Warning - Watching From a Distance

[skeptik]

1) You're just plain wrong then.
2) That last sentence is utterly hilarious considering the other band you're talking about is Mournful Congregation

No I fucking listened to Footprints 5 times a day for 3 months, bought the album when it went to Evil Legends, and listened to it non-stop in my car, on my ipod, at my computer, for about a week. I even stood outside with swizzle in the fucking cold and listened to it playing through the inside stereo kickass: ).

It's an amazing album and I truly love it, it just doesn't move me on the same level that the MC album does...that's it. Sometimes with Watching... I just want to go "Okay Pat I fucking get it, this is riff is really powerful and depressing but do you HAVE to play it unchanged for a whole 5 minutes?"

I think he does have to because it really sets the mood and the depressive atmosphere that much more. Some bands fail at this, but every time I listen I think how great Pat is to actually write something that is this slow, and barely every changing, yet it's so fucking powerful. The entire album I am swamped with emotion.

I enjoy The Monad a lot, and comparing it is awfully hard; however, the way Pat can play the same style of riffing the entire album and still fucking rule makes it better than The Monad.

EDIT: @ Dodens, give him about let's say 5-10 weeks and he'll be in our shoes. He's a little slow with metal sometimes

I'm sorry that my emotional response to an album doesn't precisely match yours.

joke btw

 

[skeptik]

FUCK, so that's where I left my rubber chicken.

Geez, ease up on our GreatDeceiver, not everybody has to love it in the gay way. Anyway, he says he does love it, just not as much as the Mournful album....which is fine, and by the way, I've never heard that Mournful album, but I guess I should check out.

@Ken, I know what you're saying about top 10 lists just being fun, and I agree, but I have to admit, I do look forward to reading them (whether here or in magazines) because sometimes I see stuff that I missed and might want to check out.

I know they're not important in the grand scheme of things, but I wonder what those lists would have looked like if people knew about Warning sooner rather than later....I know my '06 list would have included it fo shizzle!

 

[Krilons Resa]

^true dat.

Id also like to say that, on a lyrical standpoint, Faces hits home for me. Okay, now you all know my inner turmoil I deal with everyday, so fuck off.

 

[JayKeeley]

I think the only joke is in your pants.

By the way, I saw the greatest graffitti ever once in a dingy London pub. Just above the urinal, someone had scribbled on the wall:

"what are you looking up here for? the joke is in your hand"

 

[Demilich]

My favourite tracks are Faces and Echoes.

But they're all amazing. How many albums are this moving? Not many.

 

[Reign in Acai]

First listen through and my opinion is ...

Will listen again later.

Let me take a peek at these lyrics here.

If you ever consider selling this or trading it, please keep me in mind best friend ol' buddy.

I'll think about it. Remind me in a while.

 

[EricT]

Oh, and if anyone doesn't have Strength, and want it (since from what I understand, its really hard to find nowadays), I can upload it... if people want.

[swizzlenuts]

I'll think about it. Remind me in a while.

What the fuck! You let me buy it from you . I have the mp3s and I want to kill myself for not listening to Gaycifer and getting the $10 copy.

 

[EricT]

Haha, wow, didn't realize it was such a sought after album...

We shall see, chaps. We shall see.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I didn't know you ruled so much back then.....:zombie:


EDIT: I still won't trust your black metal taste though

 

[Krilons Resa]

Dude, I have rec MANY a great BM bands fucker. Im just ridiculously selective of the style now. I still enjoy it...just too much good shit otherwise out there.

 

[JayKeeley]

[skeptik]

I'd like to see it go over $500, for the label's sake.
