I remember you liked it when it first came out. I didn't like it at first, but it's grown on me. I'm listening to it now. It's not great or anything. Yeah, I think you were posting about M and Ghost both of which I was look warm about on first listen. I think you said something about the novelty of Enya style vocals and BM. Fess up! hee-hee.
I remember that talk. I actually commended you on your dislike of the Ghost record and the "M" record. Still that was when "M' made it's first splash and was a new and bewildering animal. After close inspection of both records, Ghost is not as good as previous efforts and "M" is trash.
I do like Enya and even listened to her 2015 release, Dark Sky Island. Enya has to be one of the best Irish inventions, have the Irish really invented anything of use?

I'm part Irish, so I guess I'm a little biased. I heard the new Enya, too. I actually like Enya as well. She crafted a unique sound that resonates with a lot of people.

At War With Reality by At The Gates is a straight-up solid melodeath album. (Didn't hear it until tonight.) This is unmistakably their classic style, even after all these years. It's more controlled and less manic now, though, in terms of composition, production, and execution. I'd like a modern release with the energy of Slaughter Of The Soul.

Interesting album for me in that it seemed to make a lot of buzz when it came out, was on some year end lists but a lot of people found it uninspiring. So much of a collective "meh" that I nearly passed. Who needs another so so melodeth album? I mean with these retro genres be the melodeth, stoner/doom, power metal, OSDM, symphonic BM, prog, whatever, I'm open to most of these categories if it's a particularly good representative of said style. But, I'm not a music collector for the sake of collecting a complete anthology if it's lame. The album for me has to earn it's place in my library and compete w/ listening time.
I finally bought at the end of last year when I saw it on some year end blog lists. I’m in the thumbs up column. I just think it’s a well put together melodeth album with an interesting concept-but I get that it’s not overly daring or original. Still, it’s one of those solid B+ albums for me that’s easy to listen to, kinda like this year’s Maiden, HOF or Ufommamut. Bands that are solid and find ways to do similar albums but still make them interesting. Just not pushing the envelope a whole lot. And, that’s OK in my book.
