I simply do not understand how one can have that complaint while fiving funeral doom or ESPECIALLY Fear Inoculum, which is far less dynamic than any ulcerate record.

I think he compaired the songwriting of this to the previous records.

@Pika: the fact he likes Funeral Doom wasn’t lost on me, it’s kind of why I mentioned it... sorry DDD.

I have no funeral doom alone 5d. But if I speak on what I appreciate on the one I 5d (Esoteric's Phyrric) looking at a stretch you get the evolution of each song, with various different sections, pretty adventorous that one...tks for reminding me...about the other won t speak in this thread.

Yeah, part of Ulcerate's shtick has always been to eek out as many variations of single phrase as they can, altering it to be alleviating at points and climactic at others. Soullessness Embraced is a brilliant early example of this as practically everything draws from that opening riff in one way or another. It's something they've done more liberally on recent albums too.

Yes, what Jacq said. Building an atmosphere doesn't require 30 different riffs per minute, definitely not as far as this branch of dm is concerned.



Tech death on the other hand...

Tks jaq. Just because didn t exactly do it for me it doesn t mean it wont or that I don't get the appeal of it.

ulcerate's approach to composition (basically variations on a theme) is one of the things i appreciate the most in music

Yes, this is what I generally appreciate in bm, post-metal and other atmospheric-tinged stuff.

Uhh well definitely not the "A to B" or "not much songwriting dynamics" bits, no. Variation form, sure. Guess it depends on whether you like that sorta thing?

The discussion for me started when someone refused a 4.5er to mention that this was bit samey...I enhanced several aspects of it, not comparing to anything, that may pass that impression, although I knew many of would get sassy on me, as I also mentioned.
