I'm glad this made the staff list. Everyone is going to have their 'best metal album of the year', so there will always be arguements there, but if nothing else, this was definitely the surprise metal album of the year.

Great stuff.
I'm late to this, but I've always been turned off a bit by their epic non-bm sections. There's too much damn keyboard soup you know. Even Dimmu's are better!
But then again the bm sections here are awesome and I'm a Vortex fanboy so I can prolly handle it.

Might be my 'feel-good' record of the year. Everything with Vortex vox sounds about 100x more jovial than it would've otherwise.

Frustrating record. Especially because I read many glowing reviews and it keeps remaining average for me. I did feel vindicated once though:
"“Up North’s” surprisingly upbeat and catchy songwriting is complimented by vocal melodies that wouldn’t be out of place on the cream of rock radio’s offerings or, as some other people have pointed out, on Volbeat’s records."
EEEEEEK

same here dude, what are we missing. And i've really dug a lot of Borknagar's stuff over the years. Empiricism is a jam and a half

Where did that quote come from? I don't think I've ever listened to Volbeat, but I'd have to disagree about the melodies being similar to radio rock.

That's actually a really good review, but I still disagree about the radio rock ;)

It's that incessant mid-tempo they seem to like so much.

They never quite manage the greatness of Opeth’s best material, but it’s a damn good album nonetheless.

I don't know I kinda dig the ballady Wild Father's Heart. Overall the album feels like the peak of their post-Empiricism era (that modern prog/folk/bm sound) with what that wanted to achieve in terms of compositions, instrument and production choices

That is a welcome surprise for me.
"Up North" grew on me a lot. Some great vocal work there [2. Exactly]

I just wonder where they go from here. This feels like a peak of their current sound. Do they just refine and rehash now or do they push the envelope?
|

I'd say they found their sound so I hope they refine and rehash
