Anathema- Weather Systems

Anathema- Judgement 

Lacuna Coil- Comalies

 

These two bands are incredible. But listening to classic Lacuna Coil, I find their current direction drifting us apart. Gosh, I miss the heady atmosphere and layers of synths,  but most of all, I miss the vocal interplay and harmonising Andrea and Cristina used to do. 

 

The way they alternate vocals now is very metalcore like: screamed verses, soaring choruses, bland lyrics about rising above and being fierce...

 

That's where I now appreciate the hate for Comalies XX. The band is fading for me. Its kinda bittersweet, but that's how it goes.

 

Listening to Anathema- Weather Systems, with the harmonised male female vocals and atmospherics and ambience...this is more Lacuna Coil like than Lacuna Coil.

 

Oh well.

Echoes Silence.....(7/10)

Wasting Light (6/10)

 

I thought the new album might bring me in (even that's losing me ALREADY) but no I still find them soulless.  Sorry if that's harsh but honestly i wish i felt more.  When somebody throws the corporate rock label about (i HATE that label BTW) i just see Dave's face.

Love Grohl as a person, but Foos have never moved me in the slightest.

I know that I am in a huge minority, but I think this album is a classic.  Laid the groundwork for DSOTM.

I listen to this more than The Wall and Animals combined. I love it!

🤔 German isn’t too dissimilar to English.

In fact English is classed as

a ‘ Germanic Language ‘  :yes:

If I were you, with your love of several German artists ( kudos 😎)

I’d seriously consider learning a bit which would enhance your enjoyment levels even more 🙂

 

 

Makes sense thats its a Germanic language - I believe the Saxons came to England from Germany (correct me if I am wrong on that) and old English is very similar to German.

 

I really should learn German  - given the amount of German music I have been listening to its a shock I have not started to.  Truthfully, every so often I hear a word in a song and I am like "o - I know that word, its part of the English language"

 

Thanks for the suggestion!!!

Avenged Sevenfold- Life Is But A Dream...

 

Well...its an album...with music on it...the band did things, new things, things that are definitely amongst the choices they made. I can say that it is a new release, and it has been listened to by fans, and it's definitely going to be something people remember in years to come. Why? Well, because when people think of 2023...they will go "oh yes, the year an album came out", and this is definitely that.
