I've seen a few Scarsicks up there. That album has to be one of the most disappointing this year for me.

 

[MadTinus]

am I the only one who thought the Nile album was quite disappointing?

No! In fact al albums after Black Seeds couldn't really live up i.m.o.

 

[stefan86]

I like all previous Nile albums.
And yeah, Scarsick sucks

 

[LifeDepraved]

Tried Nightingale, not my thing. I love all Nile, and Scarsick has some really cool stuff on it. The lyrics make it happen though imo.

 

[Phoenix5]

The only song that was like OMG!!!!!!! was Cribcaged otherwise it was kind of bland.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

I've tried listening to OK Computer, the one before the latest, and the latest.

I've also tried to listen to Thom Yorke's solo album and I just don't like it.

well maybe theyre just not for you, but I'd really recommend listening to "Kid A" and my personal favorite "Amnesiac". ^_^

That was my favorite.

 

[stefan86]

I just think Scarsick sounds stupid. Just seems like a "WOW I'M OPENMINDED" statement more than a solid attempt at songwriting.

 

[Katatonic89]

Porcupine Tree - FOABP is the only "woohoo" album this year so far.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

you must live under a rock

 

[Katatonic89]

Ops forgot about Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde!

Scourge if Malice, fuck off. Why do you even care about what I like?

 

[LifeDepraved]

Ops forgot about Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde!

I just finally heard that album, I'm in love with it. And I'm glad it's all in French...what a beautiful language.

To each its own I must say, but I think it is incredibly awesome.

I just think its quite uninspired by their standards. Not bad by any means but it doesnt grab me like I expected it to.
