You're really messing with my OCD.

this is a lot less folk and a lot more metal than the mantle, but the metal here is better than the mantle, the metal of the mantle tended to be the weaker moments really
it feels less flavorful in comparison though but this is like my second time listening so we shall see, though this probably won't be in my rotation for a while yet since i have so much stuff omg

i have no clue what the purpose of this album is tbh but i'mma keep listening to it until i find out
except i've heard vicarious like a hundred times literally so

Crow · « **Reply #6837 on:** April 02, 2016, 04:19:07 PM »

yeah... don't really care for this one, it's not awful but the songs all feel stretched out and underwritten.

Crow · « **Reply #6838 on:** April 02, 2016, 04:44:09 PM »

pretty cool instrumental EP, i enjoy it but i can't say much of it is very memorable. still pretty solid though. i basically only got this because half of the band is east of the wall

Jeff wasn't too happy with me on Facebook the other day when I said the direction wasn't for me. He seemed to think I must be some pink n fluffy fan wanting another Eyes album. Had to put him right

Abour Rosetta's The Galilean Satellites: first CD is just what I expected, great atmospheric post-metal. But I wasn't in mood for the second CD (ambient noise). I read it is intended to play both CDs at the same time but I haven't tried

Crow · « **Reply #6847 on:** April 03, 2016, 03:45:27 PM »

the galilean satellites is great (both discs) but yeah the second disc isn't something i'm always in the mood for
and i just used audacity to combine the two discs into one and yeah it does improve the overall experience a little though tbh i wouldn't call it a huge difference since the ambient disc gets drowned out a lot of the time

Crow · « **Reply #6848 on:** April 03, 2016, 06:02:38 PM »

listening to this again on YT for reasons.
dunno if i will get it but i probably should, even if i don't really fall in love with it or anything

Sacul · « **Reply #6849 on:** April 03, 2016, 10:41:35 PM »

You should

Untrue is one of my all-time favorite albums, and I've checked most of his EPs, but for some reason never felt compelled to jam his debut - probably because I had listened to some of it years ago and didn't like it. Damn, I was wrong, this is excellent. Not in the lever of the follow-up, but very enjoyable.

I love Jeff (as an artist and a person) but he seems to have his knickers in a twist with all these backhanded remarks he's throwing around ("I'm glad that the melrock crowd hate it " etc..) I think he is barking up the wrong tree as most of my favourite material of his (Malmsteen,Talisman) is heavier than this plodding stuff in many ways. He seems to assume that everyone who likes melodic rock wants another W.E.T album , whereas I certainly do not.

Personally I think his voice suits the modern style quite well - I just don't happen to like the style with the plodding downtuned guitars/modern rock. I was exhausted by the end of it. I am also sick of the "you liar,you done me wrong, I am gonna kick your ass" style lyrics that he seems to love writing these days. He's trying too hard to be a mean dude.

Having said all that I don't think it's awful or as bad as some are making out - tracks like Freakshow,Unblame,Awakened etc.. do have some good qualities. I just really have no real desire to hear them regularly.

Rating: 70%

PS the best track for me is the Apple bonus track Cracking The Stone. The other bonus is better than just about everything on the regular disc too

Add those two tracks and I would rate it a few pts higher.

What a dick.

I figured that would be your general opinion Brent based on the first one. I really liked the first one so I'll probably get it. But he doesn't need to act like a big tough guy douche bag about it. I for one, don't really want another WET album as the second one was absolute shit.
