I love the band. I think 'La Masquarade Infernale' is their best by some distance. I think it's a much more visionary record than their others. Indeed, more than most other metal albums. It's let down slightly by Garm's slightly lacklustre vocals, but the musical and melodic invention is superb.
I place 'The Sham Mirrors' second. It's the record that got me into them, and it has a cool vibe to it. Garm's vox are much improved, and the keys are blinding.
Both the other full-lengths are very good, but not on a par. The new one is, dare I say it, a little uninspired?

Oh, and this might sound retarded, but to me, 'La Masquarade Infernale' has always sounded like it's the score of a musical set in space. And therefore 'The Sham Mirrors' is a perfect follow-up, because it sounds like it was actually recorded in space.

Simen's my favourite vocalist so off course I like Arcturus! Not that I didnt love them from before but when Simen joined them they jumped up to the nr.1 spot of my list. and off course the keys of Sverd <3 and he's got a brilliant artistname oh and the riffs. oh and the whole space-music-theme going on. love it.

 

[Braighs]

In space, no one can hear you scream!

 

[FUBAR]

The Sham Mirrors is my fav album by them. The last track 'For to End Yet Again' is my fav song by the band...such an epic!

 

[BreathingShadow]

The Sham Mirrors is by far the best and Garm is by far better than Simen

 

[Maggot9]

Sham Mirrors owns, and so does the opener Kinetic. Sadly I only own Sideshow Symphonies by them, it sucks.

 

[Dalkaen]

Haven't quite gotten into Arcturus yet. I listened to La Masquerade Infernale and The Sham Mirrors. Need to give both more listens.

Garm's slightly lacklustre vocals
