Transcend: Celestial Lineage: Ranked

Transcend 09.03.11	All of the top 3 are pretty close. Also, keep in mind that I (obviously) haven't had this for long, so this could easily change over the next few days/weeks.
Transcend 09.03.11	And why are you posting from an alt with a stupid name? See, we all make mistakes.
DarkNoctus 09.03.11	so far for me it's uhh Rainbow Illness > Permanent Changes in Consciousness > Woodland Cathedral > Subterranean Initiation > Astral Blood = Prayer of Transformation >>>>> Thuja Majus Imperium :]
DarkNoctus 09.03.11	also what the fuck is the similarity between prayer of transformation and black lake? they're nothing alike at all. :[
Transcend 09.03.11	Interesting ranking, but ok :]
Transcend 09.03.11	The only similarity is that they're both long, droney tracks on a predominantly black metal album.
DarkNoctus 09.03.11	only about 25% of black lake is drone though :]
Transcend 09.03.11	Well, it feels like more because it's such a boring album :] But what do I know, I haven't listened to it in at least half a year.
DarkNoctus 09.03.11	well black lake is my favorite song of all time though so heh [:
AngelofDeath 09.03.11	The only tracks I really gave a shit about were Astral Blood and Permanent Changes in Consciousness.
Transcend 09.03.11	The reception so far is making me sad: I thought it was around the same level as, if not better than, Two Hunters (it didn't have a single track as brilliant as I Will Lay Down My Bones..., but I think it had a better balance of awesome songs). Ah well, people's opinions may improve when a better quality leak surfaces.
TheSpirit 09.03.11	Wait this leaked
DarkNoctus 09.03.11	yeah it leaked last night spirit :] for me this album just doesn't feel anywhere near as substantial as their last two albums.
Transcend 09.03.11	Yessir. The leak's not very good though: it's 128kbps made to look like 192. You might consider waiting for a better qualilty rip.
Transcend 09.03.11	Black Cascade was "substantial," but it was also comparably quite boring imo. This, on the other hand, is not. It returns to a TH-ish sound and adds a bit of progressive-ness.
AngelofDeath 09.03.11	It's not quite as boring as Black Cascade, but it just seems like it tries so hard to craft an atmosphere that's never really there.
Crysis 09.03.11	"Wait this leaked" Yeah check PtC. Totally agree with what Angel said.
DarkNoctus 09.03.11	idk I mean the first track is absolutely soaked in atmosphere, a really fantastic atmosphere too but I don't think the rest lives up to it :[
eggsvonsatan 09.03.11	I'm not a fan of the constant use of the synth. I really liked how it was subtly used on Black Cascade, but I think its kind of annoying on this album. Aside from that, it sounds good on a first listen.
someguest 09.03.11	this is what happens when you hype an album for months
DarkNoctus 09.03.11	i love how the synth was used on the first track but the rest is yet to grow on me. i'm not giving up yet though. i'll reserve my rating. :]
zaruyache 09.04.11	This doesn't top Two Hunters, sadly :[
DarkNoctus 09.05.11	really, really disappointed with this album after 3 listens
Transcend 09.05.11	I hated a few of my 4.5s and 5s at first. They grew on me after a while. That being said, I understand your disappointment even if I can't relate to it at this time.
