Such a great album, this band just keeps getting better and better. Well worth it if you're into this sort of stuff
Possibly my new favourite album! As good as, if not better than, The Silent Force.
edit: Revising my initial sentiment slightly: this album is absolutely fucking epic.

There was a period a few years back where i listened to a radio station that played a particular form of progressive trance; simplistic but banging tribal like beats, a deep zoomy bassline and drawn out melodic stuff... happy and powerful and melancholic music
Enjoyed the shit out of it whatever mood i was in & whatever i was doing... partying, working, cleaning the house - t'was always good. Then suddenly, before i was able to write down names of tracks or artists, the whole style inexplicably vanished overnight and i was never able to find anything remotely like it again. Until now that is, behold!!

Thought it was kind of average to be honest. I'm not much of a Within Temptation fan actually, but I do think that for them it's a good attempt at a concept album. It doesn't tickle my musical glands enough I guess. I'm happy they're finally moving away from the whole fairy tale elves and stardust bullshit though.

Every so often, maybe once in every twenty sentences, they'll surprise the bejeesus out of you by uttering a combination of words you've never heard before in that particular order. It's like a reward for your efforts.

I'm really enjoying the Portal soundtrack as some background tunes for getting to grips with zBrush. Quite chilled and unobtrusive but at the same time there's enough there to be positively motivational.

like! apart from the faggy intro.
But surely it's just plain old dnb... you can't take certain elements from a style and forget other elements, then add them back and relabel it - that's just wrong

Fucking hell, I have no idea what's happening and I'm scared.
I heard a snippet of this song in The Office episode with the BBQ in Jim's house when Michael sings it on karaoke. The chorus reminded me of that Ghetto Superstar song from 10 years ago which I heard on the radio ages ago and sort of enjoyed. So anyway, I looked this up and .. I .. like it .. ?!
Time to put on a beige cardigan and buy a pair of wool slippers I reckon =/
Never mind the dumbass YouTube video, it's the highest quality studio rendition I could find.
