I'm fine with not tracking all these down. I get a good LOL knowing that there are people out there that collect all the variants of literally any record.

AndrewNstuff Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Damn this album was a pretty big let down. My shipment from bullmoose hasn't arrived yet, but I've already started the refund process. Pretty weak release from Ghost kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only enjoyed maybe 3-4 of the songs when giving it two play thru's this morning. kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisr1984 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 i like the album quite a bit but the latter half of the record is definitely more on the mellow side. to me, the first two songs that were released and all the music used in the promo videos were a pretty good indicator of the direction this record was headed.

Around the 4:05 minute mark, that riff sounds very similar to the riff EVH is playing in Beat It before he busts into his ripper guitar solo. So have they officially made the “Satanic Thriller?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them earlier this month and dug the new stuff, Faith and Pro Memoria are early favs. Is that actually the inner sleeve?? Or is that the sleeve for the 7"?? For a minute I thought that was "Colossal – Brave The Elements". Artwork is so similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I listened to it once and will probably never revisit it again. This band has fallen off so hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanellos Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 3 instrumentals on a 10 song album (excluding cover tracks). The repetitive lyrics gimmick to be catchy gets old really quick. Faith, Witch Image, and Life Eternal are great though. Rats is my least favorite. Was hoping for the album to be "dark" like Tobias said in one of the interviews but this ain't what I expected coming off Meliora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Couple high points for me, couple lows. I don't go into a Ghost album expecting much so this fell right in line with my expectations. It's nice background music to have on while I'm studying or cleaning so I'll get some spins out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magickspells Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 So... I went ahead and picked up the FYE exclusive on my break today. I didn't like Meliora, but I'm willing to at least give this a listen on my stereo and see if I change my mind on it. I think it'll be better than Meliora. Also hoping this thing isn't warped too bad, cause it kinda looks a bit warped. I like the variant tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also posted the inner 12” sleeve, it’s that group photo that’s been making the rounds, lyrics on the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh honestly I thought the last record wasn't very good either so I am not surprised that I didn't like this. Their descent into pop music with a spooky gimmick is kind of wearing thin.

Le Gogh Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Personally I think the album is great, Witch Image and Life Eternal are particularly good. I'm not sure what people expected when you consider the direction each album has gradually steered towards. They've progressively got more mainstream. Each to their own though, we don't all enjoy the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museummouth Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Yeah, on repeated listens is not the best Ghost album but it stands with the rest of them. Unpopular opinions but Meliora is my fav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
