Why I don't like Dance Macabre: I like the ability of these guys to do modern twists and crossovers between "'80s metal cheese and retro-futuristic space rock". This song is just a commercial single directly from the 80's with no twist to it.

Why I don't like Pro Memoria:"don't you forget about dying, don't you forget about your friend death, don't you forget that you will diiiie"

I think he’s suggesting there’s “too much cheese” in Pro Memoria,

maybe the twist in Dance Macabre is to have no twist at all. I just don't get it lol and maybe the lyrics on ProMemoria are meant to be a joke, but its kinda lame joke imo

Tonight I've been jamming all their albums + EPs again in reverse chronology and I'm reminded again how good Meliora is. All things considered I think I still prefer Infestissumam to this as well.

I love the balladesque tone of Pro Memoria, the ending specially. Dance Macabre and that Instagram video infected me, now it's one of my favourites of the album.



Prequelle had/is having a hell of a marketing campaign.

I'm an Opus kid at heart, but I love the evolution of the band. Faith is easily rolling into my top 5 Ghost songs.

Man...been on their discog since Monday and, even though I tried, I'm not being able to listen to other thing lol. Meliora is the best for me. The debut is more "sabbathian awesome". Infestissumam explores more their psychedelic side, instead of riffing. This one is their "poppiest". But all of them provided me great experiences on every listen.

Deftone has a point when it comes to those two songs. Both are gimmicky to a fault. It's not out of character for Ghost, but it adds to my criticism of indulgence on their part. I noted in my review how in Ghost trying to be more mainstream they tailored their sound for a broader audience, however, being as gimmicky as they are will be a turn off when listening to songs like Pro Memoria and Dance Macabre. Pro Memoria comes off corny with all of the Lucifer references and death celebration aesthetic. Dance Macabre is more of an experimental track. I didn't think much of it, but it's definitely an ode to 80's love ballad songs. It's cheesy but tolerable.

How are See the Light and Life Eternal better? They also seem to lack the Ghost twist, just being generic power ballads.

This may be my record of the year at the moment. This is such a well crafted record, it flows perfectly, it covers so many different moods and tempos and it blends so well together. Major props to Ghost for creating a titan of a record that would fit seamlessly in the 70's/80s.

"lack the Ghost twist" That remark I made only for Dance Macabre, it feels old. The other ones are pretty "nowish", though always revivalists. But you got your point on the "ballads". I just like those

This has only grown on me. Even the gimmicky singles hit the spot. It's just the last two tracks that do nothing for me.

Never heard that one before!



Egarran, See the Light is one my favorites mainly because of that bridge.
