To buy or not to buy?

[lumitalvi]

So I have heard so many good things about Antimatter.
I still need to hear them.
Tell me about the music. Is it really that Anathema-like that I´ve been told? Like how?
Is is really that good to purchase?
And which one of the full-lenghts should I get first?

First I want to hear your opinions, then I´ll go to the record store and listen.

Thank you.

get Saviour, it's very alternative 4 like (except there is no metal) 2 female vocalists, and a guy...some very sad songs, some more uptempo songs, its pretty varied. If you don't mind it not being heavy it's an outstanding album. the newest one "lights out" is more of a dark sounding album, not as varied and not even close to saviour imo

What an crap opinion. Lights out is awesome. True piece of art and as a album it have a unique feeling. Everything in right place. Saviour has great songs but as an album I don't think it's that good compared to Lights out. Then again I've misused that Saviour one in wrong situations like fucking with wrong girl. But get 'em both.

[Morpheus]

three: both

seriuosly, check out the homepage, the mp3's, the reviews and you can and will make your own decision!

yet i will say welcome to the board

 

[lumitalvi]

Well thanks to all!

Umm.. I´m a little bit against mp3:s, so I´ll be going to listen the records to a record-store.
And finey, I´m gonna listen to them both and then form my own opinion.

But I don´t really care to have any Antimatter-strings ,though

And thanks for the warm welcome, Morpehus

We
Umm.. I´m a little bit against mp3:s

Even if they're legal ones like those on Antimatter site? Why?

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

yeah, even if the band member tell you to do so?

 

[lumitalvi]

@Har* and mehdi.i.e.e.e. :
Well first of all I have this shitty old computer with no speakers
And second... don´t know what to say to the "legal"- thingy, but it just feels stupid/wrong to hear music from the internet. I prefer the "real" stuff, don´t know if you understand.

I prefer real albums also but as a preview tool this internet thing is great. It's the most efficient way to check new stuff really. But then again what am I to say.

 

[lumitalvi]

It makes sense and all that, doen´t just work for me...

 

[Don Corleone]

what kind of stuff do you listen to, my finnish friend?

 

[lumitalvi]

You can see the main bands from my profile.. they are Hypocrisy, Pain, Opeth and Anathema.
Hard to mention others, ´cause these 4 are far better then anything else for me.

 

[Mariner]

oh no. you're sure youre not from switzerland? :Spin:

 

[lumitalvi]

No, not that I know of
my family roots date back to somewhere in Germany, though...

But why??

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

whats your favourite anathema album? and your fave opeth?

 

[lumitalvi]

whats your favourite anathema album? and your fave opeth?

Um... tough question...
From Anathema I´d say maybe Alternative 4. ( / Judgement)

And from Opeth maybe ...argh.... umm...fuck... Morningrise ( / Still Life)
It changes with what I´m feeling at the listening moment.
Very hard to define the order.

Yours?

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

i like alternative 4 the most. and i dont like opeth.

 

[lumitalvi]

Ok.
