Bands/albums you want to like, for some reason

[V.V.V.V.V.]

The arrangement is really, really abstract, so I'd think you'd like it or something...

 

[DarkBliss]

Every time I listen to it, it just sounds like a broken record.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

You're a lost cause.

 

[DarkBliss]

That record has got to be the longest 37 minutes of music I ever had to sit through.

:zombie: Please stop...I'm crying!

 

[DarkBliss]

Well damn, man, it's frustrating to listen to an album whose flow you don't understand, even with all its inventiveness and what not.

How could I forget: At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours

Often considered one of the, if not the best, death metal albums of all time amongst those with good taste, I wish that I loved this album. I actually think it's pretty good, but I don't find it as good as most claim it to be. I find it very hard to get into, and feel that it lacks flow and unity. And I do like some inaccessible dm such as Demilich or Molested.

I feel the same way. I've listened a few times but i'm struggling to get into it.

I agree here. It's definitely good, but undeserving of the godhood it's been granted, imo. I think people just decided to love it irrationally.

 

[DarkBliss]

It came out in 1992, hence it must be great. There's your rationale.

 

[Mort Divine]

Or you people who are stating it isn't as good have simply not given it enough time.

I started out completely hating the album to loving it through a year or so of listens (funny that this also happened with The Mantle.)

 

[DarkBliss]

It's not bad, but it doesn't flow the way I want it to flow.
Better than that labyrinth of broken machinery anyway, that's for sure.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

If art was all about what the viewer or listener or observer using any sense wanted...it would be ineffectual and worthless.

 

[DarkBliss]

Nah, I'm just venting. It's just frustrating that an album as inventive as Nespithe, completely fails to capture my attention.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Oh, well...sorry then

 

[Life Sucks]

I find it odd that I got into Nespithe rather quickly, but TRitSiO hasn't even clicked with me yet. Especially since I'm a longtime death metal connoisseur.

 

[Belligerent]

I tried really hard to get into Electric Wizard and other bands that sound like them. The whole genre bores me to tears.

Heh. I can't get into stoner doom either. I wouldn't say that I want to like it, though. But I do find it strange that I can't get into it, since I like Cathedral and early Sabbath, which supposedly greatly influenced stoner doom.

 

[cookiecutter]

I think I like the sound of Electric Wizard more than the actual music

 

[Hubster]

I love Cathedral's music, but by GOD I hate Dorrian's vocals. I can never get into them, no matter how hard I try. He's awful and shouldn't be allowed to sing.

Lee Dorrian is one of the most charismatic vocalists in all of metal! I love his voice.
