Amazing........2007-04-16

I have no idea why people say this is Emperor's worst album. I have "In the Nightside Eclipse" and "Athems to the Welkin at Dusk" and "Prometheus"- and personally I think this is their best album. The production is so much better than in "In the Nightside Eclipse" and "Anthems to Welkin at Dusk". The music is very full and majestic...as it is in other Emperor albums also...but it just goes to show their touch has not been lost. Just overall it is very beautiful with much clearer production and some improved vocals. I highly recommend this album.

I have to be honest in saying that like other reviewers, I don't hear where the bad blood about this recording is coming from. I'm a fan of both stages of Emperor. I loved the early stuff as well as the more symphonic Emperor. I think this is as great a recording as, Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk. A lot of people think that one was their best. If it were up to me, I'd list all of their albums as the best. If you liked the Welkin CD, you will like this. Emperor seemed a bit more heavier on Anthems, but not so much that you will hear this and be bummed out at all.
Hail the mighty Emperor!

Sadly Underrated.......2006-02-04

Most fans of the band say this is Emperor's worst album, but I don't hear it. While it's certainly not as good as their first two albums its still excellent. "Curse You All Men" is their best opener and one of their best tracks. "An Elegy of Icaros", "Nonus Equilibrium", "The Source of Icon E" and the epic closer "Of Blindness and Subsequent Seers" are all excellent tracks. The only weak track is "The Warriors of Modern Death". Otherwise this album is great: great songs, great production, great musicianship. Highly recommended.

I think I love Ms. Vazquez..........2005-10-10

Could ther be a guitar slinging woman out there who actually LOVES black metal??? Damn, I think I'm in love.

Oh yeah, and this album is a nuclear bomb. If you don't know about these guys who pioneered then perfected an overlooked genre of metal, well, go on then, see what it is you have been missing.

If you enjoy it, try Immortal, early Satyricon, and the first( and only as far as I'm concerned) album by Mayhem. Also Borknagar, and Vintersorg for mind expansion purposes.

Oh yeah! beotch!.......2005-10-02

you don't even have to say emperor you just say prometheus or nine equilibrium and if you don't know what that means you ain't no friend of mine prometheus should be your first purchase but this one is just as good. also if you like wierd awesome highly talented norwegian metal check out ASMEGIN
