I'm the only one that thinks that this is overrated?

Nope

+1
I only find the first song interesting (even quite brilliant), but the rest is so boring, I can't sit through 3 minutes of it.

Dudes, this album is without doubt a doom masterpiece. If you can't sit through more than the first 3 minutes than you don't know doom metal.

Nah, man, I like a lot of Doom Metal. But I can't understand what is so good about this particular album. Sure, the first song is one of the best I've heard in this genre, but the rest are too much alike and offer nothing more. Basically, the entire album can be easily replaced with just the first song, IMO.

If I might ask... What doom bands do you like? Since you say you like a lot of doom. Sometimes it helps when people name the doom bands they do like to see where they are coming from.

Early Katatonia is my absolute number one, followed by Nortt, Funeral, Tales of Dark (very, very good Goth/Death Doom from Serbia), My Dying Bride, Thegrothon and my recent favorites, Esoteric and Arcana Colestia. There is more, but that would sum it up pretty well.

Mmm, I don't know Tales Of Dark, will have to check them out.
But seeing those other names (with My Dying bride I hope you mean old MDB and not the last two , same for Funeral btw.) I can udnerstand your problems with Warning.
You probably also have problems with most of Candlemass and other epic doom bands.

True about MDB, not so true about Funeral.
Yeah, I can't stand Candlemass other than a song or two from "Epicus...". Or other epic doom. But Warning strikes me slightly more like Funeral Doom than Epic, excluding the vocals.

I don't like Candlemass but this is brilliant!

Amazing album. Normally I don't listen to doom apart from Katatonias first records but this is a masterpiece. The only weak point for me is the lyrics (kind of gay to me) but they make absolutely sense along with the music.

Personally, I can't stand this album for the life of me. It just drags on and on and never does anything for me. It's just long, boring and fails to be epic. It's just nothing. It's not really heavy, it's not really epic, it never actually goes anywhere, and ultimately it completely fails to keep my attention and totally puts me to sleep.

Same problem that Solstice has at times but much, much worse (Solstice is actually quite good if you're in the mood despite sections that drag on for far to long without adding anything). A lot (I'd even dare to say most) of funeral doom also has this problem.

This album is IMO just a bunch of generic nothingness.

Wow, for some reason I had no idea these guys recorded more than a demo or two.

I've heard their Blessed by the Sabbath demo and love Nightmare Bride.

I'll have to see if CD World can order this one for me.

This review didn't really tell much about the album, But because it really sparks my interest I'm going to check it out.

Omg! This album is total crap. Worthless neverending repetitive boredom, hell i am sick while listening to it, unbelievable. Considering overall very high rating and recommendations, i must be missing something...
Isn't it just childish hour-long exercise of tonal progeressions?
At least I finally discovered something fully deserving "worst ever" rating.

They aren't thrash, buddy.

The debut, at least.

I take back everything I ever said about this album. Here, before you, my fellow MS members I eat my words with two pounds of shit. I must have been having some serious problems while listening to it for the first 10 times, but after that... a startling revelation. This is, indeed, a mesmerizing, crushing masterpiece. Just when you think that you'll drown in the sorrowful, thick distortion, Patrick comes in with his wailing vocals and pushes you down completely...
It still falls a bit short of my favorite Doom release, Dance of December Souls, but it's definitely up there with the best Doom I've heard.

That hilarious bitchfest/catfight he had on A Rose of the Apocalypse was pretty hard to miss.
Also, it reminded me a lot about that time THE_BLACK_GOD threw a similar all caps rage on jupitreas' review of My Dying Bride's For Lies I Sire. Boy, that was fun to read, we need more people like that 'round here.

Warning ! May contain explicit lyrics and contents. You've been warned



If youre sensible, dont have humour sense, then stop reading now!



You've been warned!



Still reading. Well curiosity killed the cat. SO if you still reading this you either love this album (which I cannot help, sorry) or you respect other peoples opinions, which is the most important.

If you do not like me proceed at your own risk, if not then read my true opinion free and feeled.


