"it's gimmicky as fuck and doesn't really add anything imo"



I disagree. Whatever floats your boat.

I just don't get that. Miasma is the best song on here and imo their best instrumental by far. Genesis is good too though

helvetesfönster is just far richer musically to me and that outro with the acoustics done by mikael akerfeldt is just stunning. i think it sits better structurally in the album too so it hits a lot harder.

i mean you have to go into this album accepting the fact that nothing about it is serious. it's as hammy and corny as it gets and that's honestly its strength. when the corniness goes hand in hand with the excellent songwriting, ghost truly shine. they nailed this record in that regard except for a few missteps.



continuing conversation about gimmicks though i'm of the minority that feels that miasma would have been better without the saxaphone completely though - it's a total mood killer and it's anti-climactic as fuck. i get to that point and wonder how the fuck we got here and up until that point it's pretty pleasant but nothing remarkable.

I didn't know Akerfeldt was on the outro, that's probably my favorite moment on the album. I agree Helvetesfonster is superior to Miasma.

I can't believe they haven't included Witch Image yet in the live set list. Criminal.

Sax is one of my favorite parts about not only Miasma but the whole album...



Also Witch Image is the best track on here, so hopefully they do add that to the set eventually.

So the madmen just announced a stadium tour across Europe with Metallica. Riding the wave.



I'm happy for them.

Yap. That tour will stop here in Lisbon...The prices to see Metallica are just hideous! I mean I could stand Metallica again only to see Ghost, but will be difficult at 70/80 euros!

If they dropped Pro Memoria and Helvetfonster and made this and EP it would immediately be a lot better

I could take or leave life eternal too tbh
