is it even out yet?

I'm assuming it's leaked. I'll choose to wait for the release. I kind of hate downloads unless it's one of my top 5 bands.

I'll wait for this one... I'm also waiting to buy the new SA single, even though it's killing me...

Yeah True.

Don't expect very much from the new album.
They turned to play progressive shit.

Progressive? Or more symphonic? I expected something more symphonic, that's the road they've been traveling lately.

They emphasize now more on prog shit.

Weird. Now you've peaked my interest even moreso.

this album is pretty boring. Coming off of shit like Lemuria i would of expected something better..because lemuria was fucking awesome.

The promo was leaked, its not the full album, almost every song has been cut in some way...

The album took me by suprised on the first listen, but its grown on me after a few spins. Its definately a style of Therion never before heard, a lot of the over the top choiral arragements are gone, replaced by a softer more clean female singer and less reliance on the choir. Snowy Shaw definately brings a new style of male vocal to the band, I personally like Mats solo better, but its not terrible either.

I think to those downplaying it, give it a few more spins and/or wait for the full release that'll have the uneditted songs on it. It took me a few spins, but its definately grown on me a lot.

I'm waiting to buy this one. I have every album by this band and what has been said so far wasn't going to alter my liking of this band one way or another.

Different. Good. But different. The first time I heard it, I didn't know what the hell was going on. The 2nd however? I thought it was pretty good. Definitely a grower. Just like Sirius B.

Oh, wonderful.

2007 could not have begun any better! This is a fantastic fucking record! I don't get what the growing on you stuff is about, this baby was love at first listen.
The songs on the promo seem to be a little shorter than what some sites says, but honestly, it's no big deal. Some songs even end in very expected way, like they were intended to.
Can't wait for the real thing. Already one of the biggest releases of the year.

I liked them around Theli and Vovin; still need to check out their DM days (yeah, I know...). Anyway, Sirius B/Lemuria was a shitfest of weak power metal, and judging by your comments I'll give this one a miss as well.

I know you said it; but, you really need to check out Beyond Sanctorum and Lepaca Kliffoth.

The song on the latest Terrorizer is ok ("Wand of someoneorother"), bit poppy, but catchy. Still waiting for the promo...

This is the worst Therion album so far. 4-5 good songs, the rest are just average or weak. I've never been so bored with a Therion album before.

beast..?

Please get it reviewed by someone who see the musical genius this album contains. ;)
