This is not really a L/F Album post, but rather a "Hey, let me put something up that MAY interest you, something that, at first listen, you'll hate but might just grow on you after a couple listens even though it features someone/something you don't really like."

 

So, you'll start listening and you'll feel like:

 

 

 

But let me tell you something.....

 

Even though it features a bit of                                                                                                    

 

 

and you'll wish it all would go away and maybe end like this

 

I think you should still listen or something like this might happen:

 

 

Well, that's out of the way then, call it a kind of warning of what you're getting into.

 

Again, these are NOT lost or forgotten albums (go ahead and say it) but I'm ding something a bit different this week, just because I can.

 

What we have here is failure to...wait, what?

 

Yeah.

 

Ok. It's symphonic death progressive metal. There. It's out of the bag.   

 

We've got ourselves "Deliverance" from 2002 and "Damnation" from 2003. Same band, two totally different styles. Supposedly this was supposed to be one giant mega-album, but the record company geeks put a kibosh on it.

 

Yes, there are vocal styling from our lovable furry friend pictured above. Yes, you'll probably hate it just because of CM. No, you can't bypass listening this week, cause there's some stuff that'll surprise you.

 

Think of the CM vocals as just another instrument. If it really bugs you (and it's really not prevalent as you'll notice after giving the first album a listen) just listen to the melodies. Listen with headphones. Just block out CM and you'll be impressed. If not, than your soul is dead.

 

Oops, sorry about that last sentence. This type of music makes me feel froggy.  

 

"Deliverance" is a heavy album while "Damnation" is much more laid back (nope, no CM vocals here!). Would be kind of fun to make your own mix of both albums, try to blend each song into the other.

 

I'm thinking that "Damnation" is a fine, fine album to lull your child to sleep.Just pop that sucker in and hit "repeat" and have it running through his subconscious all night long.

 

Then, when he wakes up, he might just look like this:

 

 

Or not?

 

 

Deliverance

1. Wreath

2. Deliverance

3. A Fair Judgement

4. For Absent Friends

5. Master's Apprentice

6. By The Pain I See In Others

 

Damnation

2. In My Time Of Need

3. Death Whispered A Lullaby

4. Closure

5. Hope Leaves

6. To Rid The Disease

7. Ending Credits

8. Weakness

Availability: Each around $10.

You sold this to me. That was funny. I'm gonna listen, but I think, I have the same feeling about CM-vocals as Scott. We'll see tomorrow, when I'll listen.

I think, I've heard MSoTW before, and I like it. Hmmmm.....it's ehh......no, who give's a s...! MSoTW Man will have this nailed faster than the speed of light.

I'll take the one on the left!!!

[RJhog (Admin)]

Then I must take the 2 on the right!!!

[RJhog (Admin)]

Pity Jon, you should make friends with MSoTW Man.

 

Often, he wants to befriend Mysomama.

 

Several times he's offered the Olive Branch.

 

 

If you want to reach a truce.

 

Tell him.

 

Forever the two entities can live in peace.

That "pains" me...

[Jon]

So, where did you pick up this album? Salvation Army?

[RJhog (Admin)]

Close.  I got this one at Good Will.  But I was at The Salvation Army just this weekend, in the flesh.

[Jon]

You know you're digging yourself a nice, deep hole....

 

[Scott]

OK OK, I'll listen....  and by the way, The Sisters Corr are hot!!!

 

Long Live MSOTWman!!!!

[Niels (Mod)]

I do NOT like, what I hear. Sorry, I can't listen to this. I'll get a headache, each time he tries to..eh.."sing". Some of the music sounds okay....hey, he actually starts to SING, 2 minutes into the title-track, but then it's back to CM.

"Think of the CM vocals as just another instrument". What instrument? Nails on a blackboard?? 

Why the hell do they ruin the music with those crappy vocals, when "they" actually CAN sing???? I don't get it. 

Hmmmm, I'm on track 3 now, and they are singing fine, and it's nice and easy listening. Some of the guitars sounds like Iron Maiden, but I think, it's a bit booring, when they are "quiet".  Naah, I don't like this.

Overall it's a "Thumbs down" from me. 

[Jon]

It ain't done yet...

[Niels (Mod)]

What ain't done yet. The coffee???

Even though the Damnation part was very quiet and overall a nice listening, I did'nt really like it.
