October 4th: My Arms, Your Hearse - Opeth
This one was suggested to me by Lopyt and I totally see why now. One of the songs I feel like I've heard a million times, like deja vu for songs or something I'm not sure. I think it was Track 6, "Demon of the Fall".
In all seriousness, though, I wasn't very fond of this album. Most of it felt like there were two settings: Soft guitar intro or d e a t h m e t a l and, while yes I do like those vocals and that doesn't really bother me, I feel like it was pretty boring all the way through. Sometimes I felt it was unnecessary, but most of the time it was just flat-out boring. The riffs and lyrics were very cool and interesting, but not when every song is almost the exact same.
My favorite song was probably the last one, Track 9 "Epilogue". This was very interesting to me and I really enjoyed this song. It felt just like a Pink Floyd song and fit perfectly with the positioning of the album, it really did feel like the entire album was just one big, long story and this was the grand ending to that. The riff at 2:25 of Track 9 was my favorite of the album.
Overall, I give this album a 3.5/5. It was very boring but it wasn't like they just slacked off and made a bad album either.
Tomorrow, I'll check out "Giving Birth to a Stone" by a small psychedelic band, Peach, which is the bassist of TOOL's previous band and has the original version of "You Lied" on it, of which I haven't listened to yet.
I added Guns' suggestion to October 20th, and I added Filter's "Short Bus" to the 19th. Also a band I found a while ago, Elder, has a really good album I was going to check out called "Lore". Added that to the 21st.
