Albums currently kicking your ass

Getting saucy on Christmas Eve.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

I waited awhile to listen to this. But I'm really digging it. Black tinged doom... sorta like a way more doom Faustcoven

 

[Krow]

reminds me of spooky halloween black metal.

Sacramentum

Have you come to the realisation that this is easily better than the best Dissection album yet?

Haha it's a great damn album for sure. Then again all those Swedish albums are fantastic and interchangeable.

It's strange that a Sunny Day Real Estate fan would call something emo derogatorily.

Nah, it's about context. Emo and doom metal do not really fit that well together.

That's fucking retarded, of all the main metal subgenres doom metal is the most in-touch emotionally. Your opinions are shit mate, fuck off back to 2001.

I don't mean "emo" as shorthand for emotional. I mean it, in this context, as shorthand for a kind of whiny romantic outlook, particularly one with a juvenile or youthful approach, especially awful when paired with the creepy stalker vibes Watching from a Distance provides. It's basically dear diary doom metal. Dear diary, today I stalked this attractive young woman. Dear diary, when will she notice me?

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I'd say that's a complete misinterpretation of what Watching from a Distance and the like are truly about but okay there bud.

 

[CiG]

Sounds like a great premise for a serial killer film.

Modern masterpiece.

Sounds like a great premise for a serial killer film.

Reminds me of Melody Lane by Uncle Acid. Songs about a guy stalking a woman wanting to drug her and she slashes his arm up with a knife when he gets too close.

your interpretation implies you haven't exactly read the lyrics very closely so idk why i'm bothering really, but i'd argue that aside from the occasional on-the-nose line it's quite mature, in the sense of being weathered and weighed down by painful, hard-earned self-knowledge. there is a childlike sense of wonder and hope shining through it, but that's a far cry from the kind of teenybopper shit you're trying to compare it to.

It's an incredibly beta whine fest of epic proportions. I gave it a fair shot and it made me disgusted at the person that wrote it.

Feelings are only for girls. Real men have hearts hewn from stone.
