Mael Mordha - Mael Mordha

[JayKeeley]

Wow, maybe he was having a rough day.

I'll say this:

Mael Mordha LIVE >>>> on CD

 

[General Zod]

Wow, maybe he was having a rough day.

I gave this a few extra spins, because I have a lot of respect for Dark One's opinion. However, I can't say this disc does anything for me. They strike me as a 5th rate Primordial. Perhaps if I had been blown away by them live, as many of you were, I'd carry over some of that enthusiasm to the CD.

What else would you fellows recommend from these guys? I just cant seem to get into the new one at all.

Wow, I have to admit, I'm very surprised by this. If anything I've ever recommended would've been something I saw as a no-brainer "General Zod can't miss this" release, this would've been it.

I've even spun it again recently and it hit me every bit at hard as it did the first few times. I think it's pretty outstanding.

Thanks for giving it an extra shot though, it's a shame it hasn't sunk in, in a good way.

From what I've seen and heard, I'll say it more like:

Mael Mordha LIVE > Mael Mordha on CD

I'm absolutely buying the new one as soon as it's available.

I can see why. But for some reason, I hear Mael Mordha and start drawing Primordial comparisons, which of course aren't going to be favorable to MM. Part of the reason this release doesn't work for me is the lyrics. This style draws the lyrics front and center, and for my money, their kind of weak.

Thanks for giving it an extra shot though, it's a shame it hasn't sunk in, in a good way.

No problem. I'm sure I'll queue it up again, at some point. And perhaps it will find favor with me then. Thanks for the recommendation.

Music reviews for the most part are worthless. I don't need some pimply faced peon who isn't man enough to be hand fed a sloppy joe to tell me what music is of high standard. My own two ears are the ultimate authority.

SSMT doesn't update very often anymore but when he did it was the only review site I ever looked at regularly. I don't always agree with Chedsey's opinions, but his reviews are often quite humorous and well written.

 

[J.]

i believe he's more into punk these days like Nomeansno.

 

[Dark One]

I've respected him in the past, and he's obviously entitled to his opinion, but yeah, that review was pretty much crap.

I'm not saying he was guilty of this, but in general, a reviewer simply *has* to put aside the subjectivity of what styles they're digging these days for what's in front of them to review. In listening to the latest Mael Mordha, regardless of having seen their live show or enjoying the style of music they play, the musicianship, emotion and production are all at the very least above average. I'd recommend it to anyone who's a fan of the "Primordialish" style, whether I'm personally into it or not (and of course I *am*).

[Krigloch the Furious]

I'll be ordering this sometime this week. along with the new manowar. woo!

 

[JayKeeley]

Frank, the new Manowar suuuuucks! Unless of course you're a fan boy and you own everything before it.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

alrighty then. looks like I wont be buying it.

 

[JayKeeley]

I presume you've got Hail to England?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

yeah, thats all I have.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

hows the newest Mael Mordha?

 

[Reign in Acai]

Album of the year, 2 sloppy joes way up.

Stand down, Ireland Reigns!

 

[Dark One]

Stand down, Ireland Reigns!

And they Reign in This Godless Commune of Sodom!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Bump.
God I love Gaeltacht Mael Mordha. Maybe more than Cluain Tarbh? Is that possible?
