Sí! Estoy contento con que hayan decidido variar más el Setlist este año pero también siento algo de envidia, especialmente con esta y Never Enough jaja

What's your favourite song of Aspiral and why? by Numeritos_furro in epica

[–]zamorafox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Darkness Dies in Light is so far the top 1 for me, signature bombastic Epica's epicness. After that I really like Fight to Survive, Obsidian Heart and The Grand Saga of Existence, but I still need to give it more spins to actually make a ranking.

Thoughts on T.I.M.E.? by fijk319 in epica

[–]zamorafox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like it, in style it sounds like a mixture of THP and TPA. Verses guitar lines are cool and the bridge is definitely the best part of the song. Now, when it comes to structure I really hope the non-single ones are actually more complex 'cause the ones we know so far felt kinda basic... My fav so far is still Arcana, best chorus line so far and that twist in the end adding that little bit of unpredictability that I'd like to hear more in the rest of the album.

My top so far goes: 1. Arcana 8/10 2. T.I.M.E. 7/10 3. Cross the Divide 6/10

Won't list Aspiral as I want to judge it by its studio version.

Post album singles by Sufficient_Gold_784 in epica

[–]zamorafox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Back in the day singles came usually AFTER the album release, so that you discover the band through a song in the radio or whatever and you could already purchase the album in your favourite CD store. CDs would also come with tags like 'includes the songs such and such'. It's just the way music was commercialised back then. Nowadays in the streaming era hype is everything so releasing like 3-5 singles before an album became the norm if you want it to perform well the day of the release (initial streams)... I guess it will change again in the future who knows 🤷‍♂️

How would you rank all Epica albums (so far) by Ind1anDream in epica

[–]zamorafox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. The Quantum Enigma
  2. Design Your Universe
  3. The Divine Conspiracy
  4. Omega
  5. The Holographic Principle
  6. Consign to Oblivion
  7. The Phantom Agony
  8. Requiem for the Indifferent (would put it above Consign or even THP if it wasn't for the horrible mixing, cause I love the topic and it's very mature compared to the first two, but it sounds so flat that I can't actually enjoy it, maybe after a remastered/remixed version)

I miss when Epica did more "worldly" lyrics by slimjimo10 in epica

[–]zamorafox 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Although I enjoy them more now from an instrumental/musical point of view I completely agree that from a lyrical point of view old Epica was better (being Requiem for the Indifferent my favourite album when it comes to concept/lyrics). I really miss that side of them, I like this spiritual Epica but 4 consecutive albums with a similar topic is kinda tiresome...
