Born of Osiris MegaThread! - All things BoO

[NovaReaper]

That's absolutely and utterly ridiculous.

is it though?

 

[Wings of Obsidian]

I'm thinking about shaving the sides of my head so I can look like Lee in the "Machine" video...

 

[Joose]

is it though?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Just listened to "mindful". that intro...

no. just no.

I like it. It reminds me of Rammstein a little.

Sturgis man......Sturgis.....his influence on the album in undeniable. The overuse of electronica elements...

This is almost as bad as Oceano using electronica elements and clean vocals now..... (I expected that shit back when they used to work with Sturgis...)

As stated before, he only mixed and mastered the album. He played no role in producing AFAIK. Though, Nick is very heavily influenced by Joey, so I guess you could say that he had an influence

Honestly, I didn't even want to like the album after hearing Machine for the first time, but honestly, I love it (save for Divergency, Mindful, Exhilirate, and Aeon III). I think it's a good representation of what TNR would have sounded like if they had as much experience as they do now, back then.

I think it is an okayish album. It's something to listen whilst driving and in between breaks of BTBAM and Rush.

Respect anything that is done by fellow musicians, whether you like or not

I saw Cam comment on Facebook saying " I wrote Vengeance, Source Field, Imaginary Condition, The Origin and Absolution"

Listening to the album for the second time.


Mindful and Exhilarate...........no. NO

 

[thebass444]

My first two listens through the album I wasn't really enjoying it anywhere near as much as I enjoyed The Discovery and A Higher Place (I really loved this album and I don't understand why they don't play more of it live).

Tried listening a third time today... still not enjoying it too much. I'll try again once more, but I really don't want myself to force myself to like the whole thing. Nonetheless there are three or four songs I would put on a playlist that I often listen to.

Exhilarate has some pretty sick riffing. I'm finding I put it on that track more than the rest; today at least. Who knows what it will be tomorrow.

Listening to the album for the second time.


Mindful and Exhilarate...........no. NO

Sure you don't mean Mindful and Absolution? I still don't have my hard copy, but it seems the leak mixed Exhilarate and Absolution up. Exhilarate is fcuking sweet. Absolution, I could really do without the upbeat, "After The Burial Rareform-era" happy riffing. As for Mindful... I rock that track a lot too. I think it's great.

I should go back and edit my posts where I ripped on Absolution, but kept calling it Exhilarate. If only I knew!

Mine appears to be correct.






Both of them have the awful clean-ish singing. It sounds kinda alright on Exhilarate, but Mindful...........

 

[Joose]

I don't mind the "need to take a step back" parts on Exhilarate, and I think I've been too busy headbanging to Mindful to notice the singing. Honestly can't hear it in my head.

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

The clean singing is the only thing that kept my interest up for the album. Glad it did since the last few songs are way better than the first few.

 

[heregoesnothing]

I think this album is a grower for me.

Yeah, because hairstyles are sooooooooo important in metal.

 

[bhakan]

I think the album is OK. It isn't as good as the Discovery, but it isn't bad. I like the clean singing, and there are a couple really good songs (The Illusionist for example), and a couple songs that are pretty meh.

You know, I'm really not sure what you're about. Almost everything you post teeters on the edge of moronic and trolling. Dunno which it is. I think this particular post leans more toward the trolling side.



Edit: Also, I was hanging out with a friend of mine last night and he was talking about, in his opinion, the lack of structure this album has. I disagree, very much. But then he switched his iPod over to Norma Jean. Ok...?

How does David's hair affect you in any way?

Just shut the hell up.

OT: I still haven't listened to the album. Trying to avoid any torrenting as of late, so I have to buy a few albums tomorrow. I have a feeling it's way less bad than everyone is making it out to be. Negative hype for the sake of edginess.
