This is just awful...not only for Draconian, but simply an awful album. The lyrics on Turning Season Within were magnificent, so great in fact even Shakespeare would pause to admire them. These lyrics are so cheap, so superficial I can't bear to read them twice. The riffs are dull, repetitive and there's nothing emotional about them. The occasional slow parts which just jump in without any forewarning feel totally out of place. I don't see how this album is doom metal at all, it's just simple drone metal. There's not a speck of emotion, even the clean vocals are bad. Though the main vocalist has a beautiful voice as always...the way she sings on this album sounds waaaaay too popish for me. The growls are uninspired which combined with the awful lyrics makes me skip them in some songs entirely sometimes. What a disappointment.
Addendum: Also, people like Hawks defending his opinion by stating that everyone who thinks differently is a retard also speaks volumes about whatever he likes (like this album for example). |
