the wonderful thing about ctts is that it starts out sounding like chopped up poop and then you listen again and again and you can't stop and then it ends up being the best thing ever so i fully expect to be putting a 5 here later

4.5 superb
Agalloch Marrow of the Spirit
Akercocke Words That Go Unspoken...
Alcest Le Secret (2011 Version)
The rerecording of Elévation gives me goosebumps. It sounds warmer than the original, but I'm unsure why that makes it so much better - I mean, it's the same song.

In Mourning The Weight of Oceans
Wow. After two listens, I can say it's brilliant but I still feel like it needs to sink in a bit more. The final song is likely the worst on the album and Celestial Tear was stuck in my head after two seconds of its chorus. Also, Tobias Netzell is probably my favourite harsh vocalist after Mikael Akerfeldt.
In Vain (NO) Aenigma
I'm on the second listen and I'm very impressed. Hope it lasts.

edit: it does

I was quite surprised by how good this is. I love this genre for its ability to immerse the listener, but most of its bands just try but fail to replicate Burzum. While comparisons to Burzum are still inevitable here, this album is very well executed. It's also actually diverse: a rare trait in ambient music. One of the best ambient black metal releases.

Without sacrificing much of the trance-inducing repetitiveness of its predecessors, it manages to sound more diverse... in a way

I like it, but not as much as the Balancing Act. Will probably grow on me, though, so I'll
likely be changing this later. Love the last two tracks, but Kill the King is kind of
obnoxious.

It's near impossible to go into this without expectations, but try it. Once the initial impressions wear off, the album is really cool. Sons of Winter and Stars is definitely the best song on the album. Brb bellowing stuff about frosty dark winter stars
