Albums currently kicking your ass

[King Richard]

Just listened to Age of Shadows by Ayreon for the first time. Pretty kickass tune.

 

[JontRevolting]

 

[IntoPhagist]

Blind Guardian = Gay as hell? Get a fucking life.

 

[Xorv]

Blind Guardian is great, Valhalla is a hell of a song.

 

[DEATH_TO_THE_FALSE]

Blind Guardian is great, Valhalla is a hell of a song.

Follow The Blind is a hell of a album.

Blind Guardian = Gay as hell? Get a fucking life.

Not Blind Guardian dickface, only that album. Read before you post.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

 

[JontRevolting]

Pretty underrated and pretty damn awesome.

 

[Onder]

The new Nunslaughter EP.

EDIT: He sounds like Chris Barnes in the second song, hah.

Yeah, that album blows. It has one really good song and two decent ones. Other than that it's bland and uninspired.

In his defense though, all you wrote was "gay as hell" after he posted the album; so it could be taken that you thought either the album or the band was gay.

Pictures of random shit

Message received. Though most of the albums on the last couple pages were pretty legible to me (Night Conquers Day, for example). I'll start including subheadings.

Imperium Dekadenz - Procella Vadens

I'm glad several of you have mentioned this album lately. This is exactly what I am in the mood for right now.

Possibly the heaviest BM album of the decade.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Naa It's good IMO. Probably their worst but still enjoyable as a fan.

Totally, very heavy album. I actually enjoy it more than their previous release, although that one seems to get rated higher. "A Million Moons" and "An Autumn Serenade" are majestic.

But it's a thread about albums not bands. So i thought everybody knew i was talking about the album. Anyway, it's not a problem. I'll forgive him.

On my first listen, I only enjoyed "An Autumn Serenade" onward. But every time I listen to it I work my way back to enjoying the first half. Last time for me it picked up on "Ego Universalis", so I'll probably enjoy "A Million Moons" next listen.

One the other hand, I enjoyed their first album in its entirety on the first listen. I think its reward is more immediate, whereas Procella Vadens has more return value. I noticed that this is a trend with German bands.

By the way, album kicking my ass:

Altar of Plagues - White Tomb (just for Grant)

 

[SweptbackFlame]

 

[Einherjar86]

Some reviews criticized "A Million Moons" for being too monotonous, but I think it just creates an amazing atmosphere; such an ethereal, mystical voyage.

 

[Eligos]

Well I'm listening to the album now so I'll let you know what I think.

Apologetics section:

1. Just got the joke, Grant. Wasn't sounding out "Read before you post."

2. Patrick, the first half is now just as awesome as the last. "A Million Moons" is a great track.
