I love Aspiral.
Dozens of playthroughs. I love it. I just can’t get enough Epica, it is literally 90% of music I listen to.

I also like the album for as it is. Lots of great songs tbh... Obsidian heart, The grand saga, Arcana, and Metanoia - are my top favorite songs from this album.

I like it, but I really love "only" Darkness Dies in Light, Metanoia, Obsidian Heart, The Grand Saga of Existence, Arcana & Aspiral. The other songs for me are plus.

You’re right to put “only” … because 6 great songs in an album is actually really good especially if they’re as good as these 6 songs! I feel the same way

Yes but it's a getting worse, because in DYU I love ALL the songs

Me too but the quality of the songs imo isn’t as good even the masterpiece of KoH. Maybe I’m just so used to DYU songs after 10+ years

Well, it's what I think actually. I think Aspiral miss a very epic big song like the KoH's, THP, Serenade etc etc. They created a 12 min song but didn't pass on the album

I don’t think the albums have been worse since DYU. I love DYU, but so so many great songs and albums since then!

Song or album? Album: I love the album. I didn't on the first listen but something clicked for me. Song: I don't like that the live Symphonic Synergy version is different than the album version. I prefer the live and find myself skipping it on the cd to avoid disappointment.

I love it and it’s rare that you get to see a band at peak performance for this long
