maudlin & In the Woods

[LoboUivante]

am I the only one noticing that maudlin incorporate some elements (ok they incorporate a LOT of stuff in their music) from In the Woods? Utter total and absolute maniac orginial music steaming from every second?? I'm going berserk listening to Yearning The Seeds Of A New Dimension, man i need more bands like this...

...yes Opeth is overrated (IMHO), Dark Tranquillity is excelent...maybe Esoteric?

I dunno if I'd say motW "incorporates a lot of stuff from In The Woods in their music". That kind of clashes with your statement that "original music steam from every second", too.

IMHO music is original as long as you draw your own path, i guess that they have to have some fondations, influences... i think that In the Woods's Heart of the Ages is the album that reminds me most of maudlin... yet its completely different.

When i said they incorporate a lot of stuff i meant, piano, flute, bells, viola...

ItW's Omnio has a vibe about it that reminds me of motW indeedy.

"yes Opeth is overrated (IMHO)"

I humbly disagree. For every "Opeth rules" there is an "Opeth is so boring, just a bunch of stupid riffs thrown together without intelligence", the latter which, indicates a failure to appreciate the Opeth aesthetic.. imho.

i like what i heard from opeth. but there are plenty of bands that are a lot better. motw for one.

right

Opeth has some great musics, but for some reason Blackwater Park fails to remain me awake, in Morningrise some musics just see a bunch of riffs put together then acoustics... good band without a doubt, not my thing
