That sounded really beautiful. Hindsight is pretty cool and I'm still getting into WHBWH, gorgeous music overall.

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #528 on:** July 25, 2011, 04:12:58 PM »

so, so glad i preordered Falling Deeper. sounds even better than i thought it would!

now, if only they'd do a Hindsight + Falling Deeper double vinyl release...

I am excite. And if one day they decide to re-record/remaster Eternity, I'll come with the force of a thousand suns.

Heretic · « **Reply #530 on:** July 26, 2011, 11:52:43 AM »

Alright, more listens have been given to WHBWH and I absolutely love it. Awesome atmosphere, really beautiful music, and can I just say Dreaming Light is one of the best songs, ever?

Yes you can and you'd be correct

I first heard this song today and I was incredibly mindblown. Is there anything from them along those lines, I'm looking for some specific tunes, not an album. I need some songs to sink into their beautiful melancholic music and get into them.

Sounds promising!

However, I'm disappointed at the track lengths, some songs are about half shorter than the originals!

Angels Walk Among Us is another song from that same album that I think is just absolutely beautiful. Seriously just listen to that whole album, We're here because we're here. It has a lot of songs that are beautiful and uplifting, and I don't think you'll find much stuff like it in their previous albums (Atleast from the ones I've heard)

Some emotional and beautiful Anathema tunes I can recommend:
Angelica
Inner Silence
One Last Goodbye
Temporary Peace
Flying

I picked one from each album without grunts. Those aren't similar to Dreaming Light but definitely worth listening.

Zantera · « **Reply #538 on:** July 28, 2011, 02:41:19 AM »

I wouldn't say that The Silent Enigma has grunts, after all it is Vinny singing.
The Silent Enigma as a whole is a masterpiece album, the only one I don't like that much would be Serenades, the rest of the discography is gold.

i was listening to "Restless Oblivion" today, he is grunting.

Zantera · « **Reply #540 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:58:26 AM »

Maybe, but the vocals are much more clean then they are grunt-style throughout the album at least.

? · « **Reply #541 on:** July 28, 2011, 04:06:21 AM »

His vocals on TSE aren't as harsh as Darren's were on Serenades and Crestfallen, but I would definitely count them as growls/screams.

Zantera · « **Reply #542 on:** July 28, 2011, 04:17:26 AM »

I'd say the vocals are more raw and there are a few words in most of the songs that he almost screams out in agony, but to even compare it to growl is kinda far fetched IMO.
I mean, with a lot of growl-vocals, you almost need to read the lyrics in order to "aha, that's what he was singing", but Vinny's vocals on TSE are clear at pretty much all times, It's very easy to hear what he is singing.

Also, we haven't done this in a few pages... album-rankings:

1. We're Here Because We're Here
2. Judgement
3. The Silent Enigma
4. A Natural Disaster
5. A Fine Day to Exit
6. Alternative 4
7. Eternity
-----
8. Serenades

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #543 on:** July 28, 2011, 04:38:57 PM »

i wouldn't call them "grunts" either. he yells some. no growling, no real screaming, just agonized yelling. you know — pain! like proggy doom metal should have all over the vocals!

volwrath · « **Reply #544 on:** July 29, 2011, 10:12:27 AM »

I dont know about this band. Judgement and AND just always leaves me in a funk after I listen to them.

I think there should be a disclaimer on those albums

Of course WH reverses this course, so at least Anathema prvides an antidote.

Heretic · « **Reply #545 on:** August 17, 2011, 05:08:57 AM »

So, obviously the greatest part of We're Here Because We're Here is when the man keeps on repeating "life is a turtle"

Zantera · « **Reply #546 on:** August 17, 2011, 05:53:32 AM »

I totally love that song!
Funny enough, my least favorite songs on the album would be Everything and Dreaming Light, but everyone else seem to have such a hard-on for the latter, though I still think it's a good song.

Universal, Thin Air, Hindsight, Summernight Horizon... this band should make new material!
(Though I'm obviously really psyched for Falling Deeper)

I just can't stand that guy. I really wish he wasn't there, because in my opinion he sticks out like a sore thumb on what would otherwise be a flawless record.

I really like his voice, it sounds very nice. And somehow what he says feels really... convincing to me even though I'm not exactly a big optimist.

But why did you have to say that? I'll hear this every time now.

Also... listened to Judgement again yesterday, I had only listened to it twice or so before (mistake, I know...). Amazing album... Deep, Parisienne Moonlight and Anyone, Anywhere are my favourites this far.

mizzl · « **Reply #549 on:** August 17, 2011, 07:19:48 AM »

1) A Natural Disaster

2) We're Here Because We're Here
3) Judgement
4) Alternative 4
5) A Fine Day to Exit

haven't listened to anything else by them yet really

Zantera · « **Reply #550 on:** August 17, 2011, 07:55:11 AM »

That's slack.
Go get The Silent Enigma and Eternity right away!

ariich · « **Reply #551 on:** August 20, 2011, 03:49:17 AM »

That montage from Falling Deeper sounds really amazing!

So I'd been a bit of a fan of Anathema before, but was never blown away by their stuff (I really liked Judgement and rather liked a couple of albums I'd heard). But a couple of weeks ago I finally got round to hearing WHBWH, and it's just such an amazing album, on a whole different level!

Of course, I checked it out on Spotify, but now the album has been taken off because Kscope are owned by Snapper Music who seem to have followed Century Media's lead and taken most of their music off Spotify. I was thinking of buying myself a copy before, but now out of principal I'm not sure I'll bother. Definitely excited about the new album though!

Zantera · « **Reply #552 on:** August 20, 2011, 03:55:43 AM »

Why wouldn't you buy it?
It is totally worth it!

I'm quite the Anathema-collector myself, the only "official" releases I can think of that I still need would be: Crestfallen EP, Resonance (1 and 2) and A Moment in Time (DVD).

Because retarded record labels are taking their stuff off Spotify. I pay for Spotify premium and was all ready to go and buy the album anyway because I liked it so much, whereas now I feel less inclined to do so and give all my money to the label. I'd much rather go and see them live (which I did at HV and will do again when they next play) and give THEM my money.

Zantera · « **Reply #554 on:** August 20, 2011, 04:11:43 AM »

Ah.
Seeing as I'm one of those who hates Spotify, what it stands for and this whole mp3-generation, it's kinda hard for me to understand that.
For me it's kinda obvious to buy albums by artists I love, so yeah... we could really discuss this for hours, and I'd still be all

about it.

On another note, it would totally be worth the money though.
WHBWH has some of their best artwork (imo), and I really enjoyed looking through it when I first heard the album.
You said that WHBWH renewed your interest in the band, but have you since then tried any of the older albums again, maybe they'll click more now?

faemir · « **Reply #555 on:** August 20, 2011, 07:07:50 AM »

Indeed!

To not derail this thread completely, was it 5th September for Falling Deeper?
Gotta order it soon.
