Themed Mixtape Game

[no country for old wainds]

i'd like a few more sets of ratings before i close this, only got 11 so far.

I really don't get how people think Reagers Vitus is "clearly superior" to Wino Vitus...

 

[Krow]

its really like comparing getting your dick sucked to having sex... cant really go wrong, but yeah I've always preferred Reagers.

 

[no country for old wainds]

first album is on another level from the rest for me. the vitus song is my favourite on this playlist and it isn't even necessarily my favourite on that album.

I really don't get how you don't listen to Count Raven.

Reagers is not only a clearly better singer and a much more unique vocalist than Wino, but the songwriting on the first two albums stands out a lot more than their later music. It isn't like they made the exact same music but just changed the singer.

EDIT: I should also address Die Healing as I feel that it's a very strong album. Once again, it isn't the exact same music as Wino Vitus. I don't know if I feel that it's better than all Wino era albums though.

 

[CiG]

Die Healing is better than Hallow's Victim in my opinion, so it's not even so much about how they performed musically in their earliest days.

Wino rules forever but I think Reagers just carried the Saint Vitus flag better, Wino was born for The Obsessed.

Anyway, Mournful Cries is one of their best albums. My two cents.

 

[Omni]

I haven't heard the reunion album, but Mournful Cries is probably their second weakest album after C.O.D. in my opinion. I still like both albums.

 

[CiG]

I rank them like this (not including EPs or live):

Self Titled
V
Die Healing
Mournful Cries
Born Too Late
Hallow's Victim
C.O.D.
Lillie: F-65

They're all amazing to me though, obviously.

 

[Krow]

S/T
Die Healing
Mournful Cries
Born Too Late
Hallow' Victim
The Walking Dead
Lillie: F-65
V/C.O.D

V and COD are fine but I feel like the vocalist ain't a great fit. He's much better in Count Raven.

 

[CiG]

Did you mean to make it sound like you think Chritus sang on V just now?

Honestly think "Fear," "Planet Of Judgement" and "Shadow Of A Skeleton" stand up to the best of any of the other albums.

 

[Krow]

Eh looks like I jammed a couple sentences together. Fuck it, those albums are low priority Vitus to me anyway. Not even gonna correct myself.

While you're waiting for people to rate, why don't you go participate in the new round of the non-metal mixtape game that just started? The theme for this round is DEATH. I deliberately chose a metal theme to get more of you fuckers to join.

 

[no country for old wainds]

are there many people playing this one that aren't playing the other one? if anything my non-metal round was a little more active than this has been.

 

[Krow]

This one feels a little stale tbh, same people submitting same kinds of stuff every round. Baroque, Tech, and arg downvote everything else the majority likes but in the end dont make a big enough difference to change anything, lather-rinse-repeat.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Born Too Late with Thirsty and Miserable tacked on
Saint Vitus
Hallow's Victim
Mournful Cries
V
Die Healing
Lillie: F-65
C.O.D.

Boom.

 

[Caecius]

Where are we at with this thread? How many more ratings?

Actually they and other contrarians are the ones with the biggest impact on the game because they're likely to give the most wildly varying scores to favorites like Vitus and Angel Witch.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The in-crowd effect in full force right now.

 

[no country for old wainds]

it was always gonna get a little stale after a while because it's not like we're all changing our tastes overnight or something. i would definitely like to see some more diversity in terms of sub-genre though.
