BE

I've pretty much listened to BE for three weeks straight without hearing anything else, and I've finally reached the peak of interest. After the first time I listened to the album in full my basic reaction was "what the ***?" It was just so different, and I didn't really get it, it didn't sound much like their old stuff. After listening to it over and over again, I finally started picking out the songs that are amazing. Lilium Cruentus, Dae Pecuniae, Breaching the Core, and Iter Impius are all great songs. Breaching the Core (Diffidentia if you prefer) has a hint of the harder PoS songs, and is probably my favorite on my album. My other favorite thing about the song is the orchestral section in the middle, it's just so unique! Enough about the songs specifically.

This album is obviously a lot softer in general than some previous albums, but I don't think that the band's next CD will necessarily stay this relaxed. The music fits perfectly with the theme, so there's no reason to complain. The Perfect Element 2 will most likely have more of the old harder tracks that some fans are used to, but also a lot of this more gentile music mixed in. Personally my favorite PoS albums are Remedy Lane and The Perfect Element. The only reason I didn't give BE five stars, is because I like those two albums better. But don't get me wrong, BE is an amazing CD, definitely worth buying. I can't wait till the next one. *thinking way too far in advance for my own good*
