Need to listen to it a bit more before making a firm opinion but so far it sounds nice but not so brutal nor "powerful" as Evangelion for instance. I guess that Behemoth are like Cradle of Filth or Dimmu Borgir, ie growing mature hence not as dark as they used to be. But as said before, I need to give it a few tries before making sure about my feelings

cradle of filth or dimmu borgir!?!?!?!?!
now, i laugh a lot for your post
are you ok?? why rigmarole defiance, what do you say for yourself?
go and listen to BehemotH a lot...then you can understand the things ov behemoth and black metal (death)...
hey my friend go and kill yourself
i am waiting for your funeral...it should be dark when i am hearse

I don't know if I should waste time answering this kind of comment... If someone understood it all please forward

To make things clear I like all CoF albums even tho the latest one really lacks identity. The same goes with Dimmu Borgir, tho I enjoy Abrahadabra but would love to see them making music without a 50 person orchestra As for Behemoth, what I meant was that this album reminds me of CoF or DB as it is very different from what they used to do before. Now that I have listened to the full album I think that it definitely lacks something. It sounds good but is not typical of Behemoth. It's not brutal nor powerful and it finds me a bit bored in the end. Maybe I expected too much from it.

@Zepar : I feel sorry for your mental disease ^^

I really don't understand all the raving about this album.

I'll now go back to Satanica, Thelema.6 and Zos Kia Cultus (Here And Beyond). That's where it's at with Behemoth truly the Pinnacle of their career.

Booooooring, sounds like cv

Is it really that bad, because you rate it with a 5?

5 = extremely average and mediocre, not "bad". Competent musicianship, understanding of instrumentation and orchestration but almost no quality and memorable songwriting or variation. I imagine that's how Marcel feels about this, because that's certainly how I do.

The album is not good. It is below average (which is a 6) so it deserves a 5 (which means not good here). A 7 means good, which it is not.

Stunningly good.

ha ha okay you are right.
anyway, this band is great with the satanist album.

Through my second listen, and I really am enjoying this. Not excellent, but not too shabby either. Definitely feels more dynamic than Demigod and the terribly generic death metal album that was The Apostasy. Evangelion showed a possible step up, and the band delivered here. However, it's still nothing overly grandiose to the point of blowing your socks off. Typical Behemoth, with some minor improvements. I'd give it a 7, maybe a 7.5

Some of Nergal's best lyrics as well on this one. A perfect score for me after about 20 listens.

Since it came out. I have an hour-plus ride to work, so there and back I get 2 listens. Plus at home an easy 3-4 more. It's only about 45 minutes so it's easy to rack up the listens of this album

Lyrics? all t"he lyrics" in this album are: Satan, Satan, Hell, (rare god name) , satan, illuminati .

Hmm definitely I'm not getting into it... Will listen again to Evangelion to compare both.

This band is really boring!

Come on, the lyrics on this are terrible, hahah.

What little I have heard from this album music-wise is actually not bad, which frankly surprised me as I didn't think I'd like this but lyrics are terrible. Not just in terms of meaning, or lack of thereof, but they also sound quite bad and have really bad flow. I know it is extreme metal, so stuff don't have to rhyme and all but this would even sound awkward if it was read up in prose.

There's no such rule that in extreme metal lyrics don't have to rhyme And the prose thing applies to 95% of metal lyrics probably

There is no such rule indeed, but if you clean sing and your lyrics don't rhyme in any way they often come out awkward. If you growl or scream them then that problem evaporates.

And yeah but in general I think most metal lyrics suck. Not a lyricist's genre by any means hahah.

Very mixed feelings about this album. drums are the best I've heard in a loooooong time but still not as good as their previous stuff. some parts sound very un-behemothish and besides a few moments I haven't been impressed that much. (which previous albums did but maybe my taste also just changed)
album is overall enjoyable and luckily better then expected but it's not a new behemoth masterpiece.

After hearing their entire discography I have to say that Zos Kia Cultus and Demigod are the best. The Satanist is somewhere in the middle.

I rate it 10 because this is amazing

Since you have heard so little, I don't really take anything you say with anything other than laughable apathy. When you hear the whole, then I'll just probably completely apathetic. Amazing work in every facet of this album.

I have read all the lyrics. But as I said they suck major ass, and I have not commented on anything else really. Aside from the laughable lyrics, probably this would turn out to be another generic "satanic" extreme metal release with some occasionally enjoyable, but absolutely generic music and totally ridiculous and unnecessary imagery that only serves to convince me more and more how childish this genre is .

And yet, the album is still perfect.

Some people are really easily pleased since this album is just not good at all, even within the Behemoth discography it sits underneath the middle era. Damn, it is surprising how loads of people really do believe the hype.

Or maybe...just maybe...your opinion is just your opinion?

I can easily say it's amazing how many people don't hear the perfection, and I am no less wrong or right than you.

Let's put it this way... Lover's gonna lo\ve. And that is totally clear with this album. There is totally no perfection in this album whatsoever, first of alll the lyrics are totally bad and secondly the music is as mundane as it can get in this subgenre.
