I own a number of Moonspell's albums, but I think this one is by far the most interesting out of them all. I love how they threw in the industrial twist here, making things much more experimental sounding and appealing to both fans of Moonspell's earlier works as well as fans of bands like My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult and Ministry. I see that a lot of people rip on this album pretty badly, yet still give it a good rating. I'm not sure what that's all about, but I can tell you that this album will keep your attention with its unique variety of songs ranging from very screamy (Lustmord) to very heavy (Soul Sick) to almost tribal (title track).

Fans of Moonspell's first couple albums will likely not appreciate this one as much as someone with a taste in older industrial looking for something a little darker or with more of a gothic twist (ala Theater of Tragedy, maybe). I am personally a fan of just about every genre of metal with perhaps the exception of rapcore, and I find this album to be a nice blend of things. I especially gave the song "Soul Sick" a lot of air time on the radio while DJing in Nashville, TN. There are also a number of nice melodies thrown into the mix. I highly recommend this album.

A mixture of death,gothic,industrial and electronica,this is an extremely adventurous and well-crafted album coming from one of the better representatives of the genre.Moonspell are an amazing Portuguese act,capable of playing with the limitations of the death-metal format,ultimately giving new shape to old things...

Moonspell demonstrate a flawless ability to blend industrial metal into a mellow gothicdark, mean and moody atmosphere - best appreciated late at night in the dark. A vastly underated band with a talent for styling some great songs, `Cant Bee' being a particular favourite... and the title track is equally awsome. This is the first Moonspell album I have listened too and they have quickly become one of my favourite bands, they demonstrate a fantastic ability to combine their talent for playing good into some outstanding songs. I was particuarly impressed by the vocalist Fernando Ribeiro whose (sometimes harsh and growly, sometimes soft and smooth) voice fits beautifully into the whole picture. As a whole the album travels through so much variety and experimentation of style that I found it took the tracks out of context listening to them individually. The instrumental track `K' is a wonderfully relaxing finale to a (sometimes raging, sometimes peaceful) beast of an album. Highly recommened to those who know what it is to `love' music. Well, you know what I mean (Britney Spears fans steer clear).

I love Moonspell. Irreligious is on my list of top favorite albums ever, and Wolfheart completley made me swoon. I was given the opportunity to fully listen to Butterfly FX, and was hyped to hear another masterpiece. However, listening to Butterfly FX, I was nothing more than incredibly dissapointed. Moonspell seems to be taking a more Nine Inch Nails approach to this album (not that I have anything at all against NIN, I like them as well) but it just doesn't work for them. At all. The best songs on this album are mediocre, the rest are below it. All in all, if you are a first time listener of Moonspell, do not start here. Go with Wolfheart or Irreligious. Long time Moonspell fans.. go ahead and give a listen, but don't expect to fall in love again here.

Being incapable of listening to clean vocals in most instances, Ribeiro's vocals caught me pleasantly by surprise, with nice, tempered "clean" vocals alternating with a very respectable growl. Moonspell alternates pleasantly layered semi-industrial/electronic passages with walls of some of the most crushing guitar power chords I have heard in a while. VERY intelligent, beautiful music that retains a definate metallic edge while being about as innovative as anything else out there right now.
