Maybe. Possibly.] Another song that I should like a lot more than I actually do. This type of mild metal that feels more like rock than metal is very much my style of music, I think I like whatever story is being told here (it sounds interesting at least), and there are some good lines here (I wouldn't say "drained the blood from the Devil's throat" is my favorite line, but it's certainly memorable and evocative) but I never get into the story as much as I'd like to. It reminds me of another song from last topic that I'm pretty sure you nominated, as it's the same general style of song and I had roughly the same reaction to. Give me a sec to find its name... rummaging through archives Ah, "The Spark of the Archon", one of Ark's nominations actually. Sorry about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfo4fFLKfdo" data-time=" ...Wow these songs are nothing alike now that I'm listening to this again. </.< Well, either way, they're both in that general "progressive songs telling stories I don't get fully drawn into" vibe. Archon is far more experimental and weird, but... well no, no, I can't actually connect to these two songs together, so this detour was pointless. [Final Thoughts: I love the start of the Outro, at around 4:38-ish. That low guitar note, all drawn out and reverb-y, as the song quiets down... so wonderful... then the song proceeds to not end and ramps back up in intensity, then repeats the same lyrics over and over in a loud booming voice. I certainly wouldn't call the rest of the outro bad, just...not where I'd hoped the song was going at that point. I went ahead and tried a pair of other songs from the album, Metatron & Paladin, and wasn't super excited by either of them. I'd say Zelos is definitely several pegs above those tracks.] ==================== =================== #115 [#154]: Name: Road to the Faire Origin: David Arkenstone Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dO7owOQAto" data-time=" Nominator: Shonen_Bat (3/8) (4.5, 6, 7) [Too happy and too classical for my tastes.

It's still a bit too old fashioned and "medieval faire" isn't exactly my first choice of ambiance, but it's a nice change of pace & the song perfectly exceeds at everything it wants to accomplish. ===================== --- A not very secret alt account for when Raetsel wants to be a pony <cite>Fluttershy_Pony posted [p:928381117] in Raetsel ra...
