| I agree, that's a good review |

| It's really not my job to bash Dimmu Borgir on every corner of this forum, but this album was just bad. It barely had any metal feeling, I agree that the sympho parts are great, but they exagerated with it. |

| Pfft. Listened to it a lot of times, over a timespan of about a year, and then decided to throw it away. All I say is, luckily I had a burnt version. |

| I didn't like it at first, but now I think it's pretty good. I can't really listen to it from start to finish though. The symphonic elements are great I really like Shagrath's voice. |

I have to say I stopped listening to Dimmu Borgir for quite some time although I must say this is my most favorite release of theirs if I'm in a melodic mood.
I have one question though... What's wrong with the audio quality? It's so quiet and subdued compared to Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. Did they get cheap knowing they would still make a lot of money anyway? Does anyone know the answer to this enigma? |

Bands usually screw up like that when they try to overproduce an album. I didn't think it was that quiet though, but it still had worse sound quality than PEM. Do you have a bad copy maybe? |

You can tell it's not as loud if you play it after a song of higher quality. Moreover, you can especially tell if you look at the sound scope and you'll soon notice that the sound waves don't nearly jump as high as they would otherwise. Just listen to Puritanical Euphoric M... and you'll notice a difference.
The other casualty to this is Dark Lunacy's newest CD, "The Diarist." I downloaded the CD before I bought it and it was so bad that I cancelled my order. In addition, I downloaded it from a pay site, which guarantees high quality just incase you're wondering. |

| lol damn dude, that's pretty serious. I can honestly say that I've never looked at the sound scope of an album and analyze it. Maybe I should... |

|
| This was another one of my favorite Dimmu Borgir albums and again it got boring. I don't know what's going on with this band. I mean I like the melodicness of the band it's just AHHH!! It's boring to me, and it pisses me off. |

My favorite Dimmu album, pretty good review as well.
P.S.-this is my 500th post.  |

If you want black metal, check out some other band.
My fav. "BM" release beacuse of the orchestra - awesome! |
|
|
|
| Ah, this album is ok, the older ones are much better, but the thing that gets my attraction on this album is the orchestra. I would give it a 7 or 6. This album was overhyped, theres other releases from that year I'd rather give an 8.5. |

This is maybe the best Dimmu Borgir ever! The Symphonic parts really gives it a feel of Armageddon is around you. It makes you feel powerfull and majestetic^^
Hail, Dimmu Borgir!  |

I liked the review. Actually, this is my favorite Dimmu Borgir album, but the review is fair, and so the rating is.

It also happens to my copy. If I listen to "Progenies of the great apocalypse" with my copy in my computer and then in the Myspace page, it sounds much more louder in the Myspace. |

| No matter what some people say, I think this album is a landmark and a masterpiece. Brilliant musicianship and compositions. |

I didn't know that abbath was a guest vocalist here! (however only in limited parts?)
good review.  |

| I love this album, probably my favorite by them. |
|
|
|
| Amazing review and album. The symphonic is overhwlming and epic. Great album. |

They made the orchestra play what the guitarists should have played. They made the guitarists play what the orchestra should have played. If they reversed who did what I would have liked this a ton more!
I will say that the opening track's lyrics should be rewritten to open a batman movie. It would have worked because as soon as I heard that I just though "BAAATMAAAAN!" in gutteral vocals. |

hahahaha  True. ''Progenies of the great apocalypse'' looks like Gotham City's theme! |
