[Chromatose]

Wut, not a Soilwork thread?!

but seriously now, I haven't heard this in a longgggggggg time but it's really great. Pretty sure it was David who made me listen to them years ago? Confirm/Deny

 

[azal]

yeah, I went digging threw my CDs which I keep in storage and decided to dust this one off today along with Arch Enemy - Burning Bridges, Death - Human and Ark - s/t.


hurray for nostalgia!

 

[Dead Winter]

TRYYYYYYYIIN TO BUURRRN THE SUUUN!!!!!!

 

[neal]

man, i havent listened to this in years! ill have to put it on later when i have time.

 

[Brooks]

Natural Born Chaos sucks.

 

[azal]

and there you have it.

 

[Dead Winter]

Brooksie is always good for a laugh. Not just any laugh...the really awesome kind of laughs.

 

[Captain Beard]

I own it and Three.

 

[Calamitas1786]

RAAAAAIIINNBOOOW SSEEEEEERRRRPEEENNNTT!!

I see why Chris doesn't contribute lyrics to Arch Enemy.

 

[Captain Beard]

I'd listen to him before Angela anymore.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

On a related note, Bury Me An Angel is such an awesome song. Actually there are like 5 awesome song from the first three arch enemy albums that almost justify their existence. Too bad all their songs aren't like that.

 

[Captain Beard]

I like most of the first 3. It just kinda drops off, though.

 

[Calamitas1786]

Anyone notice a really heavy Cult influence on Three?

 

[Captain Beard]

Yes.

 

[Calamitas1786]

Just checking.

 

[neal]

man, i havent listened to this in years! ill have to put it on later when i have time.

listened to it, yeh it fuckin rules! in fact, why is this not hailed as a swedish melodic death classic?! i read somewhere in the past that michael amott actually wrote a lot of the riffs for this even though its chris' band? dunno if thats true, but it doesnt really sound like arch enemy.

 

[Captain Beard]

He did, yes, says so in the liner notes.

You ever hear Spiritual Beggars? Mike's side project, and doesn't sound much like AE either. He's versatile aside from the fact AE is stale as shit.

 

[Super Mahrio]

Spirtual Beggers rocks butthole...
fuckin really hate AE after Mangela joined...

 

[azal]

yeah I can't say I hate it, but I haven't listened to an AE album all the way through since Wages of Sin.

I love the first three though.

I'm not sure how I feel about the melodic singing Armageddon, I remember not liking the album and selling it, but that's probably more because it didn't sound like this one. Maybe I'll download and have another listen.
