I dont even know where to begin. Evergrey has always been a band that has always had some of the most heavy dark prog out their, but for me (and for a lot more other people than i thought, ive discovered recently) think that their acoustic tracks are unbelivable. they have long been a band to not only make gorgeous acoustic ballads, but also remake some of thier heavier tracks into acoustic godliness. when evergrey had acoustic bonus tracks on both Rec day and TIC, the community was craving an entire acoustic album. So much in fact that the question got brought up in the interview "in bed with Evergrey" which is on their DVD "a night to remember" about 47 mins into the interview i belive.
here is the excerpt:
"*****the question : a major attraction for the band for a lot of your fans is mix of acoustic and heavy.especially some people really dig the acoustic numbers you did. you had the trilogy of the damned, you got two or three acoustic numbers on the inner circle and the bonus version of the inner circle comes with the acoustic gigs you did in France. have you ever thought about maybe, with a lot of your songs quite lending themselves if you like (ya reporter's British) to an acoustic reinterpretation. have you ever thought about doing it the same way threshold did, maybe doing an entire acoustic album at some stage?
Henrick: makes joke about threshold
Tom: we actually thought about that but then we saw that threshold did the same thing and at that time we were really up in that idea. I wouldn't say threshold sort of influenced us to...
Henrick: they stole our idea!
Tom: pretty much, fucking English bastards.
*everyone laughs*
Tom: but at the same time, I actually have not heard that album. Ive never been a threshold fan either, so I dont know how good they did it. but at the same time we were at this DVD recording thing, it was sort of pushing our minds to the fullest, so we pushed that aside for a bit. we dont know, we might do it, but I think everyone is set to do another studio album (MMA).*****"
So Monday morning apocalypse came out, kind of divided fans, yadda yadda I was still waiting with hope for that acoustic album! and yet another acoustic "bonus track" Closure which was, for me, easily the best track on the album. but more time went on, they annouced Torn, then it came out, and it was good but no real acoustic songs and so i basically gave up.
More recently i was on the Torn reveiw thread and stated that the vocals were completly inferior to previous records to to the increased vocal layering and lack of signature evergrey Englund unleashing. ( using his vocal power to tingle your spine.) but someone (sacrament death) agreed that they had seen an acoutic performance by them on youtube and that it was amazing. and later yet another member stated that an acoustic album would be incredible. old feeling stiring up inside, i headed over to youtube and found what many of you probably already knew about. ACOUSTIC REMAKES OF TORN AND SOAKED. i was blown away, and even more so after i'd heard them! i easily like these remakes better than the entire Torn album, mostly because my favorite vocalist of all time issues the PWN!!!11!! so here it is. im starting a thread for people who, like me, want this album more than anything else in the world! ( or even just a bit
)
They pretty much have enough material now to just make a collection of one they've already done! but thats not good enough. anyway
@ the old-school evergrey fans (like me) : THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR THIS ALBUM. SEE ATTACHED. and if you didn't like Torn, then maybe this will put the album in a different light for you, it sure did for me.
@ newbie evergrey fans: i know you probably want another studio release, but trust me when i say, this acoustic album would shake the foundation of the world.
my next post will include all of the already existent acoustic tracks in the evergrey discography
watch these and enjoy.notworthy
