MotW Board. I need some opinions on this album I just bought

[RabidWarfare]

Hi
I just purcased these albums:

Office of Strategic Influence LE
My Dying Bride 34.788%...Complete
Symphony X - Divine Wings

Total: $35.00 including shipping

The only one I bought blind was MDB. The rest I'm quite familiar with. But then I went on Amazon and looked at the reviews for 37.788%. And they were mixed to say the least. So then can someone give me some input. Is it really that bad? Or is it a good kind of experimental album that close minded people wouldn't usually adapt to?

considering i am not a doom/death fan i found that MDB album to be really cool! its been a while since i listened to it. but i always give mad props to bands who attempt something new with their music and that album was a nice departure from their other stuff. i also liked some of the stuff on the angel and the dark river but its been awhile since i have heard either of those two albums.

OSI = awesome
Symphony X i have never liked that much. too wanky for my wankerific tastes in music.

I really really like it. The texturing work is fantastic. The songwriting and lyrics aren't really as strong a point on this album as the mood and texturing, which are masterful.

It's easily my favourite MDB album The reason I believe it got so much shit thrown at it was because it was very different from all previous albums, and many doom fans didn't apppreciate the newish direction

maybe rabid warfare is a member of MDB and is secretly trying to get people to talk shit on 34.788% !

Well I was just wondering. Thanks for your opinions. The reason I can't "think for myself" on this one is because I haven't received the album yet (just bought them online today). I tried listening to sound clips but that hardly gave me the right to pass judgement.

avi got told.

HAHA not even close. I seriously bought this album because I've heard some good things from others. I rarely ever buy music without hearing it first. But this was one exception. It was only 10$ from theendrecords.com so I thought I'd take the chance.

Sorry avi. I should've stated my situation better. I didn't mean to get cocky.
