The New Enslaved Album

Yea. I've listened to 6 of their 11 releases. Each one is better than the other, but all still rock. I need to buy the other five though.

What if you like Mastodon but hate Yes?

Below The Lights is really when they started to focus heavily on their progressive elements, changing it up with each album (as it should be) and never getting dull. They really do mature as musicians over the course of the last decade. Each of their follow albums experiments with different styles, sometimes using more clean vocals and clean passages, yet never forgetting their roots and the fans that have been with them since the beginning. Their early material is good if you're into the Norwegian black metal scene of the '90s, but their stuff from the '00's is just so good.

It's really good. Enslaved never really has disappointed. One of the best best of '10.

Enslaved's new album is amazing. Much better than their previous effort Vertebrae. This album really goes back to the band's black metal roots without compromising on the progressive elements of later Enslaved albums. I rank this up there with Isa as among their best.

I have just finished listening to it. It isn't better than Vertebrae, but it is as good as Vertebrae.

Really? I liked Vertebrae but found some of the progressive elements to be somewhat awkward at times and the black metal sound that defines Enslaved's music seemed to be lacking in some songs. I think the new album is much better in this regard and it's slowly becoming my favorite Enslaved album. I also think the clean vocals are better on A E O.
