Einar was sick but his performance (even then) was even sicker! You could see that they chose few more falsetto songs than on other days of tour. Anyway, I can die in peace now as they finally played Slave live (the crowd demanded it so hard since before the show even started, you could hear people talking about how amazing it would be to hear it). I'm kinda sad they skipped by my throne and at the bottom but performance was lit anyway.



The ocean also crushed their set, Loic has gotten much better since the last time I've seen them in March this time hitting all hard spots perfectly. I happened to be under him when he jumped in which was nice, what I didn't like was the fact I brought wrong shoes with me and trying to save my toes in pogo that happened during Bathyapelagic was quite a challange.



Port Noir... well, I'd lie if I said I enjoyed that part of the concert. They weren't bad but painfully average. After hearing first 3 songs I decided to move to the smoking room while it's still relatively empty

Album Rating: 4.0

I think Port Noir‘s first album is decent, but I didn‘t really like what I heard from their new stuff.

Anyway, seeing them all in a few hours and I‘m hyyyyped

Album Rating: 3.0

Enjoy man. I was pleasantly surprised at how proficient they all are as performers

Album Rating: 3.0

I'm not the biggest fan of the direction they chose here but their show last week was absolutely killer, one of the best live bands, really. Sadly, we didn't get Slave in Prague, but we got The Valley, which was cool.

Also, The Sky Is Red is a monumental closer.

Album Rating: 4.5

Bumping this. Album gets better every time I hear it, to the point where this is getting close to Bilateral as my favorite of them. Pretty much every song I can listen to without context and have a great time with.

Album Rating: 4.0

I think this is my fav Leprous full stop, but hardly can listen to the 12 min closer



Also the fact deluxe has golden prayers and angel stuck in >>>>



also last Port Noir is the - fucking - tits, indie djent yes pls. I saw them playing openers of the openers once and they struck me like a good live band, yeah well if you enjoy their stuff



I do, it's super hipster



Also no more prog leprous, plz, u so good when you focus on melody

this is such a great album

kinda like the more "poppy" approach. reminds me a lot of Karnivool now. Which is good.

Dunno how anyone can hear the last 3 minutes of At The Bottom or the climax on Distant Bells and think this is anything but at least a 4

Album Rating: 4.5

I would have given this a 4 (this choir/background sining/hey hey hey stuff.... doesnt do it for me), but I saw them live in Zurich and the concert was absoeffinglutely fantastic. I think live the sound was a bit less centered on Einar's vocals (which I love, of course) but gave a little more room to the other musicians, compared to the studio album. Also, I find the ending of The Sky is Red to be one of the sickest outros ever made. Sends shivers down my spine every single time. Also, they didnt fuck up the Massive Attack cover on the extended version (it's actually great).

Album Rating: 4.0

The hey heys are awesome though.

Yeah the outro to The Sky is Red was heavy af and the song as a whole was really intense live. The upgraded light show and the way they stood on stage made it even better visually.

I love how many atmospheric elements they incorporated in that Massive Attack cover. Thought they would go more towards that direction with this album tbh.

Album Rating: 4.5

I am not a Leprous expert, but I really like the amount of violins and classical stuff

also, can we please appreciate the fan service they do by selling 2x 180g vinyl, including a CD (instead of some filthy download code for stupid mp3) for 20 Euros?

Album Rating: 4.5

This album is going to age like fine wine. Every time I listen to it, it just gets better. The Sky Is Red is top 5 Leprous.

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah, just bumped it up to 4.5 - maybe I like it that much because I wasn't really digging their earlier stuff and this is such a great progressive rock album.

Album Rating: 3.5

For me, it's the only album this year that gets better as time goes on

Album Rating: 3.0

On first listen, this was hugely disappointing. Couldn't even finish it. Will try again soon.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

It takes a few listens. I think the more of a fan you were before this album, the more listens it takes to get into this one. That's what it seems like, anyway.

Album Rating: 3.5

Big disappointment, everything disappoints me this year.

Album Rating: 3.0

everything but The Great Old Ones. 8 of my top 10 aoty were new bands to me.

Album Rating: 4.5
