03.20.12 | didn't include The Last Vigil (the chill song) because ranking it with the others is like comparing apples to oranges
and yes, this had to be done |
MO
03.20.12 | yo the last vigil is awesome wtf!! |
Relinquished
03.20.12 | lol it's only been one day |
Aphrodisiac
03.20.12 | yo where is Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman? |
Killerhit
03.20.12 | It had to be? |
Ignimbrite
03.20.12 | first impressions. and The Last Vigil is awesome: it's just really hard to rank in the grand scheme of the album because of how different it is from the others |
cagedescending
03.20.12 | #1 is correct |
Ignimbrite
03.20.12 | yes, it had to be. it was either this or some stupid person doing it first and making a really dumb ranking |
MO
03.20.12 | nope 2 is 1 motherfuckdinks |
Relinquished
03.20.12 | ^^^^^ |
VinVal
03.20.12 | 1 and 3 interchangeably as well as 2 and 4 |
Ignimbrite
03.20.12 | it was close, but Demiurge has that one riff that goes "BWOOOOOM... DU DU DA DU DU DU DA DU DU DU DU DU DAAAAAAA" and so on |
Aphrodisiac
03.20.12 | forever trust in who we are
no nothing else matters |
MO
03.20.12 | yea but 2 has an intro more ballsy than balls himself and reiminscent of the the mighty Nebulous, along with 2:27-4:00, plateauing at 2:55 to crush your soul |
Ignimbrite
03.20.12 | I actually didn't dig the intro too much, but the second half is absolutely glorious |
MO
03.20.12 | but it's so slooooooow, headbang central |
Ignimbrite
03.20.12 | for slow headbang central I prefer Nebulous or that breakdown in Lethargica |
MO
03.20.12 | fuck yes |
BassDemon333
03.20.12 | The Hurt That Finds You First and Demiurge are so fucking good. The Last Vigil serves as a great outro to the album. |
Relinquished
03.20.12 | yeah just like Obsidian |
BassDemon333
03.20.12 | Obsidian is so underrated, one of my favorite songs off Nothing. Especially the remaster, love the intro riff so much. |
Ignimbrite
03.20.12 | I still don't love Nothing as a whole, but everyone else seems to so idk |
Yazz_Flute
03.20.12 | Nothing is kinda shitty 2/5
Also 8 is easily the worst song. |
Ignimbrite
03.20.12 | nah 9 is worse. 8 has grown on me |

03.20.12 | "Especially the remaster, love the intro riff so much."
I really dislike the entire remastered album |
taylormemer
03.20.12 | Why? |

03.20.12 | "Nothing is kinda shitty 2/5"
haha |
coneren
03.20.12 | shit i just uploaded them to youtube for you |
Deviant.
03.20.12 | "Why?"
Maybe if I didn't have the comparison (if the remaster was the only version for example) then I'd probably enjoy it more. Just not a fan of the mix, and how the guitars virtually override everything else. Haake, for example, just sounds really low and almost lost in the mix |
Yazz_Flute
03.20.12 | After two listens I'd say:
The Demon's Name is Surveillance
The Hurt That Finds You First
Demiurge
Behind the Sun
Do Not Look Down
Swarm
Marrow
I Am Colossus
Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave it Motion
|
Ignimbrite
03.20.12 | I agree, bu the original is so muddy (in a bad way imo)... idk, one of my biggest issues with Nothing is that I have issues with both mixes |
Yazz_Flute
03.20.12 | yeah fuck that album |
BassDemon333
03.20.12 | The fact that the guitars override everything in the mix is pretty much why I like it so much. Even though I love Haake and his drum work is fucking awesome but the new guitar sound on the remaster makes everything sound so much more massive |

Ok, so firstly, it's not a remaster, its a complete re-recording.
Secondly, it's hardly surprising that the guitars are much more full, because this was the exact same time Ibanez went, "hey bros, we finally managed to make you an eight string that stays in tune and doesn't sound like shit flying through a forest".
And finally, I just disagree with the notion that Haake is lost amongst them. On the original, there's barely any guitars, on the re-recording, its massive. Plus Haake's anti-decay snare sound is perfect and just cuts right through. Because the guitars lower, by a 4th, there is some clashing with the kick, but it's hardly detrimental.

03.20.12 | Yeah my bad, it's not a remaster. And yeah I understand why it sounds like that, I just don't like it |
auberginedreams
03.20.12 | this band has the most annoying vocals. |
MO
03.20.12 | 5 CTTS. I mean I don't mean to be a dork about that band, but holy fuck you complain about vocals being a sore point and just luuurvvvee CTTS? I'm listening to a song called non-objective something, and it sort of caught me during the almost 4 minutes of nice guitar, then the VOCALS kick in and make it total shit. |

03.20.12 | Album rules. |

03.20.12 | idk, i love the vocals in ctts. |

03.20.12 | Holy shit, Demiurge is MASSIVE!
I'm seriously loving this at the moment |
jimmykidd
03.20.12 | Demiurge! hoooooly fuck. seriously the whole thing is ridiculously incredible. DO WANT FLAC. |
Dimor
03.20.12 | List is pretty much spot on to my ratings, except i wouldve switched Marrow and THTFYF. Demiurge sure is massive, and clearly the albums high point so far. I love how the snare sounds like a frickin gunshot, its like being shot in the head about 500 times, but fun. |
Palimpsest
03.20.12 | You really should have included The Last Vigil. It's one of the most haunting things I've ever heard. Different or not, it was on the album. |
Ignimbrite
03.20.12 | but it's still impossible to rank it next to the other tracks. |
Firestarter
03.20.12 | Pretty much agree with this ranking. Interesting that the songs they previewed are the 3 worst songs on the album |
Relinquished
03.20.12 | that's the marketing lower the expectations and then BOOM awesome album |
