Is it really good? I'm not really into metal, and some purists seem to hate it.

The cover is not bad.

Well, most of the criticism I see is about the midi horns, and the dense production, but I get the feeling that the horns are meant to feel artificial.
I mean he's a damn musician if he wanted actual horns he would have got horn players.
I think the best songs are where he uses the wall-of-sound guitars and xylophones and bagpipes and everything. Black Metal fans are upset that anyone not trve kvlt make black metal, but I like it

What is this thread about, exactly? Is it the artwork or the music that's supposed to be avant-garde? Is it the artwork or the music that's supposed to be essential? Does it even make sense to call an album cover "essential" on its own?

>>55451588
Yeah cause it's a work of art on its own. And by essential I mean actual popular music with weird packaging.
