I've Heard These Evergrey Guys Before...

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

...on a sample CD. I don't remember the song.

Anyway, I've seen their stuff promoted with Devin Townsend's band and I was wondering if these guys were as good as it shows with some of the critical acclaim that they've been receiving...

Is it melodic? Majestic? Brutal? Cheesy?

Just wondering...thanks...

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

By the way, this is an excellent looking board.

 

[Nosferatu6]

...on a sample CD. I don't remember the song.

Its all of the above ; )

I don't think that Evergrey is very cheesy...really good subjects in the songs and no sign of Manowar-like things. Cheesy isn't bad though
They're at times heavy,pretty melodic and definitely emotional. You should just check out one of their albums.

I think Nosferatu6 is cheezy, doesn't mean Tom always is it though

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Which album would be worth checking out?

 

[ProgMetalFan]

All of them.

 

[Evelynne]

Which album would be worth checking out?

Just listen to your ears....

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Recreation Day is probably the best as a whole.

 

[Vermiis]

I'd say In Search Of Truth

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

How many CD's do they have?

Do I have to hunt down like 15 CD's like Voivod?

Or just grab a couple?

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

They have 4 cd's. Jebus just go to their homepage. www.evergrey.net

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

THE DARK DISCOVERY

SOLITUDE, DOMINANCE, TRAGEDY

IN SEARCH OF TRUTH

RECREATION DAY

Pretty cool...

Do they all rank a 10 rating?

 

[Anneke]

A 10.. As if



I would rather make it an 11..

 

[Demonspell]

I'd give ISOT and Recreation Day a 10, and a 9 for the first two...buy them all. I'd start with In Search Of Truth.

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Don't start with the first two?

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

A 10.. As if



I would rather make it an 11..

Ha haaaaaaaaa!!!:Spin:

 

[peza]

I would go for Recreation Day, and then for In Search..., or the other way around. The first two are very good, but have not such an excellent sound, beside the fact they are quite old. You're more likely to fall in love with the two latest ones, I presume. At least RD knocked me out

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

I still haven't gotten into In Search Of Truth. I think that Solitude,Dominance,Tragedy is far better. Perhaps even The Dark Discovery is...Trust And Betrayal and For Every Tear That Falls are just too emotional.

Although I think that you (Overlord Purple Rainbow) should just go to your local cd store and tell them that you want to listen to the cd's so you know which to buy if they don't have a listening booth.

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Yeah, that's a good idea...
