So i downloaded Iced Earth's Horror Show...

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

... i'm not sure why you guys hate this album so much, i think its amazing. Matt barlow is a great singer, the music is good (some good riffs in there). and sure its cheesy/cliche to make a horror themed album, but Matt puts emotion into it, lyrically and vocally, so its an entire different thing...
I love this album, and i can't stop listening to it... so what are you smoking?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

have you actually listened any other iced earth album?

Horror Show is a complete nothing

listen to "Burnt Offerings" to see what was the real inspiration for Iced Earth

 

[PlatypusJesus]

BURNT OFFERINGS!!! YES!!!! I like Horror Show, but when compared to Burnt Offerings......:thumbsdown:

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

yes yes i have listened to a lot of their other stuff, and i'm not saying its any worse but everyone was making horror show sound like its crap, when i think its amazing

 

[PlatypusJesus]

It doesn't suck....it just can't hold a clit to Burnt Offerings. It is better than some of their others, such as Dark Saga.

 

[AjDeath]

Horror Show is soulless IMO, Dark Saga was/is one of IE's best IMO.

Whiskey goes good on Saturdays, BIATCHES!

 

[Chromatose]

Horror Show is soulless IMO, Dark Saga was/is one of IE's best IMO.

correct

 

[PlatypusJesus]

No, Dark Saga is their WORST....except for A Question of Heaven, which is their SECOND best song.

 

[Chromatose]

wrong



what's their best song?

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

burnt offerings
(if you disagree...your penis will belong to me...and I will burn it with glee....and you will not be able to pee)

Their best song is Stormrider. And fuck you and your stupid penis stealing schtick.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

'ride on, grab on, stormrider, stormrider'

...


yeah, you are a fag......you don't deserve the luxury of a penis, fagboy

 

[AjDeath]

Stromrider is easliy their best, actually I like that album a whole lot.

Also Travel In Stygian rules, as does all of the songs on Alive In Athens(the three disc version esp.)

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Dante's Inferno is of course their best song.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Indeed. Followed closely by Travel In Stygian, Burnt Offerings, and When the Night Falls.

Horror Show is just a really uninspired album with re-used riffs, stupid melodic and spoken passages, not enough lead work, and wretched lyrics. "Dracula," however, is a KILLER song.

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

Re-used riffs my ass. There is a lot of creative new riffing for IE on horror show. Thats the exact same thing as saying Nevermore reuses all their riffs, or Testament re-uses all their riffs.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

The accoustic breakdown on Phantom Opera Ghost kicks major ass

 

[NapalmForLunch]

It's a great album. Not everyone can be thier best since there can only be one best. It does not stop it from kicking ass..

 

[Poison God]

Dante's Inferno is of course their best song.

Exactly.

 

[Black Winter Day]

my personal favorite has always been an unnoticed one -- "mystical end" from NotS
