This is pretty bad

if you have terrible taste in music i can understand that statement, sure
but if you have the "ears to hear", so to speak... well, then you'd surely make a different statement.

perhaps the problem isn't with the album, perhaps the problem is with your ears

SOTS is still excellent though tbh.

I mean, it's consistent, polished, mainstream melodeath. There's a lot to like about it. It just pales in comparison to their first two albums which are not of this world
|
| |
Yeah I am just not as much of a fan of melodeath but as far as melodeath goes, it's a winner.
|

Gardens of Grief also rules.
|
| |
this is the only AtG album I ever really listen to

"I mean, it's consistent, polished, mainstream melodeath. There's a lot to like about it. It just pales in comparison to their first two albums which are not of this world"
Yeah, I mean, I know a lot of people hate SotS with a passion, but I think it's effective at what it sets out to do. And I think the sound of that album is still way more vicious and the songs are still way more memorable than the bands that ripped that album off.
The first two AtG albums though (as well as the Gardens of Grief EP) are just so incredibly off kilter and have such a creeping sound, it really evokes a feeling of outright dread in the listener. I mean the riffs on this album...they are just "wrong". A riff shouldn't sound like some of the riffs on this album do. There are no reasons to create riffs that sound so horrifyingly spectral and otherworldly. Yet they did, and the results are magnificent. No other band has ever really copied what AtG did on this album or even on WFIKtBD for that matter. Why did bands copy SotS? Because despite all its strengths, it's easy to copy. Why didn't those bands copy TRitSiO or WFIKtBD? Because they're just unable to; the music on those albums is just something that could only be captured at one moment in time.

i don't hate it with a passion but where i listen to their first two records on a regular basis, there is little chance i will ever spin slaughter
it's an ok album but honestly, even cutting red in the sky and burning darkness out of the equation, there were better releases by their contemporaries in the same style
maybe i will dig it more one day for some reason
