I have it and it sounds GREAT! dont know when the release date is but you should all check it out. I hope it gets reviewed too. Opeth's Mikael akerfeldt sings on a fantastic track called Unhealer. The whole album is like nothing I've ever heard before.

It's decent and definitely not as good as the first one. None of the songs stand out. I'm hoping it grows on me though.

ahh you crazy! They ALL sound kickass. Emancipation, unhealer, and elevator all stand out to me.

Idk, it just leaked tho. I'm giving it a download, but I hated the first one.

His harsh vocals are still crap.

Me too. I wasn't too keen on Adversary but angL is in a different league. There are moments there that rival the best moments of Emperor. Even though it's not that heavy, it's quite dark. Each song is very technical, very complex and very beautiful. Hats off to Ihsahn this time.

They always were....but his creativity balances that. I thought "The Adversary" was a very solid album. It had two brilliant songs 'Called by the Fire' and that long last one (cant recall its name).

Emancipation is my definite stand out so far. Very nice!

Well done.

Listening to that song on the way home, I finally started to enjoy this album. It's not bad; the album just seems repetitive and almost predictable.

It needs at least 3-4 listenings to sink in well. But it's brilliant.
