^ LOL. You guys don't get the black metal thing. It's an entirely different universe to venture into. These early releases weren't about technical wizardry but rather about emotional terror, horror through tones and waves of sound and a glimpse into an entirely demented subculture that took evil to its logical extreme in musical form. Soulside Journey was OK but seemed a little lacking to my ears. While Darkthrone has been very hit and miss over the years, Transylvanian Hunger offered something that opened up a whole new world of metal beyond the usual horror and gore that death metal was becoming a cliche in delivering at this point. To my ears it's all good. It's like learning another language which shows you that your mother tongue is very limited in conveying certain concepts and shades of meaning.

Definitely not my thing, but I understand the fascination and why the early Darkthrone black metal releases are so influential. I just don´t enjoy them. I still mourn the fact that they changed from being being a quite brilliant old school death metal band to playing this murky lo-fi black metal noise.

Almost my exact same thoughts. Soulside Journey is brilliant. The rest of the discography is just lame.

Yeah, their symphonic elements are more prominent than ever, and they added a female vocalist to handle clean and operatic vocals on this album, which obviously works great for me. It''s honestly my favorite death metal album in a long time, but that's largely because it appeals a lot to my tastes, lol I did love their previous few albums as well, though.

I have strong first impressions of this one. My gut reaction is to say it's their best since Those Whom the Gods Detest.

Even if it's Simone's hand that is directing this, it very much feels more like an Arjen album and for me it's also his best since at least Star One's Revel in Time and possibly since Ayreon's The Source. Apart from some industrial/electronic/trance sounding aspects it pretty much sounds like Ayreon albeit it with only one lead singer (plus a couple of guests). Some will probably criticise it for not having more of its own identity but Simone is my favourite singer and Arjen is my favourite composer so this is pretty much a match made in heaven album for me. An album of the year contender although it will have Opeth to fend off soon and the new Nile is also excellent. 
Yeah, it's definitely much closer to Ayreon than Epica or anything else, and I'm perfectly fine with that. I agree with you on just about everything, and it definitely is my favorite recent Arjen album, aside from Revel in Time, which I loved  I do hear traces of Star One, as well, especially the main riff of "Te Weight of My World", which feels like it came straight from Victims of the Modern Age.
