I know this will be taken as "boutade" by most, but so far this is the frigging best album of this decade for me. My levels of addiction for a musical produce of any sort hadn't be so dangerously high from my very teen years.

Ya this rules, Justice for Saint Mary is definately something else. Definately the peak of their craft.

Wish this album was more jazz-based than the opener let on. Still epic as all hell though.

No where near as powerful as many of the songs on this. Also, I just can't get used to those vocals

Agreed the vocals weren't as good but I'm holding out for some more operatic pieces on the full album. And Choccy every album's gotta have one swing number, it's in their name!

I wouldn't mind their new album being more like this at all, rather than that 80s disco track they put out

This band's name is pretty ingenious, honestly. I find myself quite infatuated with DSO's sound. Guerrilla Laments is neat.

Yep I was pretty much laughing all the way through, especally at these nuggets of wisdom:



"Diablo Swing Orchestra’s style of swing relies heavily on a dance-oriented feel. This means, like with all dance music, that the primary point of the composition is to have listener focused on something other than the music. Since metal is not dance music, Pandora’s Piñata is existentially worthless. It cannot be danced to. It cannot be listened to. A monstrosity created by mixing different musical animals."



"But, given the band’s inherent lack of direction, you also have rows like the ostentatious “Aurora” and first five or so minutes of “Justice For Saint Mary” that pretend to be serious with its pseudo-classical approach by removing all pretenses of being metal (another sign that the band doesn’t take metal, or music, seriously.)"



"Pandora’s Piñata is the third full-length from this ill conceived gimmick, but it’s clear that the band was out of ideas immediately after the phrase “swing metal” was uttered."

I have yet to see a negative review on metallum that's even decent / acceptable. They're so fucking childish
