OCTOBER TIDE POLL:RAIN WITHOUT END vs GREY DAWN

[doom_death]

I think Hensen had awesome 'feeling' in his vocals...they sounded so desperate...and so Jonas vocals did too,but + that 'technical ability' I found for myself a winner...but,do not get me wrong, for me it is 51% Grey Dawn,and 49% Rain Without End...it is very hard to choose,but RWE don't have that melodies like Grey Dawn...

 

[m0rtis]

ofcourse Rain Without End.

 

[stefan86]

Well. Grey Dawn is easier to digest and catchier, but RWE has more sheer feeling in the melodies. Whatever, it's all up to personal preference

 

[KittyKatatonia]

I love them both, but I think Grey Dawn is a little better overall.

 

[Aprilhäxan]

Ha. I should vote for Grey Dawn just because it loses. But I voted for Rain Without End. I love them both, but every song on RWE is my fave.

 

[Jinn]

I just did and my vote went to Grey Dawn.

obviously you didn't take enough time

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Obviously he has an opinion.

 

[doom_death]

I think he didn't have to take any more time to write his opinion...i agree with that one

 

[Wanderer]

Everybody know that true art is unpopular.That is why "Grey Dawn" is crushed beneath "Rain Without End"

 

[MadTinus]

People vote RWE because it's more obscure, rare and kvlt, so it's 'cooler' to say you like that one better.

Now that's not entirely true and I don't say it goes for everybody, but there's no doubt a sense of truth to it. I listened to both album in a row, chronoligically and Grey Dawn just sounded better and more powerful after RWE. But hey, the fact that I couldn't make my mind up right away, means the difference is minimal.

You are right may be and may be one more reason is that Jonas sings on RWE, if it was A Canorous Quintet forum, for example, we could see something different. The difference is minimal indeed but for some reason I think RWE sounds more sincere. Only for me, it's not the point.I guess everyone judges these albums from his own life experience.
