What would Nathan do?
Perosnally, I thought the album was great, but after a couple months I lost interest in it. It is a good album, but not a great album.

Strange. I find The Sham Mirrors to be their best of the two I have. I have fallen in love with it over the past three weeks, listening to it non-stop. I ordered LMI and it came the other day. Not what I was expecting. Good, but not as great as TSM. Whats AHS like? It's the only one I dont have.

AHS is much more black metal than the other two. It has the grim vocals and is symphonic black metal. Good stuff really. It was recently re-released with hard to find EP's.

In addition to TSM, AHS, and LMI does'nt arcturus have 2 more albums or are those just the EPs? and didn't they break up after sham mirrors? so much for the long live thing.
More thoughts:
I still play this album daily. I love everything about it, literally everything. There isnt one note that I dont like or that seems out of place at all. Basically, I get lost in it. I love when music does that to me. I love how there are "songs" within songs...know what I mean? It's like each track has two or three completely separate parts. It's utterly amazing. The singing and guitar work are fabulous. The drums are amazing as well. I have to say the best part of this album is Sverd's keyboard work. I mean, the layering isnt spectacular like Devin Townsend-esqe, but still dazzling. It gives the music such a "space age" feel to it. Futeristic metal from, as the title and tracks pretain to, another galaxy. This was my first Arcturus album, and I can say it's not only one of the best albums Ive heard this year, but one of the best albums I have ever heard period. A truly fantastic journey. The 10 minute epic album closer For to an end yet Again is mesmorizing. A brilliant album in all regards.

wow. you saying that seriously made me want to buy it a lot more I was thinking about getting AHS first but I dunno.
I was thinking about getting AHS first but I dunno.AHS is symphonic black metal.
LMI is like a theatrical/opera "evil" metal album...hard to describe, but fantastic. Their most experimental and umcompromising album.
TSI is like I said, "futeristic" metal...another hard to describe album. Not black metal at all except for one track with a guest appearance by Ihsahn, and a few random elements on other songs. Fucking amazing album!
Whatever you think you'd like the most out of those, buy first!
