The next Within Temptation album

It was the same with TU. I adore an album the most when I listen to it the second time, yep it's ALWAYS the second time. I'm so thrilled about this album! <3
When the new CDs from Tarja and The Birthday Massacre came out I really loved them but there were still 1-3 songs which I would only rate 2-3/5. But on The Unforgiving I can't find a single song I don't adore with all my heart and that I wouldn't rate 5*/5 even though I would try hard to find something I don't like. I even love the concept, the comic, the story (from what I know already).
Thank you so much, Within Temptation, for another piece of art and for music that gives me once again so much strength!

I freaking adore Murder. I love it so much <3

In response to the lyric talk.. I feel that a lot of the lyrics individually are actually really easy to relate to, if you don't think about it as a story.. I think a lot of the lyrics that sound literal can be taken metaphorically too.
Of course, my goal upon finding out it was going to be a concept album was to be able to find lyrics I could relate to, so I may just be biased

Got my copy today as my HMV got it in late! grr!
I'm so so happy i started kissing the album how weird is that? O_o

I absolutely agree with you! And I'm always searching for lyrics I can relate to, too.

The Unforgiving enters Dutch album chart at #2.

I officially hate Adele's success now. It's ridiculous.

Other countries:
Belgium: 5 (Flanders), 27 (Walloon)
Sweden: 7

^ Don't diss Adele Although I do understand exactly what you mean!
I got my album on Friday, the deluxe set. Let me just say...
OMS what an album!! I love it I also found my name, a bonus

I ordered it so it should be coming soon.
But i've listened to some songs from the unforgiving and it sounds amazing. Songs like A Demon's Fate and Iron are already some faves

^ You will like it, I know

^ Making recommendations will never be the same again.

^^ A Demon's Fate and Iron are two of my favourites as well.

^ Mwahahaha I love using that line. I make references to WT lyrics on a daily basis! Today, my mom asked who I was with for my project, I said no one, then I was like 'I've been left out alone like a damn criminal' She didn't get it, but it was still funny.

You may have already seen the chart position for the UK - #23 (and #1 in the Rock charts ), but now the US position is known too - it's #50 (and #14 in the Rock charts). I think it's pretty good, must have been a long time since an album by a Dutch artist was so high in the US album charts.

Huzzah! This is amazing!

Ah, that's awesome! I wonder how much it'll have to climb in order to get on the radio...

*makes mental note to start pestering radio stations about WT*
