Cosmicism 75/100
To me it sounds more post-black metal though the cover suggests atmospheric BM. Pretty good. Jun 29, 2023
Cosmicism 80/100
Good rock that would have fit in well on the alternative radio in the 90s. Good passion & charisma. Jun 29, 2023

Very high quality song-writing, and the somewhat lo-fi sound is every bit as perfect as that wonderful album cover. It has symphonic parts here and there, but a lot of it is straight black metal, or BM with some synth in the mix. Jun 29, 2023

High-energy music with high-stamina drumming. They were fully in a zone when recording these tracks, and the songwriting is top-tier and succinct. Death metal done extremely well. Jun 26, 2023

First of all, that cover art's style and quite high level of execution just make me so happy. The music starts off with a great style (not surprising because these guys are veterans from other well-established acts), but then track 6 comes in and fills me with energy - definitely the highlight. The next few tracks are almost as good, and the last song feels like Twin Peaks. Jun 24, 2023

Some tracks are so-so, some are good, and some are great, but even some of the so-so ones have some great moments. Tommy especially just knocks me back in my chair multiple times in this record. Jun 24, 2023

Fun really is the right word for some kinds of music. What a cool band. Jun 24, 2023

I'm still coming to terms with the facts that a frog-themed comfy synth album exists, that I love it, and that I've already heard it 6 or 7 times in the past 48 hours. How could you not be intrigued by this album cover? Jun 24, 2023
Cosmicism 80/100
It's a real mix of sub-genres; mostly straight BM & depressive, but a little folk, a little atmospheric, and some parts are quite raw. For me, it's all good but not great. I will try everything from this project, however; the artist's Muvitium project shows how powerful his music can be. Anything by Swartadauþuz is worth a listen to me. Jun 24, 2023

The 1st track doesn't feel like it should be on a full album by this masterful band, it just doesn't have enough of a point. Also, the album would be better with a little trimming; there's a song that takes way too long to end. The good parts are totally top-tier, and I'll be back to listen to those many many times because they show the true ability of Shape of Despair. Jun 24, 2023

A lof of Norwegian BM albums came out in the last couple of months, and this one is maintaining the high level of quality. Though country can affect the character of the music, the strong Drudkh influence is the most astonishing aspect of the album, or maybe a close 2nd to the 100% genuine passion that makes this album so great.

I loved the confessional hardcore punk feeling of the vocals. With this style, you can actually hear the singer's accent, so it helps bring you to Scotland and make the music more specific and real in a way. I think a lot of hipsters like this one. This is a case when I agree with them; it's quite a journey and a chance to reflect. Jun 24, 2023

I was pretty into all the music, but it would be better without so many vocals. Actually, these songs ask too much of Burton, with such variety of clean and harsh singing. The other members should help out; then they'll all realize, 'yup, too many vocals.' Jun 24, 2023

I can only talk about the bliss that lasts for this whole album, but a voice inside me says it's just obvious to anyone who listens, so I don't need to say anything. Anyway, I like the cover art better with the caravan walking across the desert. Jun 21, 2023
Cosmicism 90/100
Very nice album that gets rather emo without being cringeworthy, which is a feat. キメラ's driving beat is absolute paradise with the storm of vocals blowing across it. This album is somewhat overrated but still very good, so I won't harp on that too much. Anyway, the album cover makes no sense, I've finally decided. Jun 21, 2023

I get into the dreary groove here & there on this album, but sometimes it feels just a bit too simple. Jun 20, 2023

My pick of the day! The songs range from very good to extremely awesome, and the drumming is amazing. Jun 20, 2023

It has some good moments and it's a nice soundscape. I don't like how some sections are sung and some songs for me are just so-so. In the end it's OK. Jun 20, 2023

With track 2 this demo took my breath away. I was guessing it would be a fun listen, but wow. Also, considering BMP's youtube avatar, I had to try this one eventually. Jun 18, 2023

