It has some great moments and tracks, but like you said, not as intense and engaging as their first two albums. Prometheus comes quite close to that, though.

Album Rating: 3.5

prometheus is fucking awesome

I completely agree.

Album Rating: 3.0

yea it;s awesome

Album Rating: 4.0

it isnt half as good as their first two albums, but this is seriously a good record. agree with your review and rating

First 3 tracks rock socks then it goes down from there. This album is engaging at first but loses me after the 3rd track. An Elegy Of Icaros is just beautiful.

I get the opening notes of "Curse You All Men!" stuck in my head alllll the time.

Emperor's worst album.

Good lord the cleans on Source Of Icon E are cheesy

Album Rating: 3.5

Album Rating: 4.0

Yep.

Album Rating: 4.5

Average is about .9 too low.

This is a f... great album. I don't see how the previous superior records can shorten the brilliance of this.
