You can be very analytic as long as you can still enjoy the music.
If you put your analysis before the feeling a song or album invokes, then you're wrong imo.
But analysis isn't bad.

Oh well, each to his own.

[quote=i am the robots;15359574]I know this, but the way those vocals were recorded still kills the quality of the music.[/quote]


@Cocaine: This statement refers to production/engineering. Leveling would be more of a mixing thing.

But whatever, I don't want to argue about it.

I just feel that oversaturated vocals take a lot away from any feel.

Well then I fail at terminology, I did sort of mean the leveling oh well.

Oh okay, I get you.


I think saturated vocals really work for some bands....but I understand where you're coming from.

:'panzerfaust:

I don't like some of the material on Panzerfaust.

Saturation does work in some cases, take the ambient interlude in [I]Thus From My Lips, By Yours, My Sin Is Purged[/I] by As Cities Burn for example, however when the vocals come out sounding like some sort of a laser or siren because of distortion, I think it gets to be a bit much.

Yea, true.

However, not to be a dick (because we are both All Shall Perish fans), some of his screams sound like that sometimes....

Especially on The Price of Existance.

[QUOTE=Behemoth_Rules_All;15359621]I don't like some of the material on Panzerfaust.[/QUOTE]

mainly the vocals for me.
Although it has it's charm, I think it'd be better if they were drowned into the production like Burzum - Filosofem or Darkspace - Darkspace I

That's what kills a lot of Darkthrone's work for me.....

Eddie does tend to over-layer his vocals at certain parts, but for the most part he's one of the most creative extreme metal vocalist at the moment.

[I]Hate. Malice. Revenge.[/I] was with a different singer. He was fat and like 6'5", watching their old videos is fun.

1) I most definitely agree.

2) I only listened to a few off thier first one a long time ago, so I actually did not know this.....that's funny.

HMR is real good, I think it's funny how they found a better singer who with the same voice, so to speak.

Wow, I never thought I'd see bitching about production in this thread.

Why we chattin' ASP itt?

Paysage D'Hiver ****ing blows. I downloaded his semi-new album last night and it was terrible.

What, how dare you Austin >:|

I have not heard that one but the S/T and a couple others and they rule.

I just couldn't listen to it. I should be mixed with a lot of harsh vocaled sections like Vinterriket, who is far superior to Paysage.

Vinterriket are boring. I could never get through the album I had in one listening. It seemed to be something I'd like. Ah well.

I haven't heard the new Paysage D'Hiver, but what I did hear was good. Haven't listened in ages though.

i like paysage

austin are you talking about einsamkeit

Necromansy if f‪ucking great.

Let's not mention the cool extended elite 6 min version I got.

Yeah, I think. It had the song Kraft off it.

Haha, how do you like Paysage but not Vinterriket? Vinterriket has some awesomly well-timed harsh vocal sections.

[QUOTE=Nostalgia;15360475]Haha, how do you like Paysage but not Vinterriket? Vinterriket has some awesomly well-timed harsh vocal sections.[/QUOTE]

The album was too long for it's own good from what I remember. It dragged on, and I would just get bored. It had some good moments, but...

Incase you say anything about Paysage albums being long, I have the one that's a little over half an hour long, Kristel and Isa. I also have the s/t, but I haven't completely listened to that one yet.

However, I don't have a problem with very lengthy albums. That one just didn't hold my attention.

Nice avatar btw, good release. Have't listened to in a while, either though :p

Yeah, haven't listened to in a while either. I wrote a review for Summer Rehearsal by the way.

Actually it was just sacrifice i'm sorry :I

Yeah, I read it. It's hard to describe that release, heh.

I only wrote it becuause I saw you on M-A and noticed you'd written like 10 reviews and I only had one, hahaha.

[QUOTE=Nostalgia;15360547]I only wrote it becuause I saw you on M-A and noticed you'd written like 10 reviews and I only had one, hahaha.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

I might go back and re write some eventually. /shrug

And I'm never sure about ratings, which is a piss off, so I just leave them as they are from now on.

Hey Austin, did you ever listen to that Krohm album? I have it but have yet to listen.

first Krohm album is awfully boring... is the new one any better?

[QUOTE=Stormrider331;15360572]

Go with 7% or 97%

no it can't be sacrifice wtf =|

[QUOTE=NemesisDivina;15360589]first Krohm album is awfully boring... is the new one any better?[/QUOTE]

The one song I heard from it was quit good, it had a really eerie and cool atmosphere and good vocals.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15360592]Go with 7% or 97%[/QUOTE]

:p

Nah, I don't give everything high ratings. The only reason most of the releases UI've reviewed so far are in the 90's, is because I haven't bothered yet reviewing other albums. I've only reviewed some of my favorite releases.

I saw someone give a rating in the 90's, to sometihng he described in the title as "generic, but very good" ...or sometihng along those lines. I was like wtf

MA reviews are pretty much all stupid, it is either really high or really low, people don't really grasp that a 20%=1/5

I didn't like the Krohm, sadly. I thought I would, but the vocals to me sucked and the instrumental aspect boried me.

I wasn't implying you over/underrate things, but pretty much every rating on M-A is either 7 or 97

I'll still listen to it since I enjoyed that sample track.

Can any1 recomend sum fantasy, folk, magic, tree or troll metal?

Have you heard Summoning?
