i don't get arcturus

[trickae]

I've heard far too much praise about this band,
whats all they hype over? I had to return the album after 2 listens to it - i can't stand it.

your brain doesn't have the capacity to appreciate it.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

which album?

theyre brilliant.

 

[trickae]

i got their latest one :
sideshow symphonies

I didn't like the overall sound to them - but i heard their earlier efforts are more notable.

I only bought it cause the sales kid told me that it was better than Ghost reveries by opeth and thats one of the few albums i waited for this year.

I shat my self listening to GR, i lost my entire weeks meals over Sideshow symph, I dunno just not my thing - just like i can't stand queensryche or testament and those are crowd favorites. I just wanted song suggestions or some of the reasons you guys like Arcturus so much.

 

[Nebulous]

The Sham Mirrors was absolutely awsome. Every thing i've heard (on Radio) from Sideshow Symphoneis hasn't made me go get that album. Try listening to TSM or any previous work, before buying just incase.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

i like arcturs because, well...i dont know why really. they just encompass everything i want in 'that' kind of metal. experimental, very, very melodic, just plain weird. shipwrecked frontier pioneer is song of the year for me...if you dont like it, thats cool. some bands arent for everyone.

 

[Lyle]

the first half of la masquerade infernale is pretty tite, even though it's pretty much a kind of devil doll and il balletto di bronzo glom. everything else they've done sux tho

Asperia hiems symphonia was excellent. La Masquerade infernal was good, sham mirrors, ummmmmmm.

And another thing, I don't think it's fair to say that someone's mind doesn't have the potential to appreciate them, specially when you're calling yourself Varg Vikernes, the biggest motherfucking faggot alive. (although he should be dead).

And another thing, Avant garde isn't something to be proud of. Yes, Arcturus has a rap song on one of their cds.Anyway, i shouldn't be wasting my time on this shitty, goddamned site and all the dick sucks involved with it. "aaarrgh, i'm so evil, i'm so fucking hardcore, I appreciate black metal above all others!" Here's an idea, why not create your own shitty fucking music. Get out of your parent's basement, get off your fat asses and prove yourselves worthy of even aknowledging good music. Otherwise shut the fuck up and get the fuck out. I'll leave you now to your debates about who's true and who isn't. And in the end, I promise you, you'll all be rather disappointed at the outcome. To those who do play instruments, i support you. And as a skilled percussionist, you can kiss my ass. And another thing, i want to eat your unborn babies. Thank you and remember to fuck yourselves.

 

[Centeotl]

It's okay, Arcturus isn't anything anymore. Without Samoth, there is nothing.

 

[Susperia]

You know you can just edit a post over and over again..... instead of creating many posts in a row.

 

[no country for old wainds]

By the looks of it you get Arcturus just perfectly - overblown horseshit.

I love when we agree.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i hate it

 

[skeptik]

Fullmoon sucks.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

The Sham Mirrors is a pretty perfect album in my mind. Can't really get into their other stuff, including the new one. Check out The Sham Mirrors

Asperia hiems symphonia was excellent. La Masquerade infernal was good...

Agreed.

I debated replying to this with a laundry list of your misconceptions and inconsistencies, but I feel like all I need to say is shut up and go jack off to your poster of Joey Jordison hanging over your bed.

 

[Mormagil]

isn't he the one who made the thread whining about how untrue usbm is

and arcturus isn't very good

 

[skeptik]

The only problem with these fags that storm off the boards in a fury is that they never fucking stay gone.

You're really not doing the whole "too elite for message boards" thing very well, you know
