i think this has moments where it flirts with something cool but i mostly found myself not too interested. the vocals were kind of a turn-off, i am really moving away from this kind of syrupy high-pitched male voice recently
not surprised in the least i was not too into this as a whole, a song or two i can take but this is one of those rather monochrome albums and i am someone who likes color. the 14 minute closer was kinda weird at least, i dug the drone-y second half? like this has its moments throughout mixed in with more aggressive stuff i don't care for but i doubt i could ever feel too strongly about it
well, i know where luoto got his username from now, at least. but i found this painfully boring, i barely noticed any of it while i was listening to it & technically didn't finish (didn't relisten to white palace at the end but listened to everything else so whatever). but yeah. not for me lol
somehow i was not aware this was metal at all? and that ivar bjornson is in enslaved the heck? well, that explains that, and, yeah, in the context of a full album all of this gets way better, i dug this quite a bit. definitely at least a relisten, might just go on the purchase list proper
too long, but above average for prog metal. there's a bit too much that feels like filler but the killer moments were there and hit hard. i'm upset at that one 2 minute instrumental that had some of the absolute best stuff on the album though, why isn't that one longer? that siren song in particular felt too long, cut that one down and give the rad instrumental more time. but no yeah this was pretty solid, will prob relisten
i think i may have overrated the song i got off this album just a tad - it's still good but i don't think it's quite the best song of the roulette. well anyways. i started off liking this quite a bit but as an album this is frustratingly one-note, where most of the songs are probably good in isolation (felt like it at least) but the entire album kind of runs together and i'm tired by the end (the closer was good regardless, just saying). maybe one or two tracks that felt kind of meh. will still relisten since there's definitely some emotional potency here but it desperately needed variation
hopefully i'll be able to burn through the rest of the roulette albums by saturday, 'cause i do kind of want to place an order asap. waaayy behind now lol. only like 2 albums from round 10 i still need to check out so that round should be quick but then there's like, 8 or so still from the EP round so, and a few more from round 9 as well
