Everyone needs to buy this now!!!!! Top fucking 5 for me.

I can say that this album will be in my top 5 for 2006. More like top 11-20. Cant see how this could get such a high score. IMO, the only top killer track is Timeless Winter. The other 2 very good songs are Nothing and Eternal. The rest are just ok/good, with A Past Beyond Memory and Paralized being the 2 weakest tracks.

Not enough killer tracks for me

I give it around 80/100, nothing higher

Guess I have no choice but to do so.

Good Review. Funny it took me a long time to get into this album. I was actually disappointed when I first got it and it took me several spins to realize the greatness of this album. Definately a top 5 album in a very strong metal year!

I think this had to do with the really bad (fake) drum sound. It really bothered me a lot and still does but eventually the great songs allowed me to look past it. Also, knowing Andy Sneap controlled the knobs I expected it to sound a bit better as well. I am sure he did the best he could with the recordings he had handed over to him though. I wish they would of used him for the recording of the material as well. It surely would have sounded perfect then as all Andy's full jobs do.

The choruses of this album are really strong. I mean really strong and very catchy. Stu's singing voice is very good. Ironically he sounds almost identical to the previous guy's clean vocals.

92/100

awesome band and album

hm, i bought Buried in Oblivion without listening to a single track and loved it, looks i'm doing it again.

Into Eternity

I suppose my expectations were too high after fully digesting Buried in Oblivion. That, and I expect no band's album to be any better than the previous when they voluntarily dumb down the music. Extra points for acquiring a capable vocalist.

60/100

i checked out "Severe Emotional Distress" (available on the band's MySpace) and it kills.

if it's anything to go by, the album is a winner. i'm stopping by fnac this weekend to buy it

Another killer album for the year. Definitely in my Top... something. Not sure. There has been so many great releases this year.

It is, dude. This album rules! Top 15 easy.

This albums grows on you so much hard to compare to previous 2 cds and is it Halford or Ripper doing the guest vocals. I really like it just want to get a copy of their first cd to see what it's like.

Well for what it's worth, I like that song too but don't feel it is anywhere near the best songs from the album.

Nothing, Out, Surrounded by Night, Eternal, and Suspension of Disbelief would by my picks for top cuts!

Great CD...I have no complaints whatsoever. I give it a 96/100--it really had me hooked for awhile, although I've had it for awhile now.

This album was like Trivium if they decided to mix death and power metal instead of thrash and gay. I gave it 45/100


*hehehehe*

Shut up, noodles.

Don't Severe Emotional Distress and Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr sound like the same song to anyone else?

I think a lot of it has to do with Andy Sneap, since he makes everything except the vocals sound the same to me on every single album he touches, and the guy from Into Eternity writes his vocal lines in the same way as Matt Heafy, but sings in death vocals instead of metalcore vocals so the two bands sound like clones.

no

Yeah I don't hear that at all.

blah. i guess the two songs i said aren't exactly the same but they still remind me trivium. Also the sound on the album is awful, it's sterile and emotionless and the vocals are too low in the mix so he sounds like a total pansy.
