Dimmu Borgir-Death Cult Armageddon

Good.
I really really love Puritanical but not any of their other stuff. Maybe that's why some people have told me it sucks. It seems to me that out of nowhere, they decided to be a great band, not just another generic keyboard black metal style band.

I liked what I heard of the album(the whole album actually)... anyone who says that they didn't change at all from PEM to DCA is dead wrong... listen to the backing orchestra and you should be able to notice a major difference. I'm a little dissapointed though because most of the songs didn't seem to have the "sinister" atmosphere that PEM got from the live orchestra.

You've seen a lot of negative comments about DCA??? Huh?! There's like 5 people including me who critisize it or something! hehe
but bah, people are praising it like its the best thing since Master of Puppets.

I think its ok.
But its not as good as Enthrone or Puritanical by a long shot, not even a very long one

I fail to see how Dimmu Borgir can be called generic when they were one of the innovators? That's like calling King Crimson generic because so many bands became prog rock after them!

i dont like it, it sounds too close to pem for me, they should stop before they being to get repetitive than they are already

umm, who here called it generic? Stop being a fanboy and stepping ahead of yourself with the blind fanatical defenses.

hmm i dont know if their old stuff was really that generic, well it is now since just about every nu black band plays it, oh well, dimmu is hit or miss with me anyway

Ive only heard one song from it, which was "Vredesbyrd", and I must say it surprised me...in a good way...I hated Puritania...that was pure sell out shit.
But, at least with "Vredesbyrd" you can hear that this is the band that brought us the great albums "Stormblåst" and "For All Tid", which were really good.
And the fact that "Vredesbyrd" is sung in Norwegian is really a step forward...well out of the sell out abyss...
maybe I should check out some of the other songs on their new album...though the title sounds quite crappy.

Puritania was the best song on PEM, I was hoping they would model this album after it. Instead, this album has 2 of their best songs and a bunch of other songs I fast forward past.

Puritania was one of the only songs off PEM i enjoyed a lot, but it got old a little too fast for me with the simple structure and the very very simple riffs, i mean that song had like 4 different chords lol i think the vocal effect was quite interesting though

Really?? I welcomed Puritania. It was definately an interesting and successful experiment...but I agree that it doesn't really stand-up to repeated listening. heh, one of my friends got absolutely hooked on Puritania (omg that is an AMAZING riff! the said riff being one of those completely anonymous distorted ones that I wouldn't even have NOTICED was a riff.....his all time fave band is korn so that explains that) but he didn't bother looking into the rest of Dimmu.
My favourite song on PEM is Kings of the Carnival Creation. That song is amazing.
