Interesting review, and thread. Never heard of that forum board. I thought Dave had a good point with regards to just putting the album away for a while. Maybe that's the solution to my problem (and a CD-R of Fleurety from BWD). 
@Erik - I don't think David didn't post here because he thought your review was negative. He holds us in quite high regard (we were mentioned in the liner notes etc, and we got two promos and a full length version). If anything, I think he appreciated the honesty, but it's still better to hear his reaction I think....

edit:
if i wasn't such a downer, i'd change my avatar to the beer one over there too.

I still find myself listening to Arcturus and Solefald, most recent releases included, often...I think it's failure the differentiate that sound in their other endeavors that is causing indifference with that style, which isn't nearly the dead end melodeath has become.

It's maybe a time of the year thing, because the first Arcturus album, or Solefald's "Linnear Scaffold" is working just fine for me these days. It's cold outside you know.

Arcturus and Solefald only had one BM album each: "Aspera Hiems Symphonia" and "The Linear Scaffold". And I wouldn't call any post-"Bloodhemn" Enslaved BM, nor any post-"s/t" Borknagar. Who in the fuck are Age of Silence?

Not BM. "Prog-BM". Or "Avante-Garde BM". Whatever you prefer really.
Age of Silence is a super group on TER.

Agreed, and as Jay said - I'd refer to it as "Prog-BM" (if you even want to refer to it as black metal) or "avant-garde BM". Besides the Borknagar s/t, I muchly prefer new Borknagar to older stuff.. but Its the other way around with Enslaved (still the newer more prog albums are masterpieces).

Bah, I don't think "The Sham Mirrors", "La Masquerade Infernale", "Below the Lights", "Pills Against the Ageless Ills" or "In Harmonia Universali" are the least bit black metal. Especially LMI. I mean... come on.

Just call it "progressive metal". All this Norwegians that discover 70s music give the chance all are waiting for the genre to purify its name by not having another dream theater clone under its umbrella.
