 Topic: Unexpect´s Fables of the sleepless empire
Posted: July 11 2011 at 14:16 |
I think it´s a pretty damn good album, maybe even better than In a flesh acquiarium. Only thing, I´m not crazy about the "sound" of it, the mixing particulary, I can´t seam to fully hear every instrument as good as in IAFA, or did I just downloaded a way too comprossed copy?
Anyway, please vote

Equals or better IAFA. Masterpiece of avant metal.
It's a small genre, but this may be the best album in that narrow window.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

8 out of 10, excellent. The music is brilliant but after 20 minutes it gets tiring; my own enjoyment I'd rate as a 7/10 because of this.

A 7/10.
It's nothing something I enjoy listening to often, but when I do it makes a refreshing change.

It's a act of God, i mean the Devils playing with God by mixing things like creating something new with some old instruments. It's taking the melody were it never have gone before. If you listen closely it's not a band, it's 2 bands playing two songs at the same time. The devil is the man's vocals and God is the female vocals to create the battle of the bad and the good on the obscure ground of life were everything is much deeper than what we think. It's a deconstruction display of all that we have learned in the history of mankind.

I haven't heard it so maybe I can't judge, but surely you exaggerate.

I'm currently listening to the album with the lyrics in front of me, and I just have to say you're not too far wrong. I'm not sure that the male voice always represents evil and the female good, though. Maybe a 10...

8/10. I feel like the songs in the beginning are considerably better than the ones in the back. Everything after the break of "In The Mind Of The Last Whale" just seems a bit worse. Probably would rate the first part a 9 and then the second a 7...hence the 8.

I've only listened to it once so will abstain from voting for the time being, but I don't fully understand the meaning of "I wouldn't kiss my mother over it." (option 5)
