The final RC album recommendation list - what are you missing?

[JayKeeley]

Jay you have to reread our posts. At least Snow & I didn't write "no intention to check" but "no intention to get". Never mind

Yeah just ignore me then.

My point is still valid for anyone who isn't willing to listen to something before they dismiss it. Those people = cunts.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I guess I'm talking more about Snow2Fall, Ellestin, Rensei, and Thanaptosis123: "I've only heard 3 of them and have no intention to check out the rest" sort of thing. Just odd considering the amount of time spent on this forum discussing music.

Huh? Of the only 4 I don't own, I've already heard two and am planning on getting 1 of those. I just haven't gotten around to that Primordial album yet though I've heard one of theirs. And I did listen to that Hammers track that Nad posted, despite my dislike of trad metal.

I've learned by reading here whose tastes I like and what aspects of their tastes I like. Its lead me to a FUCKTON of good stuff.

It's trad metal? Anyway, I think it's the whole "Fine, I'll listen to it then *prepares to hate it*" sort of short sightedness....

....I think my point is pretty clear, ugh....should I write a friggin' thesis? Anyone else not getting the jist?

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

if I say I don't get it would you right said thesis?

 

[JayKeeley]

"write".

And no.

That was a joke.

 

[JayKeeley]

No it was serious because you didn't use a smilie. No smilie and the document becomes legally binding in a court of law.

Regarding Empyrium, I'd be surprised if you didn't like "Songs of Moors...". Their last two, yeah, I can tell you with ease to avoid them like the plague.

To be honest, the only album I heard was "Where At Night..." and didn't much care for it. I haven't given any others a chance b/c of that. So you suggest checking out "Songs of Moors...?"

Drudkh's "Autumn Aurora" may not actually be your cup of tea. It's influenced somewhat by Burzum and early Ulver, perhaps a tad of Summoning. I dunno....check samples first!

That sounds RIGHT up my alley. Or err, close to it.

I've loved early Ulver and most Summoning (I was the first person here to love them & talk about them!), I'm just not sure about Burzum, but still, I really want to check out Drudkh.

Yes yes yes! And "The August Engine", my god you (of all people) will blow your wad over that.

Well, "Autumn Aurora" is the one to start with. The debut is much more repetitive (Burzum-esque) so avoid that one -- I only say this because of your 'lukewarm' opinion of Filosofem. And their latest is the least accessible and I know you don't have the luxury of spending 6 months with something before it clicks.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

lol, "luxury of spending 6 months with something before it clicks" - so true

JayK, you know me and thus, I heart you.

THe August Engine is still better on every listen for me and Ive had it for a while now. The more I think about it, this is one of my ABSOLUTE favourite albums, maybe. It gives me a feeling unequaled by anything since my Opeth fanboy days. It has this great energy, power, and spellbinding awesome storytelling... damn, it's great! trad metal? no, no it isn't.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Ali, you'll be happy to know that I just ordered The August Engine (from CM distro of all places), and they also had the Gehenna I was looking for!

Score!

I got em all except the new Moonsorrow (which I need to hear) and D666 (whom I'm not terribly interested in).

Excellent idea, GZ. I'll take the list out and put it in a new thread, just cos this one's on 3 pages already.
