listening to emperor at work appreciation thread

[avi]

I thought Emperor were kinda boring live, but it was expected. Borknagar was pretty cool, but I'm not super familiar with them. Witchery. dude. awesome.

i remember the melodies/chord progressions being pretty cool on anthems, and that's kind of what i dug.

Anthems makes my top 10 or 20 albums ever list. I think the production really works there.

Yeah, the mushiness of the production is something I've really grown to love...I think Anthems would suck if it was all clear and stuff. The squishy overpowering nature of it all gives it a kind of strange, mysterious beauty.

I think IX Equilibrium is a hugely underrated album

In the case of Emperor's older albums, one could very well make an argument for the production adding to the atmosphere of the whole affair.
As for IX... it's a good album. Closer to what Zyklon tried to pull of than much of the Emperor material out there IMO though. Difference being that it really really really worked on IX and created something worth listening to.

xoxoxo
-k-

p.s. I didn't like world ov worms much

the new Zyklon is pretty sweet IMO. them and Cadaver Inc. seem to be putting out good stuff in a similar vein.

 

[ChromeLife]

Basicly I love everything of theirs... I would say go for anything you can find ... But I love The Elogy of Icarus... thats a hell of a tune.

listening to emporer in a retirement home rules

I think much of what pissed me off about the 1st Zyklon was that Samoth could have done better. There was just this desire to have an album where something other than Emperor name recognition was the major point. Hopefully, they at least surpassed Myrkskog on the new one.
