Don't you just love getting shat on for having an opinion?

I like this album alot, but then again its the only Ephel Duath album I've heard. Need to change that soon.

People going on about how I've got it completely wrong make me insecure because then I start to think "hmm, maybe if I listen a couple more times it will grow on me and I'll end up agreeing with them"... But to me there isn't really all that much there. Style over substance, so to speak.

my favourite part of this album is how it's so messed up and all over the place but also makes perfect sense and flow really well. it reminds me of Meshuggah's Catch33 in that it doesn't feel like a metal album; it's more a psychedelic, scary journey. my strongest memory of it is after i got my new stereo set up, i decided PNtK would be a good album for starting it off with, so i covered up all the sources of light in my room and listened to it in the dark. good times.

i can see thinking it's style over substance though because they do go pretty far with the artsyness and it doesn't have much in the way of emotion or songs.

Fair play man, I probably was more antsy due to the fact that The Painter's Pallette was there and it hit the 90's. Noodles put it better than I could with the style/substance thing.
