My GF and I signed up for a veggie CSA from a local farm. Just got out first batch of veg. SOOOO good. I don't think I can go back to supermarket produce after this.
@capslock guy, you're not a criminal, you were banned for posting mysoginy. If you think that is something you should celebrate, I feel like we might end up in the same situation, just permanent.

Haven't listened to any metal for almost 2 years even though I still regularly check new stuff here and this is the first album that sounds actually intresting new and fun to me.
Haven't done much music exploration this year but this album is definitely my most listened to, really good stuff. Pyramids and Leviathan probably take the next two places, so far. I think I like it more than the previous now. I thought it was a bit sugary at first but it has a surprising amount of re-playability. I've seen a few people complain about the last track, but I really like it. Reminds me a bit of Waters of (Wat)Ain at points for some reason.
Yup, tried it again to make sure, but even though being stylistically similar the songwriting is a lot better in this one.
To be honest this album is almost nothing like the previous musically so not surprised you like one and not the other. The last one was a sort of slightly proggy, psychedelic infused mixture of black, death and thrash, whereas this one is more of a straight up, melody oriented heavy metal / faux-metal hard rock album with a bit of a gothic touch here and there, and black-ish vocals of course. I love both, and they both have a similar signature sound to them, but they're extremely different in the end.
This is why I can't get into this one. I can't find a vibe or get it's mood. It seems neither here nor there.
I think it was instant love for me, which worried me because usually albums like that get boring quite rapidly. It's both simple and deep at the same time, which is a pretty rare quality.
I really didn't like it a lot when I first heard it. That is one of my absolute favorite the Cure song and they NAILED the instrumental part... but the vocals sound so out of place.
A+ for effort though.

Not a bad album, but not great too.. It still has that "feeling", but it lacks the energy and the awesome outbreaks their previous album had... It's less death metalish, which is a shame as they played Awesome death metal...

Υou've sold your human essence to the cold world of dead and empty things... You're SOLD!
This album is very very good, amazing blend of genres. The Motherhood of God is just a phenomenal track and one of the best songs i've listened the whole year. Great drive.
