| ___________________________________ [Aug 8,2012 1:02pm - arilliusbm ""] I kind of like NPR being used as a metal outlet. Better than BrooklynVegan crap. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 8,2012 1:04pm - Burnsy ""] I'm digging this so far. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 8,2012 1:06pm - arilliusbm ""] How many albums does this make it now? 9? |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 8,2012 1:08pm - arilliusbm ""] Oof. 12. Way off. I honestly havent paid much attention to them since Isa came out. It's not that I don't like the new stuff, I just don't care as much. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 8,2012 1:10pm - Burnsy ""] It'll be there 11th full length. |

| _____________________________ [Aug 9,2012 8:03am - Yeti ""] there are some really good songs throughout the last bunch of albums, but none of the albums really stuck out in full. Below the Lights and Vertebrae are the strongest. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 8:28am - thirdknuckle ""] What about Monumension? I thought Vertebrae sounded like a heavy David Gilmour album |
| ______________________________ [Aug 9,2012 10:37am - Yeti ""] i did NOT like Monumension at all. Blodhemn is the last good one before Below the Lights. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 9,2012 10:37am - Yeti ""] Vertebrae is not a good headphone album, Grutle's voice sounds horrible. |

| __________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 11:37am - chrisREX ""] Below the Lights is probably my favorite album. Ruun is underrated, and I really liked Axioma Ethica Odini and the Thorn EP. My only gripe with the band is the keyboardist. I don't care for his singing. They don't exactly offend me, but they never do anything to excite me. Grutle has a great clean singing voice. I think he should just take it all over. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 11:43am - Burnsy ""] chrisREX said: Ruun is underrated. THANK YOU! I never understood people hating on that album, especially if they were already Enalaved fans. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:15pm - trioxin_245 ""] Enslaved have always been one of my favorite bands but after Isa I kind of stopped paying attention for whatever reason. It's definitely not bad, I just find myself putting on "Eld" or "Mardraum" a lot more than Ruun. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:15pm - arilliusbm ""] Frost > all else. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:15pm - trioxin_245 ""] Also 'thoughts like hammers' is a pretty off-putting name. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:17pm - trioxin_245 ""] arilliusbm said:Frost > all else. Everyone and their mom has said this to me my whole life and I don't see it. It's definitely an amazing album, but I don't know that it is their best because I love just about every album, for different reasons. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:18pm - arktouros ""] arilliusbm said:Frost > all else. frost is great but this band has that skill of making albums that don't sound the same. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:18pm - trioxin_245 ""] exactly. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:19pm - trioxin_245 ""] I would definitely say that the most underrated Enslaved album is Monumension by far. SO fuckin good bennyhillifier |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:20pm - arilliusbm ""] Cripes, I'm getting raped by the opinion police. It's my favorite album. I like every one I have and the newer ones I've heard. I just don't drool over them anymore. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:21pm - Burnsy ""] Yeah I've met a lot of people that like enslaved buy have never even heard monumension. Convoys to nothingness for the fucking win. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:21pm - trioxin_245 ""] I didn't say it was a valid opinion, I was just saying I didn't share it. edit: WASN'T a valid opinion, ugh |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:23pm - arilliusbm ""] This band will never put out a shoddy product, we can all agree on that. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:26pm - arilliusbm ""] When they played Mark's Showplace in 2006, I broke my knuckle while hitting the floor of the stage in excitement because they played Loke. Also, I take that back. Eld is my favorite album by them. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:27pm - trioxin_245 ""] I don't care if I sound like a homo fan boy, 793 is one of the best metal songs ever written. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:28pm - arilliusbm ""] I need to find the patience to relisten and digest all the stuff theyve done in the past 8 years. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:29pm - trioxin_245 ""] I almost got "We died like men Therefore we never vanished Weak is the one the enemy loves Never betray your origin" tattooed on me when I was younger, but then I realized text tattoos are for spiky haired ed hardy queers. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:31pm - arilliusbm ""] Yea, good tune. Return to Yggdrasil is my jam on that album. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:31pm - trioxin_245 ""] NO THIS SONG IS NOT THAT ONE |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:33pm - arilliusbm ""] Good thing about this band is they started so damn young. They have a lot of creative juices left before (IF) Metallica syndrome hits them. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:40pm - trioxin_245 ""] show with December Wolves was awesome. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 12:42pm - trioxin_245 ""] I think it was in Newport actually. |

| _____________________________ [Aug 9,2012 1:29pm - Yeti ""] i rarely ever hear anyone talk about Blodhemn. i love the savagery. |

| __________________________________ [Aug 9,2012 2:01pm - dreadkill ""] i love all of enslaved's stuff. my favorite is below the lights. mardraum is an album that doesn't get enough love. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 10,2012 10:18am - chrisREX ""] Fuck yeah, Cromlech Gate. I think when they played the Middle East last was the best time of the five times I've seen them. I lost my shit when they played The Voices. bennyhillifier |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 17,2012 8:31am - quintessence ""] I stopped paying attentiong to them after they fell in love with the keyboardist clean singing. The new stuff i check out every so often isnt "bad" but its just boring really. I saw them at the last Hole In the Sky a year ago and I actually stopped watching them half way through their set because I was getting tired of all the new songs. Also it may of been because I just saw Primordial, Mayhem, and Nefilheim... |
