the ENSLAVED thread mk II

I like Enslaved, but I have to admit, black metal vocals are at the bottom of the vox rankings for me. I liked the occasional growling on BtL much better.

I'm going to duct tape you to a chair and then put headphones on you. You will be subjected to 40 hours straight of Grutle Kjellson, Malefic, Wrest, Ghaal, John Gossard and the vocalist from Hekel. Then, only then, will you know the true nature of the force.

Please, could someone give the e mail or phone numbers of these guys to Enslaved :

Steven Wilson
Jens Bogren
Fredrik Nordstrom
David Bottrill
Rick Rubin
Daniel Bergstrand
Andy Sneap
Neil Kernon
Devin Townsend
Peter Tatgren

Don't thank me.

P.S : The low-fi tr00 black metal production values is null FYI.

lol are you retarded?

have you heard the shit production work done by Devon Townsend on As the palaces burn? Most Enslaved albums own this one production wise..
 
I've recently been going through their discography again and am falling in love with them all over again :D

My favourite album order would probably look like this:

Monumension
Below The Lights
ISA
Eld/Ruun
Mardraum
Blodhemn
Frost

Not including their splits etc.. And i haven't had Vikingligr Veldi long enough to really be able to make what i consider to be an entirely fair judgement (had it for like, 2/3 months and not been listening to Enslaved very often atm).
 
i will not let this thread fall off in the distance....

i'm still stuck on ruun. i know i havent given the other albums a chance to shien as much as i should, but their time will come...
 
It's official -

Enslaved is THE MOST overrated metal band in existence.

No, seriously though, am I the only one who finds them to be quite overrated? I've got Ruun and Isa, and they're decent, but I don't consider them anywhere NEAR as good as most of you.

Am I missing something? Do I need to get other albums of theirs? Which ones should I get?

I don't want to give up on Enslaved, because I feel like they have a lot of potential to be good, but honestly...I'm not hearing it.

what a broad post. going from calling out enslaved as the most overrated band, to saying that there's hope for them...

Try listening, to, you know, their classic works (Yggdrasill, Hordanes Land, Vikingligr Veldi and Frost). Judging them on the basis of RUUN and Isa is akin to writing off Slayer having heard Christ Illusion and Diabolus in Musica, but not Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood or South of Heaven.
