A lo-fi reverb rings behind the instruments, on the entire album. Grab studio headphones for the full experience. Genius musicianship!

It's a great album. Far from their best, of course, but still a commendable effort.

Agree

I hope this hiatus clears their head and make something unique as The silent enigma. This is ok but not unique. The silent enigma was their benchmark album. I hope they can achieve such unique atmosphere.

[@бладфедоров]

Anathema Мне нравится это дерзновение и это ощущение Моей души тревожное волнение и приподнятое самомнение Когда живешь всей грудью и помнишь каждое мгновение. Ведь Anathema не жалеет нам своих гитарных откровений - Ее готичные мотивы росли из темных сновидений И наших наваждений - слепыхъ дыханий ,зверя воскурений . Даря мне силы в борьбе со смертью - зеркал забытого моления, Ведь смерть моя - земных богов предназначение. Но холод-становление ,избрал опять меня себе в сравнение , В моей кармической фиолетовой тьме ДЕРЗНОВЕНИЯ.. Мой ренессанс взошел Луною из-за Льда по мановению Шестнадцать лет оружие я ждал , Анафемы моей предопределение. А братья Cavanagh повзрослев от содрогания Потерянного Рая ? И Serenades вечерних лики забывая и меняя , И магдолины плач знакомый в моем сердце заменяя Свой Progressive создав творя из тайн себя Других чертогов посыл неся и зарождение И струнами души сей стафф для нас рождая Мне лично новый смысл жизни посылая Меня собой перерождая и во тьме Честью возгорая. И Тьма иных - их озарение и забвение , У нас рождает свет Творить Добро играя , Пройдя свой путь земной любя души волнение Отдушины Его \/ творения - все в наше измерение Не потеряв гордыню Духа в картине изменения В нашем мире бытия и когтистости забвения ..

Stunning work.

[@thatsprettylunchean]

I only had listen to Judgement (it's an album that i heard before in my childhood because of my dad but find who they're and listen to them properly at my current age) and Alternative 4. I don't know if i'm in position to say this but i really think that this " old fans " are just getting purposely stuck with the Old Anathema, because trying to say this album is garbage is kinda childish and stupid. I listen to this album for the first time at 7:20 A.M meanwhile i was on my way to go somewhere that was like 40 minutes away. Those 40 minutes were awesome , shame that couldn't finish the album but now i'm going to hear it until the end. This album is precious.

[@diegoteran40]

It just me or at 53.23 there is a crowd in the background chanting "Yo soy the Anathema, es un sentimiento, no puedo parar"? VERY distorted, but I think it is there.

[@patricioalcorta4493]

Si ! somos nosotros, el publico Argentino, en un show año 2015 en Buenos Aires, donde cantamos "Ole ole ole ole ole ole ola, ole ole ole cada dia te quiero mas, Ooooh, Anathema, es un sentimiento, no puedo parar" y los Cavanagh decidieron agregarlo en el album. De hecho, la melodia de "Back To The Start" esta basada en los acordes de ese cantico!

This band is soooooo under rated. They deserve to be as big if not bigger than Radiohead. I think I'm preferring their Weather Systems album overall still, but this album is still one of their best.

[@staystrongjoseph]

@@denizb.6882 i honestly love the fact they are underrated It feels good to have a fav band that people haven't ruined with tik tok and stupid ads yet. Bohemian raphsody is one of the best songs ever but i really got bored of how much it's getting played.

[@goohere]

@@CJTranceAddiction they were most mainstream gothic metal band in nineties, with paradise lost and my dying bride, to alternative 4. after that album (honestly the best work of anathema) they became underrated, older fans of metal version of anathema went to another bands

I Do agree, I need more action .ANATHEMA never will be the same. We can't spect other Album like alternative 4, Destiny, Serenades or Eternity...never in the life

[@hex1233]

@@PetreMx Bands change sometimes. It sucks, I know. But if you want albums that sound like that, check out My Dying Bride or the new Paradise Lost album: Obsidian. I enjoy modern Anathema because so much of the music I listen to is already miserable/gloomy etc. It's nice to have something uplifting once in a while. Though, it seems they've been having a hard time mixing up their sound and keeping things fresh. We're Here... through The Optimist sound a bit too similar to each other. I think for their next album, they should focus on songs that are more energetic rather than the ambient approach they took on this album. I imagine taking inspiration from "A Natural Disaster" and "Judgement" will be both reasonable to expect from the band and could satisfy fans that want a heavier approach.

[@RobsonFormigaAndrade]

turn the volume up, then you will realize that's not lullaby, babe.

[@psychedelicfright85]

Finally, something that I can listen to. We're here because we're here, Weather systems, and Distant Satellites... was like one long acoustic and piano driven ballad. It was like Feeder, after Echo Park. This follows the concept of A Fine Day to Exit. Plus, guitars again.

[@wintercoffin]

My relationship with Anathema took a backseat after ‘A fine Day to Exit’, an album I never got into. However i really enjoyed A natural disaster though. ‘We’re here because we’re here’ then hit the shelves years later and needless to say I was not disappointed. But after that i never got into other albums.

[@CJTranceAddiction]

You should give Weather Systems a shot, their most popular album on spotify it seems. I'm actually preferring it over this one to be honest. I too got out of Anathema after A Fine Day To Exit but now have got back into them with this album. Checking out some of the stuff I have missed out on. Hearing some interesting stuff....I think I appreciate it more now.

[@eugene14888]

You are weird guys, A fine day to exit is a great work.

[@72superlead]

You didn't give enough time to "A fine day to exit". It's a masterpiece and as with all great works they take a long time to grow. For our little brains to comprehend that they're hearing

[@MrDivagation]

"Wow, Anathema is evolving in a style I don't like, so it's dead". Nope. Same for Opeth. Actually, what may be called a "dead band" is exactly the opposite imo : a band that don't take risks, that has never evolved in their whole existence, like Slayer.

[@TomGalonska]

What, Slayer has changed their style... They now play all the songs at halftime... :D :D :D :D :D :D

[@MrDivagation]

Hahaha true. Worst concert of my life, btw. These poor guys age badly...

[@Raafatgt]

Totally agree to change styles.. but not to this shit at least hold your damn guitars and play good music .. not only mixing in the studio..and about slayer.. you just inky ned to listen to one song and you get the idea about the whole albums 😅😅😅😅😅a goood exampke of changing style but still damn good are Opeth 🙌🙌

[@MrDivagation]

What an argumentation... Just admit that YOU don't like their new sound, but 95% of the people here do love that new direction. Objectively, there is some research in the sounds, structures and concept ; there is new elements, etc. And there is a bunch of people who are also hating on Opeth with the same kind of "arguments" ("this is shit yo"), so if YOU don't like it, well, just move on. There is plenty of music out there that will suit you.
