Just got home and it was waiting in my mailbox.... Thanx Ken G & Laser's Edge.... Let the listening commence!!!!
Enigmatic Calling didn't grab me right away ... it' very similar to Celestial Entrance, but itsn't as good. It's lacking in catchiness compared to it's predecessor.The guitar tone on this album is fantastic. Better than on the previous ones, and I have always liked Jorn Viggo's sound. It sounds like the EVH tone but a bit more modern and metal. Listen to the end of Spirit Starcruiser - if that isn't a Van Halen homage I don't know what is. I have to say that this album is not as catchy overall as Enigmatic : Calling and it doesn't "grab" you right away like that album, but after a few spins you will begin to find its strengths and it will hook you. One of the best albums of the year, and I'm glad I preordered.
Can anyone please tell me how ya'll ordered the pagan's mind cd. what site ya'll used or what so i could get it..thanks..

What I like about the new one, and why it hit me quicker than the previous disc is because it seems fresh .. doesn't sound a lot like the past couple of discs. It's also a little more aggressive perhaps, and all in all the disc seems like a change of pace for PM. I'm pretty happy with the direction they chose for this one.

I am still awaiting my copy. I hope it will arrive Monday.
This album has made me a big fan of the band, i wasn't before . Their other albums sounded almost like demos to me, not very good productions at all. This album has killer catchy songs and an amazing production on it. This is the highlight of their career so far and should gain them alot of new fans.
