Acoustic guitars on "Universal????"

[karpsmom]

So I keep reading reviews and they keep talking about acoustic guitars on Universal. I have listened to the album about 30 times and have not heard a single acoustic guitar. Do all these reviewers think clean electric guitars are acoustic or did Borknagar manage to make their acoustics sound like clean electrics or am I just crazy?

Please, Oystein and/or Jens, clear this up!

Thank you!!!

(PS, Universal is possibly my favorite Bork album now)

I guess they're talking about the ones on 'My Domain', but they're not really acoustic per se.

 

[Jens Fredrik Ryland]

stirr... for example?

 

[Øystein G. Brun]

Yeah, it seems like some people don't manage to differ between acoustic guitar, classical guitar and clean(electric guitar). For UNIVERSAL we only used clean guitar, no acoustic or classical guitar...;-)

 

[karpsmom]

Ah THANK YOU!

It's just the dumb reviewers. I remember when Opeth's DAMNATION album came out and reviewers were calling it a great acoustic album, but in reality it's an all clean electric album.

 

[AnTz0r]

not all. there are 12-stringed acoustic guitars and regular 6-string acoustic guitars played on some damnation tracks.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

well the vast majority, it's certainly not a full blown acoustic album.

Im currently in Louisiana recording for 10 different bands......a SHITLOAD of songs. I took a tour of a custom guitar factory yesterday and they make custom wood/ carbon fiber acoustics that are designed and tuned (in the wood itself) to whatever tuning the user desires.....So they can have specific guitars built for A or D or C tuning......its crazy

10 bands? Goddamn man, you're crazy.

Rofl knew I wasn't crazy when I thought I hadn't heard any. There's a section on Abrasion Tide that sounds like it has acoustic guitars. =)

10 bands? Wow, that is pretty outstanding, congratulations! Wait, does Borknagar know about this? And is one of those ten bands Borknagar?
