New Moonspell

[The Scourge]

Well, now that the new Moonspell is officially out, I was just wondering what you guys thought of it. I personally feel it is their best effort since Irreligious. At the very least Fernando does an amazing job with his voice, and judging by the style of the songs, it almost sounds like Ares is back in the band, even though I know it is Niclas Etelevuori from Amorphis.

well, dont have the album yet, have 70% on mp3 and its great but to much like darkness and hope or not? perhaps I havent listened too much , I liked Sin/Pecado a lot :hotjump: , my fav maybe with Wolfheart :Spin: , Butterfly was a dissapoint for me so am getting slowly into the last two ones



and one of my biggest metal errors: was not going to the sin/pecado tour here in '98

I dont like it, dunno why, it just doesnt get me, its so boring to me... I really liked Darkness and Hope but the new one... no...

I love the new album. 'Darkness and Hope' was great, but I think this may even go above that one. 'The Antidote' also has on of the best Moonspell tracks yet with 'In and Above Men'. An amazing track.... For me it's up there with 'Opium'.

So yeah, Moonspell are still delivering the goods in my opinion. They're very mature sounding these days, although still very dark. Slick gothic metal. The digipak is pretty good too.

They've made a great comeback with the last two albums after 'The Butterfly Effect', their only weak(er) album.

I think I'm the only one who really cant get along with the new album, everyone is praising it and loving it but to me its as I said just boring... hm... just another taste I guess...

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

So, I'm like the only person alive who thinks Butterfly Effect is their best album? Damn.

 

[Usherette]

mediocre album, apart the tribal track #2, which is great

 

[Dora]

What is the title again??

 

[requiem]

'The Antidote'

 

[Dora]

Thanks for the hint, its a really great album, I like it!!

 

[Mariner]

I dont like it, dunno why, it just doesnt get me, its so boring to me... I really liked Darkness and Hope but the new one... no...

are you sane? the new one is boring and darkness and hope is good?

i think its ok. but hey we arent really kickin on an ok album eh... its deffo better then d&h, but theyll never beat sin if they go onwards like this

 

[Dora]

FuCK!! This album is GREAT!! What the hell happens that everybody makes good music this year?? So i need to buy this one as well.. damn. I'm skint.


AS WE ETERNALLY SLEEP ON IT !!!!!! :hotjump::hotjump::hotjump:

 

[DragonLady1]

dunno, I also didnt like Sin, it was also boring to me... maybe I'm not so much into Moonspell anymore... but thats always a matter of taste, some prefer this, others that album, easy

 

[Achernar]

Well, I'm not really totally into Moonspell and watching them live for about 16 times doesn't help much (they always play with some other bands I like...), some good songs though...you should check out their new video cuz it has a nice thing...it has a TRUE portuguese ambience. And that's nice.

 

[Mariner]

ah its a band to be proud of archernar.

and sin is among me fave albums. just because its all quite new and it was really refrshing as well. and its the album that they wanted to do. ive the feeling that theyre doing it for selling records these days.

 

[DragonLady1]

I really love the song "Fullmoon Madness", its my favorite from Moonspell!

 

[Achernar]

BTW...Opium's video had a portuguese ambience too...not as good as this new one though...

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

i like 'a taste of eternity' on 'irreligious'.

 

[the_good_son141]

So, I'm like the only person alive who thinks Butterfly Effect is their best album? Damn.

Nooo,im still alive!
