I love the new album. I've been disconnected with this band the last 4 albums, as I felt the songs in them were really samey and repetitive, with only one or two songs standing out. This album however, while it still has some repetitive parts, a lot of the songs are really fun and actually different from each other! I'm glad they took a longer break this time around, that really paid off!

Good new album. I just wish they'd put one more track on it. 38 minutes is too short! :/

It's sixth because the second half of that album sucks. Difficult choice because the first half is really good.

Glad to say new album is good. Singles were mostly the boring tracks except for Re-Vision and Damnation Flame.

Re-Vision is pretty good. Best one so far. Damnation Flame is okay but no idea why Outer Dimensions or Insatiable were chosen as a singles.

Hasn't that always been Amaranthe's genre though? Combining heavy guitars with samples and catchy poppy choruses? I don't see much difference between now and 10 years ago.

It's kind of funny to hear that the band is too commercialized when they originally sold their melodies as a commercial move. It's like complaining that Napalm Death got too rough.

Also you must think people are so easy to fool with the whole commercialise/cheesy sounding thing = not true music. What if I told you that writing catchy songs and making them meaningful and good is actually harder then banging a bunch of "theoretical" chords together. Music is meant to speak to/from the heart not from the head. That's why people buy "pop" music. I would argue that "true" metal is hard because you need to speak to/from the heart whilst maintain a quality from musical knowledge from the head. Bands that lump a bunch of gritty chores together are not good or true to the message of metal.

You can't be a sellout when your music sounds innovative right from the start of the band existing, lol. They had their own unconventional idea of music. They don't give a fuck about metal elitism. A wonderful thing for me, worth following (if you really like female vocals, unfortunately I don't ).

Honestly, these fans don't even know what metal elitism is and wonder why metal isn't popular. These people should try writing a composition for a complex instrument to realize how hard it is to make it catchy and meaningful. I myself take a stance that there is a thing called "true" metal music just as there are non-classical symphonic music (such as film scores) but that doesn't mean anything at the end of the day. A cake and tart are different things but they can both be tasty and/or nutritional food, which at the end of the is kinda the point? Also compared to classical music with an actually theory, metal music isn't that special. If anything, most metal is an application and inversion of some of these theories and I would argue is more "pop then pop". That's why metal ballads by bands tend to be so cheesy and catchy and epic and make pop songs sound boring in comparison.

I hope you're trying to challenge your preconceived notion of disliking "female vocals" from time to time, because there is such a great variety of unique female voices there is still a good chance you would be missing out else. ;-) I'm also leaning heavily on male vocals, but that's mainly because in the genres I prefer there are really really few female singers.

Well, I do think "Manifest" is better than the last two albums (and I say this as someone that enjoyed those). "Boom!" is uh... not my cup of tea, but the rest of the album's pretty good.

My god, I've finally started to hear the guitar clearly on most of the songs on the their album. Usually the keys were very distracting and drowned out the guitar, but this time the sound is much clearer.

Manifest is a tour-de-force. The chorus are so well written and catchy, really retro also with this 90's Pop vibe blended with their massive modern metal sound (Fearless, Make It Better, Scream My Name, Die And Wake Up). Easily their best album to date!

I loved Helix. Manifest is much better and vocally balanced. It actually reminds me a lot of their earlier stuff in terms of vocal balance. Every song is a banger. The mixing is great too. You can actually hear Nils in the chorus parts now though I think he kinda drowns out Elize in some parts. Still, great album overall but feels so short. Really wish they would do a long song!

Manifest is pretty solid! Definitely a lot better than Helix. Favourites are Fearless, Archangel, The Game, Scream My Name and Boom. Boom is.... definitely interesting but I can't help but love it.

Didn't care about Viral but I'm all about Archangel. Strong is pretty good too.

Archangel is awesome! One of the best modern Amaranthe songs. This new album might actually be pretty good.

Damn you Amaranthe, you did it again didn’t ya? You’ve gone and wrote another simple yet infectious Hook. I promised myself just a couple of spins, it’s a solid single nothing too special...multiple spins later "No one cares when we go down, GOING UP, GOING VIRAL!” Manifest, let’s do this!
