What's the rating if you're not stoned?

Got anything intelligent to say there, newbie?

Getting stoned makes all music much better.

I missed this review...
I have Ubi Secreta Colunt and it is above average.
Will check it out eventually
Good to see some doom 'round here.

A 68 for me. This is no where near a 95. And I'm a huge Funeral doom metal fan.

So that justifies it then? Piss off.

Fair enough, I'm not a big funeral doom metal fan, but this got to me somehow. It's so fucking powerfull.

You want justification? Funeral doom has to touch the soul deeply. It also requires excellent production and very strong melodies and by that I don't mean catchy by any sense of the word. This album is neither detailed enough nor does it have good production to reveal what sounds it may have hidden within the music. Funeral doom has to hit me like a massive wave of the ocean and drown me in its sublime melodies which this also does not possess. This album has moments of good quality music but it doesn't live up to the score it has been given at all. So much for your justification :lol:

To be quite frank with you I like civilized arguments. Although when it comes down to it Thoams doesn't have a strong argument about his score in this review, nor does he convince me to check out this album again. Very generic and uninspired writing on this review, in my opinion, of course!

The reason I flipped was because you came off as a dick with that "... And I'm a big fan of Funeral Doom" bullshit that makesyou seem like a guy that thinks he's better than everyone else..Fact is that it's, it's poor and complete idiot reasoning for your score, and your second post was better.

In the review, I never claimed to have much knowledge of the genre, but this album single-handedly made me check out more funeral doom, and it made a huge impact on me when I first checked it out. I find that this has a lot of soul, and is pretty damn massive.

Dear friend, I suppose it's all a matter of perspective and a matter of perception in one's own eyes. This album didn't have any impact on me. What I meant to say by "I'm a huge funeral doom metal fan" was that I love that specific genre of music and keeping that in my mind, I didn't find this album good with what I have listened to until now in funeral doom metal; that is what I meant to say (I apologize for not conveying my point clear enough). And I'm sorry if I offended you in any way in my first post.

It's all good man, sorry for jumping at you

SilkCrimsonMoon · **Posted:** Mon Jun 20, 2011 12:17 am

It's all good, dude

I am a 'big fan of funeral doom' too, and you and I don't agree on a few albums.
