Difficult Album

Difficult, difficult. ARCTURUS, from Norway have desöfteren changed their musical style. They began in 1996 with Death.- and black metal, so they played in 1997 more experimental metal the strings also showed. "The Sham Mirrors" in 2002 then, was a mix of Black. and prog metal, which came across very well. In its fourth Output "Sideshow Symphonies" from 2005, they mixed all the styles together and meet so many music journalists of the time, this album was really well done. Now, after 10 years hiatus, the fifth album titled: "Arcturian".
Although 10 pieces spread over 47:46 minutes offer rather interesting music that moves between Prog-Metal and Dark Metal with a touch of death metal, yet seems to me "Arcturian" something baseless ago. The styles change very quickly and you get when listening quasi hardly rest. Almost every song has a different style trademarks. One should ... No, you have to take a long time for this album .. !! Technically music "Arcturian" moved on from Arcturus airberlin level, also are the song structures in itself, closed and well understood, but ...
Really hot, I will not with this Silberling somehow. I'm generally a dull, no doubt, but when an album almost from piece to piece is varied that I do not then something "too much". Highlighting, I want to but then the four songs: "fear", "warp", "Pale" and "Bane", all of which I like very much. What remains ...:
"Arcturian" is not easy to digest. Those who, like me, knows Arcturus since its inception, will probably find more into it in this album. For the rest: antesten Only in peace and then judge. I vacillate 3-4 stars, but since I usually "per band" review, I round to the effect on 4 stars. Although scarce 4 stars, but still.
