At the Gates

[Mort Divine]

It's not that Slaughter is a bad album, but it simply isn't up to par with what At The Gates was before that. It's more or less recommended that he gets the first four releases before considering Slaughter.

Nah, it IS that it is a bad album.

 

[CAIRATH]

Not really.

Anyway, in answer to the topic: Red in the Sky, obviously.

 

[Death Aflame]

No, SotS is pretty much a steaming pile of shit

 

[The Ozzman]

Not really.

 

[Mort Divine]

Yeah really.

SotS gets old after a while, but its enjoyable. Memorable riffs, aggressive in nature, same passion of old AtG, without the thought put into the composition (thus its somewhat repetitive nature). Its main weakness is it becomes somewhat redundant when compared to the first 3 I mentioned, but as I am alluding to, its worth the listen.

.. slaughter of the soul is amazing

What is with the hostility towards that album? Frankly, it's my personal favorite. I feel like it gets a lot of hate for not being tr00 enough (i.e. you can hear every instrument). I think Slaughter of the Soul is their most well thought out album, and the songs have more structure. The songs on With Fear and Red In The Sky seem to just happen, not unlike early dark tranquility. It's utter chaos with relatively little evidence of conscious songwriting. Good stuff, but I think Slaughter is excellent. I really don't understand stuff like "SotS is pretty much a steaming pile of shit."

TRITSIO
Gardens of Grief
WFIKTBD
SoTS

to be honest, its all essential listening.

Except I would invert the list, but that's all personal choice...

You're a fag.

You're a fag.

Why is he a fag? Are AtG not tr00 enough so all their fans are fags?

No you fucking stupid shithead. I love old AtG. Slaughter of the Soul is a fucking crap album so I called that guy a fag for defending it.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

My bad. I thought you were calling him a fag for having different tastes than you. I stand corrected.
