On my second listen and really enjoying Prequelle.
Being more of a metal guy, the opening of Ashes, Rats and Faith are really fantastic. Still, I can't help but tap my toes and sing along with the AOR style of the rest. The juxtaposition of creepy, evil lyrics with soaring stadium rock is a pretty cool (and funny) aesthetic. See the Light, Dance Macabre, and Life Eternal are my favorites of these. The instrumentals are a nice surprise too. I didn't expect that. Miasma is my favorite of them.
I notice the album is already getting a good share of butt-hurt on Amazon. Too bad. I think this a good Ghost album even though it's a bit different than what came before.
