ColdFireYYZ Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I think I'll end up liking The Raven more than Grace overall, but its too early to tell. Right now I'd go with The Raven. Why didn't you include Insurgentes in the poll? Edited January 27, 2013 by ColdFireYYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Initially I like Raven more than I did Grave after my first few listens, but as I listen to The Raven more, the gap between the two narrows. I really can't rank either yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't you include Insurgentes in the poll? In short: bias. Didn't think that would be anyone's favorite, and even if it was, I'm just interested in Grace vs Raven.

darth by tor Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 How come you guys are bigging up The Raven That Refused to Sing? I didn't think it was out 'till the end of Feb.You are correct, its been leaked and its jaw dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 OK, I think I have this right: 1. Luminol2. Raven that Refused to Sing3. Drive Home4. The Pin Drop5. The Watchmaker6. The Holy Drinker The Holy Drinker isn't pretty, I like the chorus and think it's really fun, but the rest of the song is too heavy I guess... Don't appreciate the key use all that much here either. The rest of the songs are masterpieces, The Watchmaker is a uniquely sad song, it's a song about lost love, but that was completely because of one's own fault... Just bad feelings are conveyed in this song in every possible way. Maybe it's just because I've been in a relationship for about two years now and I realize things are a lot different than they were in the first few months But still, Grace for Drowning is a double album, a lot of content there. The album is what got me into SW and recently PT entirely...Perhaps I could encapsulate GFD into one album so I can better compare? (order of appearance)1. Grace for Drowning2. Deform to Form a Star3. Postcard4. Remainder the Black Dog5. Index6. Track One7. Raider II I estimate that's about 56 minutes long, fair against the 54 minutes of Raven. Still hard to say...

adace1 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'll go with Raven for now though it's a pretty tough call. Both are phenomenal albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive Home5. The Pin Drop6. The Watchmaker I have a feeling that The Watchmaker will move up over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't listen to the leak for Grace for Drowning and it was kind of overwhelming when it finally came (2 days after the release date). I was trying to focus fully on the music but I also wanted to browse through the photos/illustrations and lyrics in the deluxe edition. When The Raven comes out, I'll have the book to look through and it'll be a completely different experience than listening to the leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