Track 10 was a big highlight of 2016 for me, and I'm really glad I tried this whole album from this extremely unique band. Jun 18, 2023

Not quite the sound I was expecting. I enjoyed it somewhat, but I guess it's not my thing. Jun 18, 2023

Gorgeous songwriting played with maximum real emotion. This album blew me away. I love the Sabbath and Misfits influence. Also, these are the best-sounding vocals I've heard on anything from Life of Agony. I look forward to replaying this often. Jun 18, 2023

DT와 더불어 가장 활발한 활동을 하는 스틸 얼라이브 프록메탈 밴드로 영국의 대표밴드 스래쉬홀드와 더불어 독일을 대표하는 프록메탈밴드로 아주 훌륭한 연주력과 작곡력이 이번 앨범에도 퍼포먼스에 광을 내고 있다 May 3, 2024

군터 베르노의 부재가 오히려 곡의 diversity가 증가하는 방향으로 귀결되어 조금 변화된 VP를 느낄수있다. 그 와중에 코어는 전혀 흔들리지 않고 너무나 탄탄한 장르의 전형을 보여주는 뛰어난 앨범이다. 이들 특유의 늘어짐이 가끔은 지루하기도 하지만, 이정도 내공에 이정도 앨범을 찍어내는 이들은 결코 없으므로, 이제 당연히 명예의 전당에 입성해야 한다. May 10, 2024

1990년도에 대체 무슨 일이 있었길래... rust in peace, painkiller, spiritual healing, cowboys from hell까지... 가슴이 웅장해진다. 나머지 앨범들도 손에 꼽을 정도로 좋아하는 앨범이지만 거의 모든 곡이 취향 저격인 앨범은 이것 밖에 없다. May 7, 2024

드디어 이들의 약점이었던 절제된 기타솔로가 어느정도 해금되었습니다. 지난 앨범도 만족스러웠는데 역시나 이번에도 실망하지 않게 해주네요. 나이가 들어감에 따라 내가 좋아하는 밴드들도 하나둘씩 늙어가고 멤버들도 세상을 떠나는 걸 보니 매우 슬프네요. 반덴플라스는 계속 음악활동 왕성히 해주었으면 좋겠습니다 May 8, 2024

너무 탄탄하다. 40년 가까이 축적된 음악성이 드러난 앨범...연주, 곡 구성, 녹음 등 나무랄 부분이 없다. May 10, 2024

밀레니엄 시기의 소위 '팝수성' 가득한 사운드로 청자를 타격한다. 특기할만한 것은 그 타격 지점이 RATM도, Limp Bizkit과 Korn, Slipknot도 내딛지 않았던 공간이라는 사실. May 10, 2024

이름값에 걸맞는 앨범. 특히 유럽 내에서 그들의 인기는 타의 추종을 불허한다. 처음부터 끝까지 단단한 구성과 강력한 연주가 여전하다. 하지만 들은 후 이렇다할 임팩트나 싱글지향적 멜로디 부재의 한끝이 아쉽다. May 5, 2024

이 앨범 그냥 시대를 관통했습니다. 2030 고독사가 늘어나고 점점 사람들과의 관계가 멀어져 가는 요즘 시대에 살아가는 우리들에게 받아야할 위로를 이 앨범이 하나의 동화처럼 들려주기 때문입니다. 그리고 이 앨범의 모티브가 된 실화는 현 우리나라의 문제점을 그대로 나타나는 게 더 소름돋습니다. May 12, 2024

만약 "드림시어터"의 음악으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 DT중 가장 쳐지고 가벼운 음반이 될 것이다, 만약 드림시어터의 "음악"으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 재즈,블루스 등을 잘 버무려 본인들만의 스타일을 접목시켜 만들어낸 이색적인 작품이 될 것이다. 물론 호불호가 당연히 있을것이다. 하지만 이 앨범은 망작이라는 평가를 받기에는 수려한 곡들이 가득가득 들어차있다. May 18, 2024
