One of those cases where the album cover kept me from listening to it for a really long time.

Woah, only 4 songs in and it's fucking awesome so far! The vocals are probably the make or break factor for most, they're very out there but I can dig 'em.
gave this a spin myself. for a band that doesn't use any growls at all the music actually gets pretty dang heavy but there's also a 70's rock feel flowing through it all that i dig.

i am not... too keen on the vocals but they're not awful and the real draw here is the music anyways

I tried this album, but could not get into it, so clicked on Duel-Fears of the Dead. Genre says Stoner metal. The lead singer sounds a lot like Jim Morrison from the Doors. If you like old school rock, give this a try. The information states the band features two former Scorpion Child members(never heard of the band).

Last song on album is Locked Outside

Yes, it's flamboyant, over the top and cheesy as hell. But they can pull it off. Love it.

Some meh vocals, but good lord, there's some excellent guitar on this album.

Not a bad music video. That camera man knew what he was doing.

If only they had ManOwaR's budget, and maybe their singer too. Love it though

The quality of the females on your album covers are deteriorating mate.

I left her in charge of the grill. It's not my fault she took it literally when I said to cook everything.

Man, my tastes in music are so diverse

look at all these bands I'm listening to today

Tomislav95 · « **Reply #4407 on:** February 23, 2017, 09:04:08 AM »

That BTBAM album is pretty good.

Nocturnes and Requiems: This album rules. Pretty straightforward stuff, but so badass that I don't care all that much. Jake Dreyer is a beast of a guitar player (shame that he'll soon be wasting his talents in Iced Earth) - definitely recommended to any fans of Nevermore.
Fables of the Sleepless Empire: Definitely Unexpect's best. They strike just the right balance between being crazy and not going overboard. Unfed Pendulum is so good.
Hegaiamas: Except for the spoken word track, this is a really good album. Nothing as immediately captivating like Lifeknot and Mother Madness on Orvam, but crazily consistant. Take away the final couple minutes of spoken word, and the title track is probably my favourite Need song.
In the Passing Light of Day: I've gushed enough about this album, so suffice to say that this is still my favourite album of this year. It's not quite perfect, but damn close to it, and the three epics are all superb.
In Glorious Times: What Unexpect would sound like if they were less metal and even more weird. Miles ahead of Of Natural History, and a beast of an album. Angle of Repose, Ossuary and Salt Crown are my favourites, but the whole album is a really interesting listening experience.
Communication Lost: I dig this melancholic vibe throughout. It's pretty simple musically, but still a very rewarding listen. The vocals are great throughout.

dreadnought: while there's not really any song on this that sticks out to me & a few of the tracks feel maybe a bit stretched out, it's still plenty interesting musically. maybe a bit light on the metal elements but ehh who cares. i like it. it's not great & i still feel i'm gonna enjoy spinning their debut more but it's still a solid release
in the woods...: this basically just is the slightly better version of novembre - ursa, lol. the songs are a bit more distinct (though not that much more distinct; there's a few here that don't stand out at all), there's plenty of great heavy stuff. the instrumental here isn't as good as agathae though. really this isn't a fantastic album or anything but it's enjoyable. sounds kinda like green carnation at times too, especially the drumming.
saor: again none of the songs really stand out that much, but the album as a whole is still pretty enjoyable to listen to. feels a bit more diverse than aura, the folk stuff doesn't blend together as much as it did there. i dunno if it's necessarily "better" though because, again, not crazy about this one either, but i still enjoy it & wanna keep spinning it for a while yet.

the week of "i'm not really crazy about this album but it's pretty solid" albums, lol
