The Glorious Burden

[SpiritCrusherX]

I've heard mixed opinions on this album, but more bad than good. I've heard it described as "The Glorious Shitfest," etc., but I actually really dig this album. Iced Earth definitely isn't the same without Matt Barlow, but they probably couldn't get a better guy than Tim Owens to replace him. I think he does a killer job, introducing some excellent falsetto (I think) wails into the songs. Schaffer, ever the riff master, doesn't disappoint either. Songs like "The Reckoning" and "Red Baron/Blue Max" are undeniably excellent.

I also think the album's theme is really cool. It's especially powerful for me because I felt like a completely different person after the events of 9/11. I had this renewed pride for my country, and this album perfectly describes the way I feel.

What are everyone else's thoughts?

My honest opinion is stay the fuck out of this forum as long as you post non-In Flames related bullshit in here.
Oh yeah, and patriocy is moronic. Shut up, we don't care.

Wrong forum, SCX.

 

[Blackthorned]

I didnt know there were strict rules to forum topics. The guy really does not deserve the hostility either, what is the world coming to?

Dude, shut the fuck up, people definitely post off topic stuff all the time, I really don't think I deserved that. And I'm pretty sure that patriocy isn't a word.

@Gums: Hah, indeed. nemuu vs. SpiritCrusherX: 1 - 1.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Naw, I think SCX totally outpwned nemuu.

It would have been better in the Iced Earth forum. Just one forum away...

Sorry for not having English as my mother tongue and being dyslexic. I do think I made my point. Sorry, but if you post a shitty thread in the wrong forum, you WILL be flamed, and you WILL deserve it. I don't give a flying fuck if people post off-topic threads all the time, the forums are here for a reason.

I love the new Iced Earth!

One simple remark about an Iced Earth album and look what happens. Metal really does breed hate - hurrah!

Thank you. Anyway, I had already checked the Iced Earth forum, I just wanted some other opinions.

And nemuu, sorry, I thought English was your mother tongue. I won't hold anything against you but I think that was pretty uncalled for. You could've expressed your feelings in a much nicer way. And don't proceed to tell me what I do and do not deserve.

I love the new Iced Earth!

Thank you for actually answering my question! I like it too, I just picked it up today. Good theme, good songs, awesome singing, it has it all.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Take that Barlow!

Punk-ass motherfucker...

Posts like these redeem you, you know. For every action there's a reaction, don't expect to go unnoticed if you post crap in the wrong forums. I might've been a bit harsh, but I got no kindness to spare.

 

[SpiritCrusherX]

Fair enough, I just didn't expect such a rise since off topic stuff always slides by on many UM forums. For what it's worth I'm sorry, and there are no hard feelings.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Yay! Everyone's happy now!

nemuu you have a mere 300 posts. why, of all people, do you always bitch about threads and spam? what are you, the wannabe thread police? 50% of your posts must be you complaining about "worthless threads". you do realize that this is a whole giant community, don't you? if not, you would probably have a heart attack by seeing the sheer amount of spam and threads outside this little unnofficial IF forum. this is one of the most on-topic forums on UM, for the record.
