In hindsight, is Twlight better than WOOOS?

[Maggot9]

I know a lot of people (me included) thought that TOTTG didn't hold a candle to With Oden...

Fast forward through the months post-Twilight's release, and I find it's one of the AA albums I continually listen to, while WOOOS barely gets any.

I'd say now, in retrospect, that Twilight is in fact a better overall album.

What say you? Has your opinion changed at all since it's release?

 

[amon666]

i remember you telling me that you were "disappointed" from the album

on a side note, still once sent my fav album!

 

[Celtik Militia]

Once Sent From the Golden Hall, or Versus the World.
The other full length AA albums have nothing to do in a "which is the better album" thread ^^

I didn't listen enough the WOOOS or TOTTG enough to decide which is better. Honestly, I prefer their older material although I stay a great fan of AA.

Once Sent From the Golden Hall, or Versus the World.

Same here

 

[waif]

Obviously Once Sent is their best, with Versus The World second. The question is about Twilight and With Oden.
With Oden is better; I can't really point to why, but I get this sorta lame feeling from Twilight, like this stuff has become too clean and polished. I dunno. Doesn't really prevent me from loving it, but it's lingering in the back of my mind.

Songwise, With Oden has Under the Northern Star, Runes to My Memory, Cry of the Blackbirds, Gods of War Arise, With Oden on Our Side, and of course ASATOR.
Twilight has Guardians of Asgard, Where Is Your God?, Varyaags of Miklagard, and No Fear For The Setting Sun.
These are just the songs I though were fantastic. There aren't really any bad songs on either album.

 

[heavy metal]

with oden on our side is a better overall album than twilight of the thundergod. i think it will take some beeting.

 

[GuitarRage99]

I have both albums in my car, and I must say I jam WOOOS far more than TOTG, only because I LOVE EVERY song on WOOOS, where as I like all the songs on Twilight. Theres just a few songs that don't really hit me that great.

 

[Lopt]

OK if I have to choose between TOTTG and WOOOS then it is WOOOS.
Every single song is just absolutely great.
On TOTTG the songs are overall OK with a few great hits (for me Varyags..., Live for the Kill, The Hero, Tattered.. Embrace... and Twilight...)

 

[Shadow77]

I honestly cant choose on this one both have songs I like for different reasons so i am gunna go with equal for me.

 

[Trashhead]

WOOOS packs a bit more punch, but I like some of the song subjects of TotTG more (Especially The Hero and Varyargs)

 

[BeardedPanther]

WOOOS packs a bit more punch, but I like some of the song subjects of TotTG more (Especially The Hero and Varyargs)

Wow, I was just about to say I preferred the lyrical themes of Twilight to those of WOOOS, and I was going to mention those two songs as well.

I love The Hero, a song about a terrible man who in his last act dies to protect the defenseless and wont event acknowledge hes done a good deed.

And Varyags, hell I just love me some Varangian Guard.

Well done.

 

[Celtik Militia]

I too like the lyrical theme for both of these songs.
The Hero is pretty emotional, I like it when AA manage to convey the emotional side.

 

[bathory...]

Guardians of Asguard is my favourite song on either album, but overall I like WOOOS. Neither is bad though and WOoOS is second only to vs. IMO. Once Sent is very good, but not quite as good as WOoOS or vs.

 

[waif]

Foolishness. A band's debut is always their best.





But actually in this case it is.

 

[ShadowCreator]

That is your opinion sir

Personally with Amon Amarth my favorite changes quite often. I went through a phase where I thought Once Sent From The Golden Hall was the best.

Currently, and as it has been for quite a while Twlight.. is my favorite with Fate Of Norns being close. Lyrically With Oden On Our Side kills though.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Foolishness. A band's debut is always their best.

wot


Also I don't think AA will ever top Versus The World. That CD is the reason why I'm here. With Oden was miiighty good though.

 

[Trashhead]

your parents fucked because VtW was playing? Awesome, that's some prime R&P right there!

 

[Die In A Fire]

why do you have to decide which one is better? can't really see the point in that.. Both are excellent records, in fact all AA records are.

 

[DamageInc.]

WOOOS has Asator... so no other Record beats it

no ok... serious Oden is better no doubt! but Twilight is still a good one

 

[AeonicSlumber]

lol

I'm on this board/am a fan of AA be cause of that album, but thanks for the horrible imagery.
