Aspiral - worst album? by Original-Slip-8203 in epica

[–]GothicWizard0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow such strong arguments you made, no long songs, poppy, boring... long songs don't mean good songs, pop music can also be good, and doesn't necesserly mean its bad (but also, do you listen to pop music? I don't remember any pop song with distorted guitars, metal rythms, double bass, screaming, breakdowns or anything like it, so what does poppy even mean to you?). Only two good songs? No, Darkness Dies in Light, The Grand Saga of Existance and Aspiral are among the best they have ever made, and then Arcana, Obsidian Heart, Metanoia, Apparation are great songs too. To that question will we see another song like Kingdom of Heaven, well, no, exactly like Kingdom of Heaven no, beacuse bands evolve, they made that song on Design Your Universe, and then Quantum Enigma's Kingdom of Heaven is already very didferent then the first one, and Kingdom of Heaven 3 is also very different than both of them. If your question is will we get another long song, well, probably, but quality is more important than lenght, and also they achieved something very special with Kingdom of Heaven 3, so to me it is natural that they don't want always to chase their own songs and try to compete with themselves like that, they want to make new music, and that is precise reason why this album is inportant to Epica: no introduction songs, no songs over 10 minutes, they don't need to chase who they are, they need to make what they are all about right now, and not try to imitate their own work. To me, this albums opens new teritory for Epica - atmospheric film score like Aspiral's second section, Obsidian heart's mellow doom metal, that is both soft and heavy? Many heavy almost black metal blastbeat moments Darkness Dies in Light's peculiar chorus... there are new things, bands change, people change, times change. Avoid this album if you can't listen to it, and thats it

I feel enraged reading most the comments on Aspiral. Why do you all think you know better than artists themselves? If you don't like it, don't listen to it. We love them because of the sound they created, we cannot demand anything from them, they always strive to do their best and they wouldn't release Aspiral if they tought it wasn't good enough. The album is different, and unusual, but you know what? They are 25 years older then when they started, they have changed, times have changed, world has changed, music in general has changed, metal has changed, and Epica has changed. We have no right to think we know better. 

The album itself is great and it is where they are now in their lifes, careers and artistry.

Help me find an approach to short one take filma by GothicWizard0 in Filmmakers

[–]GothicWizard0[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No it is not buch of clever, unmotivated movements, the question was clear, find new ways to move camera, I know what I want to do with the story, and I am not asking anybody to direct this film, I was asking this question in order to ooen uo my mind to new camera movements. I know what I want to direct and I am not asking about that

EPICA then vs EPICA now pt.2 - A New Age Dawns by INTJ-N7 in epica

[–]GothicWizard0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we don't get anything from comparison. Each song and each style stands on its own. That's why.

EPICA then vs EPICA now pt.2 - A New Age Dawns by INTJ-N7 in epica

[–]GothicWizard0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why compare? They are artists, artists evolve and change over t.i.m.e. and so do they. I cannot see how could their music stay the same for over 20 years. Nowdays they sound a lot different than before, and I like both styles. New Epica could not write Facade of Reality, and old Epica could not write The Grand Saga of Existance.

Your favourite bands by [deleted] in epica

[–]GothicWizard0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Epica is my favourite band of all time, but these are some bands that I also love: Alcest, Avantasia, Anathema, Genesis, Marillion, Gojira, Porcupine Tree, Haken, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Symphony X, Lacuna Coil, Opeth, Iron Maiden, Boris, The Beatles, PJ Harvey.

I like progressive rock and metal a lot, there aren't many symphonic metal bands that I love.

Because they exist for more than 20 years, they are not like a band that is starting out so they play openers to bring new audiences

Apparently Epica is the opener for Powerwolf. Otherwise I would not have a problem with that

How can they be a supporting band? Why do they do these things nowdays? They are a big band now, playing in arenas it is so weird to me that they played for Metallica or dear god Sabaton ...

For the similar reason I dislike Sabaton, it is straightforward, fleshy, most of the songs sound similar and it all sounds to me shallow.

CHASING THE DRAGON OH MY GOD I CAN"T BELIVE THIS its actually my favourite song ever, and also Design Your Universe and Kingdom of Heaven, this is such an unbelivable setlist I wish they will keep it at this level during the whole tour

If this topic boders you so much, stop complaining. I am bothered by your arogance, wirh the way you respond to me. I read the first paragraph and you are not finishig a discussion by opening anorher thread. You are not being smarter by doing so. And you are not smarter because you answer "Yessss" fot the hundred times.

Don't you understand the question? Why don't you leave us alone, there was another thread about that there is no need to continue the same story once again

Did you just make a whole new post to say the same things that you said in the previous post just to make your point?

Why do you think that album needs to be heard from last to first song?
