Roundtable: ANATHEMA - Eternity

[JayKeeley]

In terms of anything post-Silent Enigma, why have I always reached for Alternative 4 and ignored this completely?? This really clicked with me today -- the guitar leads are exceptional.

Love it, hate it, indifferent?

Discuss.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I could never get into it.

 

[Guthrum]

It never really did anything for me.

 

[Demilich]

I never liked a single thing I heard from this band. Someone help me out!

 

[Sadguru]

Love it.

 

[Sadguru]

Listened to Alternative-4 yet?

 

[Doom]

This and Judgement are my favourite post-Silent Enigma. Both are excellent. I'm the opposite though, it's Alternative 4 which never really clicked with me.

But early Anathema wins any day [/obvious]

Someone upload "They Die" for this man! (I would but don't have it on my computer at the moment)

 

[J.]

yeah, it sucked

 

[Papa Josh]

Like em all.

 

[Demonspell]

This one doesn't get as much play as the next two, I've always considered it a transitional album. It kind of reminds me of Discouraged Ones in that it paved the way for a successful reinvention and is more rough around the edges than subsequent albums, but isn't nearly as focused as that album. But it does contain some great songs like Far Away, Eternity (all three), and Suicide Veil.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Best Album Ever. (Behind Alternative 4 that is)

Best Album Ever. (Behind Alternative 4 that is)

gay AND lying!

 

[Reign in Acai]

Seriously I am not. This album is God. I'm going to go listen to it in the car to reiterate that fact to myself.

 

[Guthrum]

I'll have to give this another try, it's been years since I've heard it. But Alternative 4 is my all time favorite album.

 

[Doom]

I'm shocked at all the love for Alternative 4.

SHOCKED

 

[The_Isle]

I love this to bits. It does have its weak moments, but track 2 is worth it alone.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Judgement is the only thing I own from Anathema, and I never liked it much. I just may check out the earlier stuff though.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I actually really like this! It gives me a lump in my throat...

 

[M.Lehto]

Along with A4 and Judgement, amazing album.
