuck up your head just as in Blackjazz.

After these two tracks I honestly doubt it.

Interesting, reminds me a bit of Leprous in that track. Also SYL- or Deconstruction-era Devin Towsend. Regardless, I'm excited for this album.

Rating: 8 Well, after my first spin, my thoughts are :
- Yes, its way more accessible than Blackjazz , with almost no-schizophrenic moments
- being co-produced by Sean Beaven, is giving the album a more industrial metal/rock sound, at many moments it felt like a NIN song out off their heavier stuff, with the addition of some Shining crazy twists!
- Its FUCKEN SHORT , just around the half hour mark, with the longest song is 4:30 long!!

Mine felt exactly like that. Not bad at all, some increidible stuff in here, but I think I must retract my previous comment in this being this year's best album.

Rating: 7 One thing is for certain. This has nothing on Blackjazz.

  A nice exercise on catchy songwriting, but it's not as good as Grindstone or Blackjazz. Oh well, at least they once again did something different and the songs are good
PocketMetal - 08.04.2013 at 22:59  
  I liked it better than Blackjazz , Blackjazz annoyed me for the most part .

Sure its not even close to be considered one of the year best album(s), but still not a bad album, listenable, and more acceptable for the pussies who couldnt handle blackjazz madness

Rating: 8 After more spins, its really a catchy album, maybe not mind blowing as Blackjazz, yet its better than many of the generic shit out there

I completely agree with your assessment. I ended up with about the same rating, but fortunately I was able to find a few things I enjoyed on it.

But it made me want to listen to Blackjazz instead.
