Anyone want to tell me what happened to Borknagar?

[Zephyrus]

All downhill after Quintessence.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

They suck.

 

[Cythraul]

This may sound weird coming from me but I actually like Borknagar's first four albums quite a bit. Those along with the Emperor discography were pretty much the soundtrack of my teenage years. Anything from Empiricism and after either bores me or overwhelms me with its Velveeta factor.

All downhill after Quintessence.

this is the correct opinion.

 

[challenge_everything]

Never cared for the post-Garm era much. Though I do have a soft spot for Origin funnily enough.

 

[challenge_everything]

I especially don't get the Quintessence love. One of the most horrid production jobs ever.

 

[damnromulans]

"Velveeta factor" - a brilliant catchphrase that belongs in the contemporary American vernacular. here to stay.

It sounds very compressed, I agree; but that doesn't change the fact that the songwriting is stellar.

 

[Cythraul]

I don't mind the production.

 

[Zephyrus]

I love the production and the atmosphere it creates.

 

[Cythraul]

Yeah, I actually think it sort of works.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Anything bad about the sound of Quintessence is offset by one simple reason: Colossus.

 

[Einherjar86]

Possibly my favorite Borknagar song.

 

[IntoPhagist]

I think Colossus is the only awesome song on the album, the rest is not as good.

 

[Einherjar86]

The whole album is awesome, but the best songs are (in my opinion): "Ruins of the Future," "Colossus," and "Invincible."

 

[Pessimism]

You know, you could actually ask Borknagar as they happen to have a forum here.


Shit thread.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

so shitty as to make you respond, i see. now fuck off and leave my thread forever.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Molested reformed.

 

[mutantllama]

You wanna know what happened?





They stopped using monkey noises.

 

[Cythraul]

I love that part.
