I listened to "February MMX" like 10 times in a row when I got the album. One of my tracks of the year so far. I also really like "September IV."

Yeah okay, I'm bumping this to a 4.

Oh, and isn't the title actually "Wars of the Roses?"

Absolutely. The poem they used is absolutely brilliant. Planning on looking up more of Waldrop's work at some point.



Hard for me to pick a favorite, really. Been leaning toward Island as of late. Just absolutely beautiful.

One of the best albums this year. All songs are great with the exception of "Stone Angels" which is hit or miss depending on mood. England rules too hard.

Sadly, they left black metal behind them quite some time ago.

I still think both Bergtatt and Nattens Madrigal are their best albums by far, but that isn't to say that their later stuff (at least what I've heard) isn't great too.

They did release two brilliant black metal albums, but their experimental side now far outreaches and outweighs their metal days. Plus, I think Shadows of the Sun is their magnum opus.

Shadows is definitely my favorite of their experimental days. This isn't too far behind.

Superb review man. One of the better to-the-point reviews I've read on this site in a long time. Void of the amateurish and redundant use of "I", love it. Pos from here.



Need to (pre-)order this now I guess. Have only listened to this a handful of times due to the sound quality, so I'm looking forward to hear this soon, as it should be heard.
