I like it. Think it flows effortlessly from start to finish. Maybe a bit too similar to Weather Systems (and maybe not quite as good) though the addition of the electronic and drum and bass type beats on the last couple of tracks is a welcome departure.

Played it quite a lo over the past few days - may give the 5.1 mix a go tonight.

Also looking forward to Sunday when i'm off to see their acoustic gig in Gloucester Cathedral.

I quite like it too. I'm not familiar with this band, and this is the first album of their's that I have listened to. I had imagined them to be a much heavier/proggier band than this album would suggest. Have they changed their style significantly?

Anathema over 20 years and 10 albums or so have changed totally. They started as a Doom Metal style band with death grunt vocals. This evolved (with the departure of their vocalist) to a different style on 'Alternative 4' and 'Judgement'. There is still a dark theme to the songs,and still some heavyness but it is far more accessible, with mellow touches (keyboards, strings etc) added. I like these 2 albums a lot.

After these albums, they changed slightly again with a more alternative sound on 'A Fine Day To Exit' and 'A Natural Disaster' - some songs remind me a bit of Radiohead.

Their last 3 albums (Were Here Because We're Here, Weather Systems and Distant Satelittes) are a different sound again, with a far greater input of female vocals from Lee Douglas, and are the Anathema of today. Some say a more prog style though i've yet to hear any 10 minute keyboard solos !!!.

Anathema are definately one of my favourite bands around at the moment.

I'm just finished listening to the Swedish pop Album Robyn by Robyn. Great pop album which features Swedish electronic duo The Knife providing the music on most songs. There are some very catchy songs on the album like Bum like you, Who that's girl, Crash and burn and Should of known.This album is highly Rrecommend to all pop fans.

I'm now listening to more Swedish music. This time is it's the metal album The Haunted made do it by The Haunted. The Swedish Gothenburg scene has pumped out lots of awesome metal bands and The Haunted are one of those awesome bands. Great album.

Thanks for that Steve. I think I will investigate them further on Spotify in due course.

Also worth watching is their 'Universal' bluray/dvd released last year. Live concert of the band playing with Plovdiv philharmonic orchestra at Plovdiv Amphitheatre in Bulgaria. Must be on YouTube somewhere.

Oooh! Just found my new favs new tune on youtube! Absolutely love this one. It`s more lush than their last offerings (which are very good!) but this one`s on a different level!

Looking forward to seeing this band at Festibelly festival next month. Any of you guys on the forum going? All the early bird tickets have gone but I think there`s still plenty of normal tickets available?
