Sirenia

What I especially like about Sirenia, is that the female vocals aren't in that opera style (which I had a hard time getting used to some years ago ). I always prefer 'normal' singing

Just like me

I've listened to the Sirenia album several times.. and only the first 5 songs caught me.. the others are just average.

I would've even bought the album because of those 5 songs, because they're so damn good.

One must consider for what a short time Sirenia has existed when they recorded the album - they/Morten didn't have that much time for composing - maybe it would've been enough time for a simple tr00 black metal band, but I'm sure it takes a lot more time to fully compose and arrange a Sirenia song

I must say I was a little disappointed when I heard Sirenia. I had hoped that Morten would have come out with something new and exciting, but instead he seems to have chosen the same path as his work with Tristania.

Personally I would have liked something a little different, as Tristania are still producing decent music in my opinion. Sienia is good, but nothing special.

Tristania moved on a new path and I guess he didn't want to leave the path... so in Sirenia you find the old path of Tristania...

I disagree slightly with you there. Personally, I don't believe that Tristania have changed quite as much as many think they have. Of course, their sound has moved on a little bit, but personally I feel there are still many similarities between the new and the old Tristania.

As for Sirenia, as I said, I don't find the music to be anything more than average. Good, but not great. I think if Morton put his mind to it, he could come out with something really new, fresh and exciting, but he seems to have decided not to.

what does everyone think about Morten from Tristiana's new band Sirenia? i wish he didnt leave Tristania, but at least he found happiness in Sirenia. Morten has got a great talent... i absolutely love it...so many similarities, but in a unique form. i listen to the album regularly for the past few months now...i just want to hear what others think...

Sirenia.. Unfortunately, I haven't heard a lot of that band. I love Tristania though, and if Sirenia is anywhere near as good as Tristiania, then they surely rock! Any songs you'd suggest I check out?
