PRIMORDIAL - The Gathering Wilderness

[Ellestin]

If only for the opening 30 secs, "Storm Before Calm" is worth your bucks. But yeah, in the end it is less rewarding than their other stuff. Less of a gut-scraper, if that says anything?

 

[Erik]

The reason why A Journey's End is their best release is because it is the most consistent.

FIX'D

 

[Demilich]

A Journey's End is gonna be the last one I own, simply 'cause I can't find it on Ebay

I found the first page funny, because I got TGW at FYE for 13 bucks.

 

[Evil_Legend]

I dig the new album, but I think the vocals are a bit low in the mix.

THE COFFIN SHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NAD]

I totally don't listen to this album anymore.

I think it needs darker weather, but more importantly it just doesn't have that lasting appeal to it.

 

[Demilich]

I think it's gonna be one that i'll come back to every once in a while and love it, but not listen to it all the time, that kinda thing. Nothing wrong with that, it's a great album, but I think I'd listen to Spirit the Earth Aflame a bit more often.

 

[Hell Mike]

You're gay if you don't like this album. Even Manowar would say so.

As far as I'm concerned, Spirit the Earth Aflame is a superior album.

edit: actually, I like The Gathering Wilderness better.

 

[Demilich]

I think A.A.'s vocals have improved a bit from StEA to the present, but they were pretty fucking good even then. The more I listen to 'Spirit...', the less I like it, while The Gathering Wilderness seems to be operating the other way 'round. Only time and more listens will tell.

BUMP (for warm up to Heathen Crusade)

 

[NAD]

this album totally Enron'd for me.

 

[JayKeeley]

go back to it!!!

 

[NAD]

i do what i'm told.

edit: checked the case, it's not there!!! but it's in my "winter listening" CD wallet, so i guess giving it another go was in the works already.

 

[Demilich]

this one TOTALLY RULES!!!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Every time I put this on, I only want to hear "The Coffin Ships." The rest is sort of ho-hum for me.

 

[J.]

when i want Primordial, I go for Spirit or Journey.

 

[MFJ]

I've come to the conclusion that I just can't enjoy Primordial. Everyone has one or two bands that just refuse to click no matter what, and Primordial is certainly one of mine.

 

[Demilich]

The Coffin Ships is maybe the 3rd or 4th best song on the album. Maybe the most immediate, but nothing more. The two after it are at least as good as it. Especially "Cities Carved in Stone".
