I'd like to think you are going back to basics. With experience, you know which parts aren't really needed
Please, someone, tell Tuomas from Nightwish to look at Redcarmoose's process. The new record didn't speak to me personally at all. Tuomas doesn't have 30 years between records to spare though.
She is indeed. The album has this pirate/folk feel to it. And her voice, you just sing along! The songs have some repeating chord progression quirks which make them maybe a bit predictable. That might be a signature of Arjen Lucassen (the Ayreon guy) who wrote them. I haven't listened to his previous work but this is refreshing.
Anyone knows if there is an Insomnium record that sounds better on vinyl than the normal CD? I love this band so much and wish I could enjoy their songs with the sound they deserve. I´m especially eager about Above the Weeping World

I streamed on Spotify on my Sonos speakers in the kitchen this morning before work. Long album! No metal to speak of. It really is a folk/pop rock album. Reminds me just a bit of Lorena Mckinnet but obviously not Irish-Dutch?
I like indie folk. But this is different. I guess the European influence vs the more Dylan inspired roots music I'm more familiar with in American folk rock.
I'm guessing this must be similar to European folk pop that we don't hear that much on this side of the pond. Of Monsters and Men would be a reference point for me. But, nothing like them. This has more of a soft rock folksy vibe. Nice listen. She could pretty much sing out of a phone book as far as I'm concerned.
Starting in maybe 2010, I became amazed at just how many metal releases were coming out every year. The albums now came from all over the world. Russia was making Goregrind and Black Metal like it was the 1990s again. South America was making Black Metal. We had a one world of metal all of a sudden. All bands could play. The level of what it took to be known just went up a notch and you still had great albums coming from the old great bands. Needless to say it was very hard to grasp. Like having 4 girlfriends all in love with you, you had a problem and felt you may be missing something.
We still have all the music from the last 5 years that I promise no one has ever scratched the surface of.
Maybe should check it out. I felt like they started repeating themselves after Night at the Opera. They just seemed to be on repeat cycle without a whole lot of inspiration. But, maybe they reached a point of being able to do only so much with their genre. Imaginations, Twilight on Middle Earth, Tales from the Twilight World-that's where it was at for me w/ them....some of the best PM I've ever enjoyed.
Blind Guardian has only released two albums I have ever enjoyed. This was not one of them.
Blind Guardian isn't something I would associate with quality, personally. I'd associate them with consistency, and mediocrity, in that they're consistently mediocre.

I like Blind Guardian as each of their albums gives me the fist pumping power metal candy that I want. I don't like them because they are special or whatever. That being said, I think their new one is pretty good and deserves AMG's runner up status.
