I was mocking. However, I don't get nearly as much out of it as Erik does. And I'm not as good at it.

Arcturus is crappy imo, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy Aspera Hiems Symfonia.

Damn straight you aren't

wow i didn;t think the thread would carry out so long
sham mirrors it is then. I think i can safely say that sidesho symphonies was overhyped. I was let down - i liked some parts here and there but alot of it didn't do it for me.

thanx again

What do you mean 'Sham Mirrors it is then'? I thought the thread was about the fact you didn't 'get' Arcturus, not recommending an album by them... besides, La Masquerade Infenale is better than SM

i like all their albuns, la masquerade infernale and the sham mirrors being the best, sideshows the worst, i miss the electronics and not enought "piano" parts, too much guitar oriented.

Arcturus is one of the finest bands on the face of this planet, in my opinion. Their musicianship is excellent and overall, the music just REALLY gets to me - it hits all the right notes.

I love the sound these guys create. There's no band really that sounds like them.


Oh, and if you listened to Sideshow Symphonies and can HONESTLY tell me that the song "Evacuation Code Deciphered" absolutely did NOTHING for you, then I'll be shocked. This song features possibly one of the bands FINEST moments - it is just THAT DAMN GOOD (Simen/female vocalist duet - it is just incredible, and the symphonic music is absolutely stunning.)


I have 4 Arcturus albums;

Aspera Hiems Symphonia (re-issue with bonus cd with COOL blue cover and their recent logo)
La Masquearade Infernale
The Sham Mirrors
&
Sideshow Symphonies


They are so consistent in creating fantastic melodies (much like Opeth are) that I honestly can't even say which album is their best one. They are ALL awesome - :hotjump: ESPECIALLY when cranked up on a HUGE stereo system!!!
