Epos isn't nearly as long and has an awful lot of filler (waves and "hey") thereby rendering it an automatic 2nd compared to this.

I've been giving this album a considerable amount of playing time, and I can't help but feel that I'm not getting out of it what most others are. In fact I think that Failures Burden is unquestionably the weakest track on the album, and I think that it contains some rather cringeworthy vocal lines. My favorite tracks thus far are Heathen Tribes and No Nation On This Earth. I'm hoping that a familiarity with Primordial's past works will help shine new light on this album and the way that their musical path has led toward it, because I can't help but feel underwhelmed due to my initial expectations, and I honestly don't see what's the big shit about Nemtheanga. He has some fantastic vocal lines, but others are awkward.

add the gathering wilderness as well
nemthy needs to go back to using black metal vocals instead of that aggressive throaty voice on the last two

Matt go listen to A Journey's End and get back to us on this subject.
To the Nameless Dead needs a minimum of a dozen listens before it begins to come together.

He mixes it up well enough for me. I put this album well ahead of "The Gathering Wilderness" but behind "Spirit the Earth Aflame."

Just sounds like a lot of whinging over nothing really, so if you focus on the positives and not just need an attention-seeking talking point, it's an essential album.
That said, 2007 did not produce a landmark release. The Terrorizer top 40 list was horrendous. If the DsO was the best album of the year then 2007 was fucked. Compare your best album of 2007 to previous years and behold the void.

It was not that bad at all, better than 2006 and 2005 together at any rate. That said I'm not gonna produce my top ten list, almost everything on it would not even make the cut in a RC death match...

Why do you need a ground breaking album to consider 2007 a worthy year for metal?
Shit for all you know that 2007 release is still out there waiting to be discovered.

BTW, I agree, I think 2007 was very solid. Not "groundbreaking", but there were a ton of releases I'd listen to regularly, the mark of any good year.

That's true. I can't write it off just yet obviously.
Though 2007 consisted of several 'above average' to 'very good' releases and so they automatically just get bumped up the list.
The new Primordial and Darkestrah were probably my two favorite albums of the year, but when I put it into perspective, previous years were filled to the brim with albums of that quality. Had those two albums been released in previous years, they would have probably taken my #9 and #10 spot.