While I admit that the joke was "dry", that is exactly what I feel about this lp by warning (well at least they warned) . See? another dry joke. It flawless fits the album. Dry, boring, a complete childish whining.
Most boring stuff I've heard in years. This is my true vision of this musical disaster. The voice of this guy is just horrible, a skinned cat can be more melodious. Its laughable really.
And the speech is typical of a teen with his broken heart whining because Gina spreaded left him.. Buuuhhhh..: Look how pathethic that is! Ohhhh great misfortune, ohh great drama ... Ohh great... wait... Theres nothing great inside this ridiculous thing besides boredom and pitty. Why this is cult to few, only you guys know, but it's so bad that isn't even worth to listen to many.

Anyway, The album drags from beginning to end in the same tone and was a real torture to hear it until the end. I did it, twice, just to try to get it. I.M. really. This is really bad music dragging and whining, Tedious. Pretty average "music" and the vocals deserve a 0.

Ok cya guys.





Still reading?






Go now friend metaller! PLUR for you!


...



Now for whom made this personal.
To the guys who even mention my person in offensive and tipical dumb superior mania, Your opinions are so valid as mine and you can look around google... I am not alone in this. I saw many people hating this album and loving and praising ARFTA by Drac. You are better? Why? Bunch of bad taste guys defending their "damsel" in despair? Do you feel different? Special in some way? Guess what. You fu***** aren't. You just think you are!
Wait... I just forgot some are holy around. And then there's milk... And some people with real bad taste , but hey its my opinion, nothing personal. I just think this sucks! Maybe some of you also!
To all others, a bucket of hardcore metal cookies...

The sad thing is that those who speak of me should look in the mirror and just look how ridiculous and immature your attitude towards different opinions are. Dont be scared! Its you on the mirror!

Can't stand criticism on your worship album? This depressing thing? Best album of Doom ??

Hahahaha, that joke is even more sad than this album.

I wish for you all twice as much you wish for me.

And thank God for Draconian!

Back to this misery...
There's two or three decent riffs that is what gives a 6 to it. Not like? Do depressing circles and share your hurted innerself

Cya guys.

Thanx for the amusement and listen to good metal meanwhile. (WARNING , not.. this)

Yes, we are better. for starters, i imagine most of us don't take it personally and froth at the keyboard with anyone who dares disagree with our opinion.

you have drawn special attention upon yourself for being one of those e-bags who does take a slight at a band as a personal one and responding to each and every differing opinion in kind.

flailing around at a Warning album because people don't like another album by another band that you drool over...

i dub thee "Ponderer 2.0"

Valid opinion.

Please proceed.

The case here is only about 1 thing. Music quality. Not more not less.

You like this? No problem.

Do you want me to like?

No way.

I see you didnt laughed

Who is ponderer? Have you even pondered that this album really does suck for most of people?

Nahh, dont think so...

P.S. - Nobody menttioned "better"
.. only.. you (so far) and Draconian isn't even my fav band, you're shooting blindly obviously.

Written by Vonpire on 31.08.2011 at 06:30

Ponderer was a sad creature who used to lash out at people for no reason, offending them in random ways.
His similarity to you is quite clear:
- ponderer was outraged by the 5.9 rating that was given to Kamelot's "Poetry for the Poisoned". He decided to vent his frustration by bashing Enslaved's "Axioma Ethica Odini". He even wrote a completely incompetent review thus proving that he had never heard Enslaved's album.
- you are outraged by some MS users' opinions about Draconian's "Rose for the Apocalypse", so you took it out on Warning's "Watching from a Distance".
Both of you are utterly incapable of grasping the idea of the existence of various opinions about a single album. Ponderer was offensive and racist. He asked himself for a permanent ban, which the mods granted him. He has re-registered twice since then, but both times he revelaed himself by posting blatantly obvious things, so both of his new accounts were perma banned as well. He might still be around, but even if he is, so far he's been keeping a low profile, so we haven't noticed him.

As you can see, he paved the way for the likes of you. Let's see how you choose to proceed.

Written by Vonpire on 31.08.2011 at 06:30

Whine whine whine, bitch bitch bitch

It seems you need to really chill the fuck out. Get a hobby, get laid or something.

Actually, now that I think about it, please continue. Reading your pathetic bitching is the most fun and lulz I had on Metal Storm since ponderer wrote that troll review and set the site ablaze.
His legacy endures.

P.S. Not liking, and even dissing or mocking Warning is fine if you don't like them. But when someone disses an album you like, and you retort by writing 3-4 different comments of the same content about an album they like, well, that's just god damn pathetic and you deserve every bit of ridicule you get.
