Butthurt all over the place.
Sure.......Not at all...It's just that normally Hyperbore doesn't back up his point on why is it bad and like someone said, he likes to put a lot of big words for absolutely nothing.
He talks about reviewing the composition, songwriting, but in the metal world, it is almost the same thing as riffs, lyrics, drumming ability, general atmosphere, guitar and bass work, leads, transitions, dynamics etc.
He also does a lot of pejorative comments like the ones in the last paragraph, "Windir is children's music made for adults, and as such this will be popular with man-children and nobody else" "This is the kind of metal that is not metal" who is pretty much a rant. Good negative reviews tend to highlight the bad points of the album, not point of view on how metal should sound, how the atmosphere is suppose to be.
I will not neg, but seriously Hyperbore stop writing negative rewiews(even if it's the only one you did) because you're a much better writer than this.

I back up my points all the time, including here. Big words hurt your brain? Not my problem. BUTTHURT DETECTED

Wow, childish attitude like I would have expected from you.
No, I understand the big words but the general consensus for writing rewiews here would be to use simple words because of the target audience who seems to have a niche here. Using big words doesn't always show superiority or intelligence(but you seems to think the opposite(even if it's only a presumption of me))
I compliment you on your others rewiews and this is what I got. I don't think you backed up your point here, it's my point of view. Take it or not doesn't really matter to me.

Yeah, that's why you keep trying to clarify it. There's nothing wrong with pejorative (how dare you use a big word on this site) comments for an album that is as shitty as this one. If you think nothing's been backed up, you either haven't read the comments or have preferred to pay more attention to their tone than to their content.

Also, riffs do not equal songwriting. See grindcore. Lyrics do not equal songwriting, they're poetry. Drumming ability, guitar and bass work, and so on definitely doesn't equal songwriting, it's just ability to use an instrument. Atmosphere is a result of songwriting, it is not the same thing. Dynamics and transitions, and in some cases leads, are part of songwriting, but were described in the review.

It serves absolutely nothing to discuss with you. You have your point of view of music in general. I have mine and it tends to change whatever I listen to, like I will look for "catchiness" "creativity" "lyrics" "singing in key and with good vocal techniques" in pop compared to what I named here for metal.
Everything artist write is for me songwriting. A single note played over and over can be considered songwritten, A loop played over and over can be considered too. Lyrics are not poetry but part of the song, so songwriting again.What will differ between good and bad songwriting, is the ability to make good transitions, the use of dynamics, the coherence,the manner they bring their music, the creativity or originality too, the clever use of samples(in style like hip-hop, electronic,), etc . You cannot write a thing without thinking of how it will compliment with the different parts of a song. I didn't write things in my life, but I have many friends who are musicians from different musical horizons(death metal, folk, punk, prog) and thinks that everything is important from lyrics to riffs to transitions to, etc
I think I have made my point. Agree or disagree with it.

"It serves absolutely nothing to discuss with you." Again, if this were true you'd stop replying. Lyrics are not songwriting because they are not music. It's very simple. They are part of the larger aspect of an album, but they have no bearing on composition itself, just like album art. A single note played over and over would be composition, although it would get a 0 instead of a 1.5 unless there was other music surrounding it which became accentuated due to its use - a full album of a single note would be a 0. Like I said, transitions, dynamics, and coherence are relevant, and that is why they -pay attention- WERE DISCUSSED.

I'm just replying because you're a stubborn guy who is so self-centered on is simplistic view of music. The lyrics are not just a larger aspect of an album and comparing their roles to the same as album art is frankly underwhelming. It's like they have no impact on you. Also, The lyrics sang are part of music because people would just sing the same note over and over if they were not that important. Also, lyrics serve on the composition because they bring emotion on the mix, they related sometime to ourselves or just serve others purposes such as inform us.
From what I understand, you probably dislike ambient, drone and electronic music in general because repeats are part of that type of music.
I know the other points were discussed but I disagree with you for the others. It's like saying the musical progression of riffs and the drums use has nothing to do with the music. If you can't WRITE riffs, your metal, rock and even punk band wouldn't even play music. Riffs are note, note are songwriting no? Drums use has an impact on the music itself. It serves as a rythmic reference and bring something to the music with different sounds coming from the different surfaces you hit. It's like saying tympani in some classical composition are not part of the music and the songwriting process.
Presumptions again , but you do nothing to defend yourselves.

No, you're replying because you're a self-absorbed narcissist who can't handle someone else being aware of how much of an uneducated dolt he is.
| | |
Oh god. You can't handle the truth so you use insults? Prove my points are wrong and we will see. At least, try to bring something to the table.
Uneducated Dolt? I'm so slow witted that I always got the best scores of my school program , teachers are saying I shouldn't even be in this program and compliment my rational side, my quickness to act and my social ability(I'm a guy nurse). I normally have good "manners"(I'm french so I don't know the real word here), but when people are saying their point of view is absolute, I'm just pissed off. I know my point of view is only one, but you act like yours is better.
Self-Absorbed narcissist? You think I'm an attention whore? You think I do this just to prove I'm better than you? Fucking wrong on both sides.
I'm tired.

This guy died a terrible death.

Shame the guy from Windir died. At least, he has done better things than Hyperbore in his life.
| | |
The guy from Windir. Froze to death.

This is the kind of metal that is not metal
holy shit

He said it in his review, so his POV is the best.....

A native Norwegian would have to be really, really stupid to die in a snowstorm. It wasn't a tragic death, it was a blessed death, since the gene pool's that much cleaner as a result.

mensulight is wrong about songwriting, js.
| | |
WHat is "js" seriously.. I don't know what it is because I'm french.. Edit: Found.
But my point stands. I think a song is all the things, js.
| | |
oh my god this loser still here
Who are you talking about?
I retract what I said about guitar work or bass work and drumming ability. I just expressed myself with words I know and it has resulted in misunderstanding.
Liledman..So what is songwriting if it's not writing melody(notes, riffs, leads,etc), lyrics, dynamics, coherence, transitions, the rhythmic sections of drums(who also produce sounds, I don't talk about the ability) ?
