Borknagar - Origin

[Alec Walter Conway]

Just got my hands on it today.

I love it.

I'll stick to only this for now, I'll come in with more elaborate stuff when I've gone through it a few times.

Cheers!



And gratz on the great album V! Sounds awesome!

It's a gorgeous album!

I've had it on my computer for some time now (yes, I WILL buy the album of course) and I was extremly anxious and had very high expectations on this one. Upon my first listen, I was totally dissapointed and I realized that I've listened throughout the whole record without taking any notice whatsoever of the music itself. I was worried and afraid that the Borkies had become too much background music for my taste. Gave it another spin and listened more focused. It grew on me, but not much...
Right now, I am actually more mad at myself than on "Origin", because I know that I will enjoy this record eventually. I really hope that this is one of those records that grow on you and then becomes a great record. Once I buy the damn thing I will get the lyrics as well, and the lyrics means much for me when it comes to digesting music. Ans as we all know, neither V nor the Borkies has ever dissapointed us in this area.

Will probably come back with more thoughts when I love it...

I'm looking forward to hearing it, I listened to the one song on their myspace and liked it a lot.

I love it, the vocal melodies are great and sit well in the music. The flute and recorder were a great touch to this album. I'm sure the whole band is proud of this record.

I need to check this one out ASAP.

Are the rest of the tracks better than the one put up on the internet? I thought the one they put up was "good" but not impressive.

Some songs I liked them straightfully, others took a bit of time, still not my fav record of this year
