I honestly hope he is just very successful at trolling. I find him hilarious with the language he uses in his reviews and stuff, but I also get why no one wants to be roasted by their peers

Don't give me a reason to start hawking your edits looking for a reason to remove your earned permissions. You can ask Cynic how annoying it is to lose those perms over something so silly.

That should be clearly stated somewhere, I didn't know that either.

I'd have thought it was common sense since it's standard practice on any database website. And I actually thought we added that one somewhere before but alas I couldn't find it, so touché to the technicality and thank you for revealing this flaw to me. It shall be rectified asap.
So their new opws is available for you to hear and what can i say.... it is amazing !! Time will tell though but i have allready heard it once and it rocks . I don't want to reveal anything else . Let the travel begin !
What a fantastic album! Every track here is great. This will make a lot of end-of-year lists for sure. My only minor gripe being with the production. Favorite tracks: Crashland, Game Over, Demon, Pale.
I'm surprised with how much I enjoy this album. Sideshow Symphonies was a complete dud to me and La Masquerade Infernale has never interested me at all. In fact, the only Arcturus album that has consistently been enjoyable to me is The Sham Mirrors, but this thing is just so damn good. The strings accent the more traditional "metal" instrumentation amazingly, and the vocal delivery is phenomenal while being amusingly quirky at times. I have a feeling this will be my go-to "fun" album for the coming weeks, and potentially the rest of the year if it holds up through repeated listens.
Wow, lots of hype on this one. I really enjoyed Sideshow Symphonies and La Masquerade Infernale (those are my two favourites if I had to be honest), but if this one is even better, I'll have to get on this ASAP.
Another stunning performance from ICS Vortex, perhaps the most talented vocalist in metal today. I still can't believe I did not know it was him in this group. For shame. Anyways, splendid use of classical and electronic elements that never becomes cliché or overdone. The rare comeback album that delivers on its promise of a "magnum opus." I may not be a long-time fan, but I think that only further shows the power of this album. Like others, this clicked pretty instantly whereas repeat listens of fan-favorites have done little for me. There are some issues with the mix feeling a bit flat when the guitar distortion takes prominence, but the songwriting makes up for it. *Enjoyability=8.7 Musicianship=8.9 Innovation=9.3 Overall=9.1* Full review HERE
I don't see the fuss, I guess when it's better than Sideshow Symphonies, people get way more excited than they should.
The fuss for me personally is that I simply don't enjoy Arcturus (aside from The Sham Mirrors which still only gets a 7 from me) and then this album just fucking clicked instantly. I've gone through it three times so far and it has only gotten better with further exposure, and personally I would call it Arcturus' finest album. I really doubt anyone shares my opinion, but at any rate, that's the "fuss" for me.
Well, apparently you're not the only one after all. I was never a huuuge Arcturus fan and I try to judge this not just as an Arcturus release, but both ways it's quite average to me.

Wow, and I haven't been into Arcturus as well, yet everybody keeps getting the same opinion, I think I'm gonna check this one then

It's too early for me to say where I think it ranks relative to Arcturus' prior accomplishments, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. My highlight is definitely Warp.
