My Dying Bride - For Lies I Sire

honestly. fucking tiamat. i have never seen a a worse crash fucking landing. never a band with a worse case of going from the totally original and absolutely sublime (everything leading up to "a deeper kind of slumber") to ABSOLUTE and COMPLETE garbage that barely even qualifies as a communication of any sort of idea (except BLEAARGH WE ARE FUCKING IDIOTS AND POSERS WE HAVE PRO TOOLS LE TIME TO MAKE A RECORD IN OUR LIVING ROOM BECAUSE WE'RE LAZY AND HAVE FAMILIES NOW AND LET'S TRY TO MAKE IT SOUNDS LIKE WILDHONEY EXCEPT I HAVEN'T HAD IT IN ME FOR LITERALLY 15 YEARS TO WRITE THAT SORT OF THING) (that last fucking abomination of an album)
 
hmm yes. i don't think i've ever said "hey guys new tiamat sucks by the way" on this forum before.



i'm still fucking SCARRED from what happened in 1999 though. it hurts my very fucking soul
 
there's a bonus live track on one album that starts out with him introducing them "we are from englunnnd...we arr....myy dyingg braiaiaiaiaide" and his voice cracks horribly and i shit myself laughing, that's the only mdb i've listened to in the last 4 years
 
much better than deathless kings after a listen. violins are back. it a typical decent mdb release

sidenote: what is with these weird jewel cases that make it hard to get the booklet? gar.
 
You just need to use the right technique to get it out. Push one side of the booklet towards the middle. You're not supposed to pull it out upwards.
 
those new rounded jewel cases are super shitty and extremely ugly in a "hey guys welcome to 2007" way

the old ones are ugly but at least somewhat timeless in their ugliness
