| NFUN 09/10/21 5:31:26 PM #72: | Bane_Of_Despair posted... hmmmmm there are a few choices I wanted to go with but I'll just go with this for nowWell... at least this singing isn't growling! My hair is long enough to headbang now, but it's hard to get into that state of mind on a nice holiday day off. I can kind of detach myself and imagine how cool this would be to listen to at a concert, in an environment when I'm hyped. And, what I was originally going to say before I got distracted by the vocals was that me and Bane's taste don't necessarily heavily overlap, but his tastes and knowledge is broad enough that he'll have music I like always onhand. The instrumentals are great in the first song, and my issue with the singing is basically a mood thing, as opposed to actually finding them distasteful. Although I can't help but laugh whenever they first come on in a given song. Especially the second. Even you can admit they're a little overdone there... ...This is really exhausting to listen through. By track 3 I'm starting to hunker down and isolate myself from the music, and I can't focus on it in critical detail any longer. I made it through, but I'm not relistening to this. As I said, I'd be happier with the vocals in a more appropriate mood, however, even then I'd get overwhelmed before too long. This album is just Too Much, the first in this ranking where I find the whole much lower than the sum of its parts. Sorry bane. I consider Gallery of Sleep the winner in my heart.
