Glen Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 Gave this a proper listen today. Let's be honest, Eclipse have been pretty weak since 2017's Monementum imo. I loved that album (except Downfall of Eden 😖), but everything since has been equal part good songs to fillers. The same is true here - I'd say about 5 keepers (mostly on first half). Also, just an observation but every album seems to have a terrible nordic sounding semi war, semi inspiro song now which I absolutely hate but Erik absolutely loves and includes in their set - part of the reason I won't see them live again : Here it is Anthem. What an awful, instantly skippable pile of Nordic jibberish. Previous albums it was as follows : Read to Rock : Hometown Calling Bleed & Scream : Battlegrounds Armageddonize : Blood Enemies Monumentum : Downfall of Eden Paradigm : United Wired : Run for Cover and now Anthem - possibly the worst of all 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 thinking about it I'd go again if the played something like this - just listed in album order : Breaking my Heart Again Millions Miles Away Bleed & Scream A Bitter Taste Love Bites I Dont Wanna Say Im Sorry Killing Me Jaded No Way Back Mary Leigh Roses on Our Grave Dead Inside Hearts Collide Hardest Part is Losing You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyharmonies Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 It's nice. It's decent. It's pleasant. It's safe. It's paint by numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a backhanded compliment if I ever read one! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric3 Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 OK, this album is pretty bad IMO. Most of the songs are just plodding and uninteresting, the lyrics are bad even by Martensson standards, and overall it's just missing that typical Eclipse energy and hooks that make me want to keep listening. It feels like a chore to listen to this album so...I won't do it. Also...I couldn't have been the only one who noticed this? Â The chorus has a very similar vocal melody and then there's the obvious shared lyrics...come on man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
