Excellent music, excellent singing, occasionally distracting lyrics. Scandinavians are famed for speaking clean English, but the vocalist occasionally sings stuff that a native speaker just wouldn't sing, and it comes off...wrong somehow. | 3.5

Most tracks are work-a-day, but "Looking Down the Barrel" and "Serve your Masters" are some of my favorite songs from the genre | 3.0

Best album in awhile. The new blood added to the band made a good cocktail | 3.5

The vocal style makes it hard to get used to this not being a latter-day Mercyful Fate album with some updated drumming. Nothing against Yuri, who's a good musician, but he just doesn't have the depth possessed by the singer he's emulating, and I keep wishing Diamond would sing for the band instead. The other aspects of the vocals are great, though. The guitars and drums are border-line top shelf, and they sort of encouraged me to accept the vocals. Track 3, Hailstorm and Tempest, got me interested | 4.0

Some of the criticism of this album surprises me a little, but I'm new to the band. They didn't start out Doom and their new material is a slow disappointment? Maybe Fenriz is getting his need for speed by DJ'ing House music these days. Also, a'la Electric Wizard, Doom riffs are probably more fun to play when stoned than thrashier ones. Anyway the riffs on this album sound like they'd be a kick in the ass to play after one or two -- but maybe not nine or ten -- bong hits. Don't know if that's their poison, though. Certainly booze would also fit the bill | 4.0

 | XyphDryne btw: As a Skinny Puppy fan, you already stumbled upon the new Cyberaktif album? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vte1bSha0w

| XyphDryne I only checked the new Pitchfork for a couple of minutes. But nothing they released after Daimonion struck me as interesting. Like their sound design, love Peters voice but the songwriting keeps sucking in my humble opinion. I will order the new Diary of Dreams and Funker Vogt. I have to admit, I like the new singer. He has the best range of all Funker singers. Sure, it is nothing new or bold, but I am intrigued enoguh to buy it. Also, they dropped this whole alien s***, haha. Thatīs a plus,too

 | DadKungFu Lol it did it to me too. Short story, I think Bach's the greatest composer of all time. Debussy's up there, but he's kind of hampered by not being all that prolific/having a relative handful of truly great pieces

| DadKungFu Well glad you're still lurking here and there, still hope to see you around more at some point
