So if Emperor would of gone off to make another album that sounded like Nightside, that would of made you happy??
That's what they did - they made an album that sounded just like In the Nightside Eclipse, but with everything that made it significant in the first place. I've already heard In the Nightside Eclipse, I don't need to hear it re-packaged for the masses. That was my objection to Anthems...in the first place, something you'd know if you'd actually bothered to follow the debate as it developed instead of just busting in with your irrelevant remarks.
No way, as an artist I know
Not only is this a textbook example of the classic appeal to authority fallacy, it's an appeal to an authority that is unverifiable and likely entirely non-existent.
Anthems was exatcly that, more diversity
Bullshit. Anthems... is much less diverse in almost every sense - riffing, harmonies, rhythms, orchestration etc. - only the addition of (poorly executed) pitched singing represents an increase in diversity of technique.
more complextity
On every level except that of mere technicality, it's a far LESS complex album than In the Nightside Eclipse, which is more structurally ambitious, tonally and harmonically sophisticated, and conceptually expansive.
