the new thyrfing -- it's not just good

[Erik]

As an album, I think I like the new one better than vansinnesvisor but I kinda miss the hits. None of the songs stood out for me like for example... Ångestens högborg did on vansinnesvisor.

kanske!!

imo DRAUGS HARG and especially VÄRLDSSPEGELN (best thyrfing song ever) stand out more than anything on the new album BUT "jag spår fördärv", "elddagjämning" and "farsotstider" are slowly but surely becoming almost as hitty as those

 

[Nate The Great]

you sure care a lot about what a bunch of shitty magazines think

I only care what Terrorizer thinks . . . most of the time.

Other than that I trust my skillzzz to tell me this new album is terribly boring. But I also think Amon Amarth have never played a note that wasn't boring. So my input on some things is probably about as important as a third testicle.

Who's Thyrfing? would I like them?

 

[Mormagil]

i'm surprised you haven't heard them already, don't you like all that viking stuff

 

[Ellestin]

OK let me address the question that could make the balance tip towards a purchase:

How does this compare to "Verisäkeet", with this whole talk about it displaying the darker Thyrfing and all?

lol, i thought he was being sarcastic

 

[Dark One]

Erik, I couldn't agree more with your opinion on the new Thyrfing - it's EASILY their best ever IMO after repeated listens. Epic, mature, rifftastic, darker and more menacing than anything they released before. The material also translated really well in a live setting.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

best ever? pfft

 

[Dark One]

best ever? pfft

I stand by my opinion. You can pfft it all you want. None of their other releases have captivated me like this one. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them all to varying degrees, but the new one just begs to be taken far more seriously, and IMO displays a clear evolution and maturation in songwriting.

wait, he wasn't?

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

OR WAS HE!!!! mystery post

 

[cthulufhtagn]

sarcasm overload

 

[Mormagil]

haha, "he" actually wasn't, but uhhhhhhhh...i'll say it's because i wasn't around in gugs's heyday. yep, that's it, i'm no idiot.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

i'm all confused now, i was referring to gugs...never mind, it's dead

incidentally i spotted somebody wearing this

shirt at the comics convention on sunday :Smug:

 

[Mormagil]

i always thought that joke would have been funnier if those commands would actually work in dos

 

[Dark One]

i still think vansinnesvisor outedges this one but i have a feeling that opinion might change

In all fairness, I still need to hear this one more. It's their only release I do not own.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

dont like the new Thyrfing at all. I prefer the "jolly" Thyrfing.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Jason: pffft
