Emperor fags rejoice

[Cynical]

The band hasn't put out anything worthwhile since Anthems. And even then, i'm stretching it a bit.

Honestly, I've always found Anthems to be their most unlistenable work. HIV Equilibrium, aside from the vocals, is a completely vapid album, but is entirely competent. Prometheus verges on unlistenable at times, but mostly is just "meh". Anthems, on the other hand, is stupidly jarring, and its gay keyboard sections are lacking in any power, possessing only nauseating sentimentallity. Even its absolutely best riffs (Ensorcelled by Khaos) seem like random strings of notes joined together.

It also has "Thus Spake the Nightspirit", which, aside from "An Elegy of Icaros", is the most unlistenable song in the Emperor catalogue.

And to the person who said that Anthems is better than Wrath of the Tyrant- you're gay.

The song Thus Sapke the NIghspririt is awesome, I was just blasting that song in my truck this afternoon

 

[Cynical]

Thank you for empirically demonstrating that it sucks.

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

fuck you, Its good.

 

[Arrakis]

Awe....someone made fun of your favorite band.

Quick summary: The band hasn't put out anything worthwhile since Anthems. And even then, i'm stretching it a bit. This band's discography reveals a pattern: They've become better musically, but worse artistically. Yeah yeah, it's just my opinion. Well, I happen to think i'm right.

So you can whine all you want. Hope you feel better.

i could care less about you making fun of a band. all opinions about the band aside, whenever someone tries to predict the future on a internet message board like you did, they just sound like an idiot. Your opinions on the band are irrelevent, as are mine. Assuming things like you did, the day you hear the news is just stupid. Plain and simple.

why?

 

[Day_Before_Dawn]

I think it's excellent news.

I personally loved Prometheus and even Equilibrium and have never seen them live before so I'm definitly going. Im not expecting any more albums or anything yet, but at least they are playing a few dates.

 

[Evil Dead]

I thought Emperor died in a fiery bus crash after releasing Anthems.

I thought Emperor died in a fiery bus crash after releasing Anthems.

I thought they all turned into queens before releasing In The Nightside Eclipse, and then died in a bizarre gardening accident right afterwards...

Good.

well a big "BOLLOCKS" to that post.

I currently have an inexplicable craving for hash browns.

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

then go eat some hash browns, bollocks to you to, whatever that means, you fucking cunt.

 

[Hammer of Might]

fuck off you queer, I wasn't even talking to you.

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

I like anthems and prometheus.

 

[Arrakis]

i like everything emperor has produced. and if anyone has a problem with that, they should probobly find a better use for their time.

 

[Arrakis]

I think prometheus is amazing. it's less an Emperor album than any others. It's more an Ihsahn album. but the riffs and the way the music is constructed are pretty amazing as far as i'm concerned. maybe a preview of what this solo "Ihsahn" project will sound like?

 

[Hammer of Might]

Yeah I think Prometheus is pretty solid, as do a fair few people, so just cos you dont like it Erik it doesnt mean they shouldnt have released it because you think it's "shit".

I way prefer it to IX Equilibrium anyway.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I don't like anything after "In the Nightside Eclipse", except a single song every now and then.

 

[Hammer of Might]

yeah you dont like it fine, I don't see how you think that means they shouldn't have released it, as lots of people do in fact like it. Anyway, boring, never mind.

 

[Menhir]

Wank fest? What.

Dream Theater is a wank fest, Emperor has always been well written amazingly played music. You sir have an invalid opinion.
