So To The Nameless Dead has leaked

[JayKeeley]

the production on this is very lush and thick, very warm compared to TGW which was a little tinny in comparison.

nice ninja edit

I'M looking forward to ordering this, just waiting on my fucking paycheck.

edit: and it's a "blind buy" because for once I have a few pennies in my pocket. So those who shit on the try before you buy as being "cheap people who won't buy anything" can cram it. If you have very little money, its more fun to buy shit you already know you like.

Listened to it once....opinion pending.

There's no audible difference between MP3s ripped at 192Kbps (or higher) and CDs. If you think you can tell the difference, you're kidding yourself.

First of all this is far from the point on which i commented, which has to do with the "how funny are the people blind buy" thing, because of course they are not funny just because someone else learned to listen to music first on his computer and then go buy it. Second, there is a HUGE difference in every aspect between listening to a cd (or vinyl, mind you) from a super stereo system and listening to mp3s (of any quality) from a pc.

Yes. Aesthetic differences.

You don't have to listen to MP3s on your PC. You can listen to MP3s burned to a CD, through a super stereo. And the point I was making is, very few folks would be able to tell the difference between well ripped MP3s burned to CD and the original CD, when both are played through a "super stereo".

you can turn your PC into a super stereo and save some surface space. Just buy a decent sound card (or a really good one). Simple. Costs less too.

if you're a real wanker, rip to a compressionless format and buy a 500GB harddrive (they're not that expensive atm). You'll still save.

and don't gimme that analog blahblah bullshit. CDs are digital, its read by a fucking laser.

out of interest, who would you list as good singers, technically

I agree that he's not a technical marvel, but that counts for zero and nothing in music anyway so who gives a fuck. He's a great vocalist and has a great voice, he is a master at conveying emotion which is to one hundred percent what music is all about. Also, he's not technically crap, just not a mega-super schooled singer-type.

This is Argument #1 from people who don't download...

Downloading and buying, is not an either or proposition. I download everything before I buy it. And I bet I buy more CDs than most (between 60 - 100 a year).

Zod

Wrong, I download too, but only 1 or 2 songs, generally a second or 3rd track and a 7th or 8th track to see if the band is constant on their album, then I buy. My 1st argument when it comes to downloading is that when I already know the entire album before I buy it, it loses all its magic, and why would I bother spending money on it at this point?.

well the answer was in the post. Tim Owens is someone with a great technique, but no emotion. Nemtheanga has less techniques, but a lot more emotions.

 

[Tranquillian]

Guys. I need a download link. PM me if necessary.
Cheers!

Edit: No need, Google is indeed my friend.

I don't buy CDs for magic, I buy them for the music. To me, it's a simple matter of paying for what I like. I'll often listen to something two or three times before I decide if I want to own it (which I generally define as, will I continue to listen to it?). I buy CDs because I want to support the band, I want the artwork, I want the lyrics and because I have a collector's mentality. For me, the magic is in the music, not in having a physical disc.
