The Somberlain v. SoTLB

[Krilons Resa]

Which one do you prefer?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Somberlain

 

[General Zod]

Every so often I'll queue one of these up. But aside from the occasional riff, it never seems to grab me. Is there one track from either of these discs, that I should be focusing on.

Zod

 

[skeptik]

The Somberlain, definitely.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

sotlb

this poll has definitely been done before

 

[Ars Magna]

The Somberlain, hands down.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

you're all nuts! SoTLB for the win!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I never listen to either

 

[swizzlenuts]

I change my vote to Far Away From the Sun

 

[skeptik]

 

[Crimson Death]

Take a guess.

 

[EricT]

Reinkaos...........












Haha, nah. SoTLB.

 

[Crimson Death]

lol@Reinkaos
what a great tea coaster.

 

[Nico]

@ the Reinkaos haters. It is a completely outstanding album.

Voted for Storm.

 

[Ars Magna]

Reinkaos didn't do anything for me at all.

 

[Nico]

Well that's just a noggin' scratcher. Maha Kali is the weakest song on the album by quite some distance.

Perhaps the album is strengthened in the eye of the beholder by familiarity with the lyrical content? Would anyone with any knowledge of OTO care to weigh in?

 

[Ars Magna]

It's no wonder Jon killed himself following its release.

Wow.

 

[Nico]

It's no wonder Jon killed himself following its release.

This is an outrageous comment to make and one I'm utterly tired of hearing. If anything it's the misunderstanding that followed it's release which could almost be seen as incentive. If my art was so grossly misunderstood I'd feel like I'd wasted my time too.

 

[EricT]

I actually don't have a problem with Reinkaos by itself, but when you put it up against the other 2 albums, it just doesn't compare. It is definitely something completely different, and you have to take it as that.

 

[EricT]

Just some sarcasm and hyperbole guys.

I was actually quite torn and sad as fuck when I heard that Jon offed himself.

I have a swedish newspaper announcing his death on the front page hanging on my wall.
