mind blowing band - into_eternity

I just put in the new album and I'm sad to say a band I once thoroughly enjoyed is pretty lame now. Dead or Dreaming is still an awesome album, but I think the problem for me with this band is that their shtick just got old. Stu is starting to sound obnoxiously cheesy now, and even though he always sort of did, it was tolerable at first. Now they feel like one of those bands that plays fast and tricky just because they can, and the vocals are going way too far over the top now. Meh, better bands exist.

Well, I felt the same, and I still agree on the cheesiness, but they are meant to be like that at lest I think so anyways. If you take them too serious then it's not as enjoyable. Better bands do exist, and IE are a band whom I lvowe but get bored of fast so moderate listening is the best option when it comes to them.

I'm thoroughly disappointed with the new one. It feels very uninspired and just isn't as cohesive as their previous releases. Stu has definitely reached his pinnacle of obnoxiousness here. The mixing gets me as well. Coming off A Scattering Of Ashes, how could they let this one sound so much shittier?

Well, Tim does a lot of the vocals too, and contributes his fair share to the cheesiness. I love the concept of the new album, although I don't think they delivered as much as they could with it. I expected it to be a lot more powerful, and after my first listen I was really unimpressed. After a few more chances however, the songs grew on me and I really find it to be a solid album, try it out I had the EXACT same reaction to it as the both of you. In my opinion though I really like this album a lot, however, that being said, it was still a bit of a let down.
