I'm new to Novembers Doom

I feel completely opposite. I didn't think "Deliverace" was sterile at all, I get quite a charge out of that album when I hear it, particularly the title track. "Ghost Reveries" has grown on me, but I prefer the sound of those songs live, as opposed to their studio versions.

As for Death, I like "Spiritual Healing" the most out of those first three albums. I have respect for albums like "Leprosy" and "Scream Bloody Gore" because of their legacy, but especially now I just find some of it too primitive. I was always more of a fan of the technical stuff. I like the aggression and feel of "Leprosy" but eh, not a Rick Rozz fan if you get what I'm saying.

Deliverance i feel is very forced musically, (By the pain i see in others, Wreath...) It just seems like they put that one out because it was the Opeth thing to do, or maybe that damnation wouldnt sell and it was their back up. Ghost revieries is Good, but the snare sound is nasty. Creativley though i thought it was excellent. Sorry i wont bring my Opeth fanboyness discussions here anymore!:erk:

I think their new one is great, it's much more interesting than the overly sterile and repetitive 'deliverance' anyway. The first two songs are two of their best ever imo.

I don't know,it just doesn't do much to me honestly,although i agree the first two songs are nice,and live played it sounds even better,but overall..i guess i get stuck with their older albums somehow,I love damnation..musical as well as their lyrics..oh well,maybe it's a womens thing?

edit: About Death! wasn't their a guy from Cynic who played in Death? Don't know which album tho..

Again yknow, a debate like this can go on and on because in truth, it boils down to how the music hits the individual listener. You feel it sounds forced and I believe you mean it, but for me I think that album was really good and I don't get that vibe at all. I know they were stressed in the writing and making of that album, maybe that knowledge sometimes affects the listener's judgement (not saying yours, necessarily). Almost every song on that album has guitar parts, or bass parts, or vocal parts, etc., that instantly grabbed me and stuck in my head for days. "...Reveries" hasn't had that same effect on me, though like I said it's grown on me. "Still Life" I've heard many times and yet I couldn't sing a riff to you from that cd if my life depended on it right now. But that's just how their music has touched or appealed to me. I don't expect everyone to agree ;)
 
You are full of insightful words there larry. Still Life happened to grab me more than the others (after time, i hated it at first, when i first heard BWP) Because i dont listen to riffs as such ( although when an awesome one appears i do love it, same for most bands) I listen to the song as a whole and how each part made the next one better, how textured it is, and how much is going on at the time. This is one of the many reasons i like the bands i do.
 
Sorry,I go totally off topic here guys..but since I'm pretty much new here..I don't know else where I can put my post..so..the thing is...Is there also a "now playing" thread or something at this forum..you know were ppl can put an album or song their listening too atm,or discuss it etc....I dunno..maybe you guys don't want that here??

Y'know personally I'm not against a thread like that. We've just never bothered to start one. I don't know how Paul or the other guys feel about it.

I always found them kinda...pointless.

To Novembers Doom band members and whoever else cares: I thank the Musical God's for PHD, this album is absolutely superb and sublime. Certainly, one of the best records in this genre I have ever heard.(and I'm 50 yrs old) Also, this could be the soundtrack for my life, as I can completely relate to music, lyrics and concept. Thanks Novembers Doom for releasing a beautiful piece of art. Now, I will begin to purchase the rest of the catalogue. Peace.
 
Ιt's really awesome that people of all ages love TPHD! But it's not a surprise. I think that everyone could like this album. Even those who don't listen to metal at all can find something interesting in it.:)
