While I'm always glad to see a positive review for FotD, I find it rather sad that it comes from a guy who submitted a 100% In Flames review at the same time.

yeah its fine if you like the album but 100% for any album is rediculous dont you think?? isnt it just plane stupidity to put any album ever at 100%

Give this man an amusing title. Do we currently have a Village Idiot?

I love guys that give huge ratings for album that are usually considered really shitty

CDs probably won't be sold in the US after the next 7-10 years due to excessive legal and illegal downloading. Europe and the UK probably have about 15-20 years before they cease production as well. The only places that will still sell said form of music will be Japan, Scandinavia, South America and Australia.

an odd thing from Grimdoom's profile:

Lyrically, the song is a rather clever way of describing the physical effects of Viagra and as such is perhaps the most apt song by a bunch of hoary old rockers ever. After all, if old Percy isn’t saying hello what’s wrong with a little encouragement?

Absolutely "rediculous" to think there could ever be a good album, yes. Certainly a telltale sign of unintelligent air traffic vehicles.

haha ok u got me there mate, and rightly so. I still belive 100% is a REDICULOUS rating for anything.

No wonder you named yourself that way and got that title...

Anyway, why is it RIDICULOUS to give a 100% to an album? 100% doesn't mean always mean "absolutely perfect and flawless." It could just be the best album, or one of the best albums, the reviewer has ever heard.

Thats just my opinion.....Am I allowed to say that I think its rediculous that somthing gets 100% on this website? Or is it just too offensive? I understand the spelling mistakes and how you guys dont enjoy it like my father didnt when I was in grade 4, but that statement there really isnt to much wrong with saying it.

It's not offensive, it's just strange and outlandish, and you barely even back it up with anything to convince us.

Get off it, I would think its pretty self-explanitory. But if you must, I was just stating that IMO 100% for any piece of art (especially a review of a piece) can never be percieved 100% by a large population. Therefore it is extremely misleading to give such a percenage to the thousands of people who will read such a thing.

Also, the fact that I didnt back up a statement like that up on a msg board is "strange" and "outlandish" seems a bit over the top. To me the words "strange" and "outlandish" would be someone sitting at their computer and racking up almost 6000 posts in just over 2 years...

However I will make recognition to your point in relation to the reviewer listening to one of the best albums a reviewer has ever herd. I understan some people feel such a a need to rubber stamp somthing with a special 100% as they feel it gives them some form of credibility but I dont agree.

From Dolf9271986's recent Seven Churches review:

"This is pump music. It's the type of music that makes you wanna down a keg of beer and jump off buildings. It's party music."

Not any party I've ever been to, but I'd be kinda impressed if someone threw it on.

Evoken are the type of band that sometimes you think that is so dark, evil and black that it may bring you bad luck just for listening to their albums. Curiously my mom died a few days after I listened to "Quietus" for the first time. That happened three months ago and right before the sad event I had this very feeling in mind. "Man... this is so evil.. so black that it must attract bad things". Sadly curious indeed.

This is an ode to death. The ultimate release from life through music.
Try listening to this album right after your mother's demise. You will feel like walking beside her through the paths of the dead. Crossing the gates of this world into the next.

Just make sure that there are no windows nearby.

This is actually true. I think Seven Churches sounds evil but kind of happy, for lack of a better term, at the same time.

"Spirited" might work as well.

I didn't think about that, but that is indeed a very good play on words!

Wrong thread. Oven Fodder is the place to post this.

It's like if the members of The Dillinger Escape Plan and the Wayans brothers gang-raped Cristina Scabbia and their collective seed manifested itself into one egg which produced a bastard child that was subsequently kidnapped and molested by the members of Cynic.

Brutal

Scorched is the only time I've ever been impressed by speed, granted I've heard live he must two hand the freaking THREE HUNDRED AND TEN BEAT PER MINUTE BLAST BEATS but even attempting to play such a song is commendable in itself.

I read that several times and I don't quite understand what it means.
