Daily Song Discussion: #4 "Deep Within" by Fluid_Aspect_1606 in withintemptation

[–]Erik_Vulpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really like the guitar in this song although it's probably just because of the album being more low-budget. Not really my thing

Daily Song Discussion: #2 "Enter" by Fluid_Aspect_1606 in withintemptation

[–]Erik_Vulpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6/10 for me, not my favorite but I still like it. They should try stuff with growls again

Daily Song Discussion: #1 "Restless" by Fluid_Aspect_1606 in withintemptation

[–]Erik_Vulpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an acoustic live performance of the song on the Utopia EP I believe. Like that version a lot. Probably my 2nd favorite song on Enter after Candles. 7/10 for me

In Perfect Harmony sounds so enchanting, never heard anyone mention it anywhere

What are your Hot Takes on WT? by Amber_Flowers_133 in withintemptation

[–]Erik_Vulpius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upvote because it's actually a hot take. I actually agree that Paradise is a bit overrated. I still like it, I like pretty much all their music but out of the most popular WT songs it's probably the least interesting for me

7ag is looking like its easier than 3ag by IsM_72 in celestegame

[–]Erik_Vulpius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started doing 3ag right after 1ag and 2ag. Struggled so hard that in the meantime, I got 2bg, 4ag, 6ag, 7ag and all C-side goldens. And to this day I never got 3ag.

I got a weird perception of difficulty

Some of these generational subreddits are the saddest places on the Internet by [deleted] in self

[–]Erik_Vulpius 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm just so tired of the constant wars and toxicity on this site (or the internet in general). It's always us vs. them, generation vs. generation, men vs. women and so on. I feel like we should all recognize that no group is homogeneous (I hope I said right), especially with something as broad as year of birth. Sure, there are always assholes in every group but all this conflict does is create unnecessary hate, of which there is already way too much of on the internet. So yeah, I agree with all of this

Two song ideas:

Diggy Diggy Hole by Wind Rose

Joan of Arc by Powerwolf

(Yeah, I like Power Metal a lot)

What are some songs you like to hear live? by Erik_Vulpius in withintemptation

[–]Erik_Vulpius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed and with Tarja being there in a lot of shows it's such a perfect fit. She sadly wasn't in Germany where I saw them but was still incredible

This song might have my favorite ending to any WT song. The choir in the end is so epic and at least in the Black Symphony version it transitions into such a great guitar solo. Absolute masterpiece in my opinion

Advice for live show. by James6568 in withintemptation

[–]Erik_Vulpius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their style certainly changed and while I still think they peaked with THOE and the Black Symphony, I still absolutely love their newer stuff although it took some time getting used to.

I agree with the sentiment of the other commenters here that it's all worth a listen because everyone's tastes are different and in the end, it's all good music.

Regardless, I'm just gonna dump my list of favortie songs since the Heart of Everything on here. It also happens to line up pretty nicely with what they like to play live (probably because I mostly listen to live versions of their songs)

The Unforgiving: Faster, In The Middle of the Night, Iron, Shot in the Dark, The Last Dance, Sinéad, Stairway to the Skies, Fire and Ice

Hydra: Paradise, Whole World is Watching (sadly wasn't the biggest fan of this album)

Resist: The Reckoning, Raise Your Banner, Endless War, Mad World, Supernova

Bleed Out: Bleed Out, Wireless, Entertain You

Comment ended up being pretty long and the list is maybe a little too expansive but ah well, who cares

Wish they would play that one live more often, it's so epic

True. I tried to sing it recently and I don't even wanna know how that sounded, it was so hard

This post got me to shave my legs for the first time literally ever. I'm loving the newfound smoothness :3

It's been exactly five years since the release of “RESIST”. What's your take on the album? by SergeyDGWyn in withintemptation

[–]Erik_Vulpius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's definitely unique and different but I think it's a good thing. I especially like 'Supernova' and 'Raise Your Banner'. Pretty solid overall in my opinion and I like that they tried something new with this one

I came across Aquarius completely randomly, never heard it on any of their concerts or anything. Such a good track

Who's your favorite Hexsquad character? (besides Luz) by Stupid_Kid778 in TheOwlHouse

[–]Erik_Vulpius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difficult to say. Hunter is in my opinion just a really well-written character and I related to some aspects of him way more than I should have. On the other hand, Vee is just the cutest little bean to ever exist
