the mind's i and skydancer are their best after this

Album Rating: 5.0

Character, Fiction, Damage Done are all better than those

Album Rating: 4.5

common misconception around these parts

Uncommon opinion by Source apparently

Skydancer is good not great tho

Thalassic I think you meant to say prime melodeath

It's good, plenty of terrific leads there, but it doesn't flow all that well to me

It's also evident that Stanne >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Friden

Album Rating: 4.5

TJR era Friden is the best tho. the perfect melodeath growl

Friden is pretty good on TJR yeah. He's alright when he sticks to growling/screaming...

...but WHO THE FUCK ever told that guy that he should start with the clean singing?

Album Rating: 4.5

ironically, Stanne's clean singing is even worse. like why did they think it was a good idea

Dude why you kick me in the groin like that?
Stanne's cleans on Projector are Depeche Mode perfection

Album Rating: 4.5

i can't get his singing on Mundane and the Magic out of my head forever

Well that's not his finest moment for sure.
His cleans on for instance Auctioned or Day To End are great

Album Rating: 5.0

Lol at no point has Friden ever been worthy of tying Stanne's boots

Album Rating: 4.5

except on skydancer

Depeche Mode perfection eh? Lol, didn’t expect to see a DM ref in here, not sure why I’m even lurking, I’ll show myself out...

Stanne has good cleans on Construct/Atoma, def better than Friden's cleans.



As to earlier DT, I guess it depends on what you like. I still prefer Stanne over Friden but I like those gothic sounding cleans. As to growling, Stanne >> no contest.

Chaos is the best after this. With the Flaming Shades of Fall slays

this band has done a great job early on but they suck now so lets let them rip

They're rich so they can just ride it out now
