"They tend to go forward about 5 years every album. So I'm just waiting for their grunge era lmao"

Good point. Can't wait for the emo pop punk Ghost album when Tobias is 60, gonna be wild.

Done with my first listen of Skeletá.



I'm gonna need more spins. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it either. But the 4th track is definitely a skip.

Looks like the next era has been decided.



This album has songs using a style from every single one of their previous records. Except De Profundis Borealis, which is unmistakably a Power Metal ride al a Blind Guardian and Helloween.



I think I know what their next album is gonna sound like.

Gonna be listening at work today, cautiously optimistic that it'll at least be fun but we'll see.

It's dynamic, it's really well produced, it's really catchy at times but don't expect Megliora levels of quality.And it has two ballads that are the worst Ghost songs I ever heard.

New album is a passable 3 out of 5, imo.

It's easily their worst album so far, that's undeniable - god I hope Tobias has finally gotten his 80s hard rock addiction out of his system.

At least they're still reliably great live - they put on a good show when I saw them a week or so ago.

Agreed with the general sentiment being expressed though, definitely the weakest Ghost album unfortunately. I have a feeling it will grow on me somewhat, probably sitting at a 3-3.5/5 at the moment. First time I’ve felt like there are some really forgettable moments on a Ghost album. By contrast, even Impera, which I would have considered the weakest prior to this, has a bunch of bangers scattered throughout. This one is really front-heavy and dips hardcore.
