Are you that ugly chick in your signature? Cause that would explain a lot.

Which, I dunno, you may very well be into, using the word "epic" and all
Oh, I get it...if you don't like it you will lump in a totally random shitty band to compare it to.
I will admit some of the songs on the album, the synths may be a little too loud in the mix. You really didn't need to get all Anus.com on us, as I'm sure none of us care.

I like every song on it, thus why I deem it as a masterpiece. Sorry it's too gay for you.

Speaking of gay, is that a man trying to be a woman in your sig? Is that you? Just genuinely curious.

The comparison is apropos; both use keyboards as hooks to drive their songs. The perceived quality of any band speaks for itself.

My bad. I was under the impression you actually talked about music on a forum. Don't worry, I've been taking notes on De Brofundis scathing 2000px image macros. I've much to learn.

You seem pretty hung up on this. Quoting the parts admitting your possible gayness before you edit it out.

Your ears are pretty shitty if the only thing you can make out of an Anthems track are blaring keys. Comparing it to CoB confirms.

Welcome to SMN forums, bro.

Cool, then it's confirmed. And in the vein of De Profundis

The curious thing being, why you use the word gay to demean something if you are gay yourself. Also to clarify, I'm not gonna bash you for being a tranny or anything.

I hate to throw big "Anus.com" terms at you, but you've heard of this artistic term called a "focal point", right? Yes, other instruments are audible, but the emphasis is clearly on one.

There you go again with that word. Is my perceived gayness like a thinly guised vehicle for you to discuss your own gayness? Am I your proverbial Mini Convertible?

I guess to you, it is. I happen to listen to everything going on in the song. If I just 'focused' on the keys, I probably wouldn't like it, either.

To me? Listen to The Curse and Loss of Reverence about a minute in. Instrumentally, the keyboard is the only instrument with any dynamic narrative. This is to say nothing of their presence in the mix. Hell, even Ihsahn's vocals take a backseat.

If your argument is, "why don't you focus on the other instruments", that'd be different. But it's like you're trying to tell me Rob Halford is like a minor component in Judas Priest; it's flat out disingenuous.

Yeah, I know how the song goes and it sounds great to me. I get it, you despise "faggy Children Of Bodom [insert random metal band with synths here] synths" I can point out numerous sections of songs that OTHER instruments have 'dynamic narrative', too. You want to mention predominantly saturated synths albums, try Limbonic Art's Moon in the Scorpio or In Abhorrence In Dementia (which are both sick as hell)

you WOULD use Rob Halford as an example .

wow are you insecure about what you like or what. Yeah we got it you are a true evil black metal bitch with the right opinions and street creds, never straying from the herd. Everything different is gay or shit, especially synth!!!!!!!! Emperor like dimmy borgir hhahahahahaaa thats just so retarded

You do understand that IX and Prometheus went even further in complexity as earlier emperor. Hardly dumbing down or going to a dimmu style and using dumb synth melodies as focal points jeez.

In The Nightside Eclipse is my least favorite Emperor album, and for the record I hate Dimmu Borgir

Synths are key parts of albums I enjoy--Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, Heart of the Ages, The Voice of Steel, Somewhere in Time, Dark Tranquillity stuff, Type O Negative stuff. That doesn't mean I want to be beaten over the head with a Casio.

Oh god, this argument. Yes, there a lot more Z0mG Tiem Sigzzzz d00d and needley squeedlies on these albums; that does not mean they have more intrinsic value. It just means they aren't afraid of using technical theatrics to confirm their musicianship.

i'm (partially) with the tranny on this one. ITNE is by faaaaaaar the best thing Emperor did and (although i like them) the cheese on their later albums borders the unbearable to me. although i don't think they sound anything like the CoB "synths" that literally sound like my old casio watch alarm.

but the dicksucking ihsahn gets on this forum is hilarious. i bet that if he released Illud Divinum InsANUS, it would be hailed as a masterpiece on here. carry on, faggots

Fucking lol at the unreflected Dimmu hate here and everywhere. They were a great band, and they have a distinctive and coherent style. Can't really say that of Prometheus, it's a great album, but it's far from flawless, for me a typical example of avantgarde-efforts paying their tolls to coherency and having the usual trying-hard-to-be-avantgarde elements which easily resolve into cheesiness.
