Bring it the fuck on. Only thing that worries me is Einar's hogging of songwriting duties.

Haha! I somehow knew you posted this article Omair. How ya been bud?

Well Spag doesn't post news articles so I guess I have to :P. Been good man

I am hype!

I only tried to post a news article once and it was details about the album Coal.

It wasn't approved so I stopped trying altogether.

Hell to the Yeah.

Too fucking excited for this.

Leprous AND Riverside new album. This is going to be a good year. Now that I'm officially in love with all three Leprous albums, I'm waiting for their following opus to amaze me!

Also, from the day that metal bands started composing songs via computer, metalheads have no right to say that pop is not music, because it's being composed by pressing buttons on a computer program.

Sorry for double post.

I'm a little worried about the computer thing as well, but at the same time I'm intrigued. Coal was more linear than its predecessors and Einar composed most of that as well. Let's hope this is a step up and more dynamic. Hopefully the whole band starts to compose together in the future as opposed to just Einar

Was a bit disappointed with Coal, even though it was pretty good overall.

Yup, that's how I feel. This news had me acting like your avatar :D

I loved the hell out of Coal, looking forward to this.

Hey. Bro. I'm sorry, but there's a difference between composing music on a computer to make arrangements, and then playing it on your instruments.... And outright JUST using the computer to create music.

I have no issue with either process, personally, but you can't claim they're the same thing as a point of argument against that metalhead philosophy.

You're right Cutman, but I imagine composing on a PC must be very limiting. The results will speak for themselves but I've lowered my expectations a little so that I won't be disappointed.

"Also, from the day that metal bands started composing songs via computer, metalheads have no right to say that pop is not music, because it's being composed by pressing buttons on a computer program."

That's a pretty silly elitist attitude tbh. How is that any different from classical composers writing sheet music? Did they have to be able to PLAY every single part on every single instrument in order to be considered a great composition? Do you lose respect for Jason Becker because he uses a computer to compose and "play" the music that he cannot physically play anymore?

Good music is good music. Just judging it because it was made using a computer as an instrument or as a tool rather than a conventional instrument says nothing about the music, but more about a backwards belief system about how great art can be created and manifested.

....Wait, how in the world is composing on a computer very limiting? A computer is capable of producing any note that exists, at any tempo, in any time signature, any meter, any.... Use whatever musical term you want, it can be done on a computer.

It is in no way limiting. There are a lot of composers for film score and stuff that compose on their computer before translating it to bigger things... It often EXPANDS my creativity, changes my habits, when I start on my computer.

@SitarHero / CutMan Hey man, it was just a joke because I've heard a lot of times that pop and electronic etc, are not music just because there's the use of computers. I used to believe this extensively, though now I have been proven wrong multiple times. Anyway, it was supposed to be a joke, but, hell, I was never great with humour....

Oh, dude, like, I wasn't offended or anything, I was just saying that I don't think it's actually the same.
