The album cover promises a lot, but then I'm left wanting

I'm sure I don't "get" it, everyone seems to be absolutely in love with this album



For me, I don't see it (yet)

You seem to dislike BM in general. That probably doesn't help with liking this, I'd imagine.

I also found this never lived up to the hype it has, but gonna give it another opportunity rn after some years

I mean there are some great songs but Nattens Madrigal, first 4 Darkthrone or even more melodic At the heart of winter/Sons of northern darkness all seem better/more enjoyable than emperor to me

I like Dissection, Windir, Deströyer 666, Gorgoroth, Mercyful Fate, Taake, Bathory, Sacramentum.

Yes but you also 1.0'd Darkthrone's entire Unholy Trinity. That makes expectations of you liking Nightside Eclipse very, very low indeed.



Curious to see where this goes poll!



Do you two enjoy the other Emperor records? Or is it an overall Emperor-dislike?

I can't stand Darkthrone



This seems to offend most people here

People take offence easily. To me it was mainly puzzling, but now I see Burzum 1.5's, a Mayhem 1.5, an Under The Sign Of The Black Mark 2.5...



This puts things in perspective. It seems the more melodeath stuff (Dissection, Sacramentum) and Viking stuff (Bathory, Windir) is more for you, and the 1st/early 2nd wave BM stuff (aforementioned albums with low ratings) isn't.

Bro 2'd filosofem but has 5'd Those once loyal and this is enough for me



It's an overall emperor thing, never got into the band, idk what it is, I feel the riffs don't do it for me. Today I listened to I am the black wizards, inno a satana (great songs ok) but got bored when going to the first songs of the album



Blasting Panzerfaust ATM

this is pretty dense compared to other early bm, certainly took a lot of spins for me to love. i would say focus on the keys and the drumming to really appreciate whats going on. but yeah it may just not be for you, nbd

which is the easiest version to get into do we think? There's a 20th anniversary edition. I keep meaning to revisit

I don't know how the version I own on CD (Candlelight 2004) compares to other versions. What I do know is that it rules.

I dislike Burzum and Vark Vikernes in particular.



What is wrong with Those Once Loyal? It's an EPIC album. Bolt Thrower's best IMHO.

"melodeath stuff"



Do you mean Melodic Black Metal?



"and the 1st/early 2nd wave BM stuff (aforementioned albums with low ratings) isn't"



I do like Bathory's first and second album and Blood Fire Death.
