Each Tiamat album is different - so also this

One of the fascinating points of Tiamat me is that virtually no album has the same style as the other. While there are certainly groups in which you can combine individual albums (for example, the early black metal-heavy), but unlike anything in detail.

And so also the latest album "The Scarred People".

Why I forgive "only" 3 stars?
For the following reason:
The album is not bad, that's for sure ("not bad" way, is also Amazon's definition of 3 stars). It runs very well in players.
My problem: I have most of the songs to "pop", that is, too lax, too little heavy metal heavy, too soft, too little bleak etc. What with song number one still quite good starts (synth opener, dark) is in Over the disc always boring.
For me a good slice which can be blare in the background, but nothing I "listen actively" I want to.
Only personal highlights for me are the two live versions at the end of "Devided" and "Cain", both songs from Prey album that I like very much.

I oute me sometimes as a fan of Tiamat albums like "Judas Christ", "Prey" & Co. Therefore, I compare like with these albums. (This one will never get close to the absolute classic "Wild Honey" should everyone be clear)

Conclusion: No highlight in the otherwise almost entirely glorious history of Tiamat.
