New Anathema Studio Album

Love it! My favorite band never stops to amaze me! <3 

And its now on my CD player. I'm not sure I like it as much as Weather Systems which was absolutely breathtaking to me when I first heard it. Whats very obvious though is that it follows the same approach as the last couple of albums and the production is as good as it gets. I like the t-shirt and will see if I can get a picture of me wearing it put up at some point. 

It has hit our shores and I just ordered. Hope the wait was worth it and first reviews say it will be.

Drool

I just can't get into Anathema. I bought, and listened to, Weather Systems and it did absolutely nothing for me. I mean I like progressive rock that actually contains instrumental sections and not every inch of space being taken up by the vocals. In this regard, they remind me of Marillion, but Anathema are much less musically interesting than Marillion or IQ for that matter.

This and the new Opeth album will almost for sure be my albums of the year.

Can't wait! Vince is an amazing vocalist and the crew, brilliant!

No hatred involved. I like Weather Systems.

It's just a feeling.
