Antimatter

[Erik]

lol yeah i typed without thinking

i'm leaving it as it is though because BATHORY INF> NEW ANATHEMA

eternity, imo, is by far the weakest of the pre-AFDTE anathemas, but ymmv

 

[snow2fall]

natural disaster has "pulled under at 2000 m/s" which kicks ass and just makes me fucking angry... i hate when bands still CAN rule, only they choose to SUCK instead, yet tease us with ONE great song

And they didn't even want to include that song on the album. Glad they did. Violence is brilliant too. Apart from that... well. A Natural Disaster is probably my least favourite Anathema release, closely followed by Judgement. A Fine Day To Exit on the other hand is a great album.


Curious about the next Antimatter album. Antimatter without Duncan Patterson.

"Pre-production is already underway for the fourth Antimatter album, entitled 'Leaving Eden'. Recording will take place sometime in the first half of 2006, possibly in Studio 33, Liverpool.

As yet, the only confirmed guest musician for 'Leaving Eden' is Danny Cavanagh, who will play lead guitar. It is hoped that Rachel Brewster (violin, Planetary Confinement) will reprise her role."

Do I care? There is a handful of good songs on Judgement, but nothing really outstanding. Some parts of that album bore and even annoy me. Nothing of that when I listen to A Fine Day To Exit.

I refuse to compare pre-Alt4 stuff to latter-day Anathema other than that I prefer the old stuff.

judgement RULES, the last three songs aren't as good as the others but still it's AWESOME

So no more female vocals?

I really like lights out + the live one, haven't heard savior because when duncan sent me it it had a cd of stock images in it (people skydiving and shit)
whats planetary confinment like?

 

[Erik]

whats planetary confinment like?

almost no electronics, very little drumming. focuses on acoustics a lot more than the previous albums. one word review: AWESOME!

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Planetary Confinement was almost certainly the album I listened to most in 2005.

 

[unhinged]

just listened to a track on myspace, pretty bleak (in a good way)
one for my ever growing list

 

[snow2fall]

whats planetary confinment like?

Almost as good as Saviour. So give Saviour a listen too if you have a chance. Planetary Confinement is not as fluent, it lacks a certain consistency. Mick and Duncan recorded separately which you can clearly hear on the record. It's obvious both within the single songs as well as in the tracklist: One song by Duncan, one song by Mick, etc.

Btw, no I don't think you''re a dick. It's fine.

 

[unhinged]

ha, cheers

that'll get the tongues wagging haha

 

[Sadguru]

Surely one of my favorite band. Lights Out reign supreme, check it out!

Btw, how do you like the Stream of Passion album?

Since I enjoy Mick's tracks more than Duncan's on PC, I'm not worried about a decline on the next album, though another bleak instrumental closer will be sorely missed...on the same note, Violence is a great attempt at entering post-rock territory. I completely disagree with the assessment of recent Anathema, but like Exit more than most despite the borrowings Jay is so quick to point out.

Live@K13 has been licenced to Greek label Sleaszy Rider http://www.sleaszyrider.com/ and will be re-released later this year with 2 bonus tracks.

The release date for this has been set at 13th April. I'm really interested in hearing what it'll be like. I personally thought all of Mick Moss's tracks were better than any of Duncan Patterson's on Planetary Confinement so this next album could be really fantastic.

 

[Reign in Acai]

They better ask Duncan to turn right around and assist with the next album. Though I have only listened to it one time, and I may eat my words later, the new release has fallen flat. All the charm that was laced with in the previous offerings is nowhere to be found here. Antimatter is a band who puts me in a somber, yet tranquil state. I responded to "Leaving Eden" with indifference and a sigh.

 

[Crimson Death]

Flat?! It is their best album yet. Easily.
