Does Projector suck???

[Metal88]

What does everyone think of Projector compared to the other albums? On another thread it looked to me like a LOT more people than I expected think it's one of their best albums??? Are you fucking kidding me? Biggest disappointment ever to me. Take a look below at the company I put it with and I think you'll understand how I feel about it. Anyhow I'd like a large amount of data to get a better idea of what DT fans in general think of the album.

Metal88's "Biggest fuck up's ever" list:
1) Dark Tranquillity - Projector
2) Megadeth - Risk
3) In Flames - The stuff after Colony
4) Metallica - Load (of shit)

For some reason other than putting Skydancer as their number one album, I can't say which of the rest is the best.
So I can't really vote on this one.
I can say for sure you need to listen to it more.

It took a while for me to get into the cd, but when I finally "got" it, I realized what an amazing work of art it is. A tremendous leap forward from their early cds (Skydancer-Gallery).

it's awesome. not skydancer-level, but definitely something my world could not do without.

@metal88: please note how you haven't been suggested to stand on your head to let more blood flow to your brain yet. that's because your tastes in music are your tastes in music and we respect them.

Listen to it more? Nah. Just to clear things up, I'm no newbie. I bought "The Gallery" just after it was released and loved it, this is what got me into DT. I bought Projector as soon as it was out and listened to it quite a bit. I still think they were just joking.

 

[Ormir]

I think it's their best album.

 

[Qsilver]

I think it's the best one of the last 5 DT albums.

 

[Fury]

I think it's a great album. Maybe not the best one, but I do love it!

 

[Lutz]

Their 2nd best.

 

[sydonie]

I think Projector's their best album. I agree with Dolphz, it's a work of art. Mikael's clean vocals are some of the most amazing in the world of heavy metal, in my opinion. They're absolutely unique and have such a mournful, emotional quality. And I really love the combo of clean and growling vocals (his in particular).

Projector has been one of my absolute favorite albums for the past couple years.

 

[Wolfman Von Jones]

Not at all.

[Parasite]

It's my favorite DT album behind "Gallery"

 

[dredd_hedd]

I'll say that Projector's their most important work, but best? I'd give that honor to either The Gallery or Damage Done.

 

[BiatchGuy]

Projector kicks your ass.




...and so does Load

 

[Zero888]

i love projector, but i find that haven is much catchier and i can listen to haven a lot more mainly because i think the lyrics on haven mean more to me, i dunno, but projector is really good, its much better than the minds i

Why dont you go spam elsewhere, like random burns on satori's threads you stupid fanboy asshole.

 

[MacMoney]

Their second best album after Skydancer, if you don't count the Trail of Life Decayed demo.

 

[Sunjammer]

Simple answer: No, Projector does not suck.

 

[rahvin]

@smekermann: you see, macmoney is a huge fan of early dt, so maybe the trail of life decayed demo in his view was a fucking masterpiece, or at least a masterpiece of heavy petting. can't say i blame him either: skydancer imo is stays their best.
