I just realized that this album is rated higher than Enter. That's insane.

I absolutely love 'The silent force', and have been greatly looking forward to this new one.
:D

.... I have it ordered, and expect it soon. :cool:

Gothic Metal band, with a female singer + male guest vocalist = zOMG THEY SUND LEIK EVANESESCNSNESENSE!!11111

Seriously, the only similarity between What Have You Done and Bring Me To Life is that they have a male guest vocalist.

So... which one of these should I listen to if I wanna give this outfit a go-round? Mother Earth is highest rated, but there are always second opinions, hmm?

Anything that shares a shelf with the latest pop/disco/rap crowdpleaser gets a premature NO in my book...

Enter is a whole other, and much better, story than the rest. More doomish metal. Mother Earth is quite nice too but eh.

Basically, Enter (the first one) is sort of doomy goth metal with some death growls. The second one (Mother Earth) is lighter, more melodic - no growls. The two newest are radio fodder crap.

I think Enter is pretty boring, Mother Earth is ok. Some good songs, some dull ones. So uh, Within Temptation aren't that good.

I still haven't heard the new one, but I think 'The silent force' is brilliant for what it is. I actually don't find it to be too radio friendly either... it's pure symphonic metal, heavy enough, with flawless vocals.
:wink:

... definitely is a lot different than 'Enter', and this description of the first 2 CDs is quite accurate imo.

Clint (and Radagast) has it right, I think. I haven't heard anything but the single off the new one, but I'm certainly in no rush to hear it on the basis of that pile of crap.

(I greatly enjoy WT myself.)

Someone fix my damn Emolicious account! I just got a PM! Hahaha.

Anyway, I was in Boston like two weeks ago and saw this album on "sale" for $23.99 on import. Pffft. I decided to go home and finally check this band out. (I dig the single, by the way.) So I downloaded everything.

I'm not sure what you people are smoking, but this new album, The Silent Whatever and Mother Earth are pretty much no different in style. I think this is a case of band popularity among turdly trendsters skewing opinion (when it comes to those suggesting they've changed, not those that simply think they suck). I just can't see how those three albums are any different. Obviously the new single is different because of Keith Caputo, but take him away—and take the the rest of the album—and you've got something that's not any different at all.

Enter, of course, is like early After Forever, so I can see the complaint there. But not with what came after.

Actually Ken is right, Mother Earth is even more mellow then the Silent Force and less metal.......actually I don't care of it that much but I dig Silent Force quite a bit.

People are just pissed others found out about them. But new Lacuna Coil still sucks for reasons totally unrelated to this......

Dont forget that Mother Earth is the soundtrack to any and all LARPing. Some great stuff, but over the top with the forests and spirits of earth and fairy dust theme. Kayla, really, check out The Cross and The Howling. I think Keith Caputo representing wasnt the best way to go about handling the prerelease for older fans.
