X's & the Eyes, is Anders Manga newest release. The fifth album is among a string of fantastically well balanced dark Goth music. With its vibrating beats, electronically blended mystical tones and organized electronics, Anders Manga has done it again. His distinguished deep Lestat like voice along with Sco & Devallia's musical genius on the synth and keyboards, will leave you anxious to get to the dance floor; and crave to listen in any way you can to take in every musical note created by this band. Anders Manga truly knows how to create the atmosphere for Goth dark wave brooding, or the Gothic fantasy dance floor swaying. They have perfectly blended the distinctive beats we club goers know and love. The added songs "Stroke the Fire" that have the presence of harder rock; tease the pallet, and then the softer musical touch of "These colors never run" & "100,000 tears" give the album further consistency. A recent hit on the UK charts is "There will be blood" and the title track "X's & the Eyes" along with "Apple" I predict, are soon to follow in its tracks. This band plays to the heart of the gothtronica, and each new album has escalated in undoubtedly producing awesome songs that just keep adding up on the Ipod's "most want to listen to list" on and off the dance floor! If you don't have any of the Anders Manga collection, you are truly missing a staple in the Gothic music genre.

Didn't think it could ever get as good as One Up for the Dying but I have to say, this is the best album yet! It's been a looong time since I bought an album that was good all the way through. Excellent!

People like to classify this as goth but this is just a good modern electronic rock album!

Not much more can be said except to agree with previous reviews that this must Anders Manga's best album yet. It is completely amazing, coming from a solid line of several other amazing albums.
