Idk, this sounds pretty samey for me, though it has great tracks, I find it repetitive.

Album Rating: 2.0

Ehhh Godspeed is better than this imo, but yeah Hammer and Thornography are def best post-Midian.

Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

Agreed, Godspeed's way better, I have to spin Hammer as soon as I can. I'm feeling kind of hyped now towards it, lol.

Album Rating: 3.5

Godspeed and this are probably tied for me, Hammer is indeed their best since Midian. I like Thornography about as much as Nymphetamine, both are barely better than Damnation and a Day.

Album Rating: 2.0

Damnation suffers from way too much filler. Most of the actual tracks are great, but it's way too long with way too many instrumentals. I still dig it, but Thornography and Nymphetamine are both way better imo.

Album Rating: 3.5

Those are the main reasons that I don't have it that highly rated too, but it's one of their most unique and different sounding albums to me, particularly the middle tracks. The interludes are all fantastic, and is their last album I would consider even labeling black metal.

Album Rating: 2.0

Idk bro the new one is straight up symphonic bm, idk what else you could call it tbh haha.

I have the same feelings towards Damnation and a Day, I would rate it higher, but it feels way to long, and there is certain amount of filler indeed, but imho Nymphetamine and Darkly, Darkly are the weakest CoF records.

Album Rating: 2.0

I def have Nymphetamine ahead of this, Darkly, Godspeed, and Damnation.

I don't know man, I guess it never clicked for me... It sure has great tracks, just as any other Cradle of Filth record, but the low ones are to low for me.

Album Rating: 3.5

Hammer is indeed their closest to symph bm since Damnation or Midian, though there's a lot of melodeath in there too, at least that I hear. Nymphetamine and Thornography move toward mainstream, polished, instrumentally simpler sounds, and while they do it well, I personally prefer the aesthetics of their previous albums. But they are indeed better than Damnation, b/c of less filler and just having a lot of fantastic songs.
