| Oh my! I've been meaning to check this one out, but I guess I'll take my time. A shame, really. I used to like My Dying Bride a lot until mediocrity crept in, starting from "A Line of Deathless Kings". Oh well. |
|
|
|
| My feelings regarding "For Lies I Sire" were almost the same (though I was able to find some nice moments there). I just hope it won't be so with this album. I wouldn't want to get disappointed with MDB for the first time... |

Perfect review.
This is an inoffensive record, very few good moments scattered here and there in an ocean of *meh*... It could have been really great, and it's a shame that, according to the band, this special project took even 15 years (figure it out, FIFTEEN YEARS!) to get accomplished.
However, one of the worst things on "Evinta" is Aaron singing in "Of Lilies Bent With Tears". Awful. (un)Fortunately, he will just keep speaking for the rest of the album. Which isn't a good thing either... |

I don't understand what is everyone complaining about.
This is not a MDB full length, this is a compilation based on 20 years of MDB and it involves three people, two of which are not even from the band (the french soprano and Bal Sagoth keyboard player).
Evinta is all about creativity, taking doom metal and making it instrumental pieces. MDB told us from the start that Evinta won't be a metal album. |

| Metal has nothing to do with my personal opinion in this review; i don't listen only to metal anyway. |

I don't see any 'true defender' complaining that it isn't a metal album; all the criticism towards "Evinta" is about its quality. |

I agree with most of the review, actually, even being myself a long time MDB fan and knowing that they never make the same record twice. This record sounds weird and sometimes directionless, puzzling together some old and new tunes and stitch them with the soprano voice. Though some songs work very nicely (That Dress And Summer Skin), most of them are somewhat deprived of emotion, which is the main key to MDB songs.
Already bought it. I give it a 7 out of 10. |

| Wow, a 3 disc My Dying Bride record. That is not ridiculous overkill in any way at all! Fantastic! |

| How about I say MDB rules but you can't rule all the time. Just look at the new morbid angel. I hear it has hip hop beats in it. no shit. |

It seems to me all MDB albums have a handful of amazing songs and a bunch of okay-at-best songs.
But when I heard was Evinta was actually going to be, I was less than thrilled. I think I'll pass on this one. |

Nice review!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unnecessary outputs:
Evinta [2011] (old melodies ripped from original form + scissors + new crappy nonsense + glue + bad vocal performances + violin doesn't fit and sounds crappy + lame lyrics + bad joke about doing this so long + 2/3 long f-king discs)
Bring Me Victory [2009] (although Scarborough Fair is quite ok, who really needs another cover from it? Bring Me Victory was one of the most horrible songs in 'For Lies I Sire' so of course they make an EP from it, and a music video too! Failure was nothing special, especially 'cause we know this band once covered Roads and Some Velvet Morning. ...And for the last one to make it EP we have 'OMG OMG how can we make this long enough to be called as an EP' we have Vast Choirs live, seriously... why the hell, what's the meaning of it?)
For Lies I Sire [2009] ('Hello, here's a bunch of songs we made while we waited for the pizza boy to deliver our kebabs')
An Ode To Woe [2008] (For Darkest Eyes released 3 times, Sinamorata a couple years before this and The Voice Of The Wretched live CD too.)
[2006 or something] (For Darkest Eyes DVD re-release with a new brown cover)
[2000, 2001, 2005] Meisterwerk I, Meisterwerk II, Anti-Diluvian Chronicles (Well, there's about 5-7 tracks for a fan to collect in these 5 discs. None of the discs can be called as a somekinda best of compilation.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlike the '90s, lots of dull material released in '00s & '10s. |

I'm still amazed with the youtube people wh like the cover of Roads... Alon fucking wishes he had the piercing sadness in his voice that Beth Gibbons has. They managed to fucked up one of my favorite Portishead songs and there are people who claim his voice is better?! Wow! |

Well, tastes. I like both of them. Maybe actually Aaron's voice fits in better for me, but the music in the original is maybe more vivid. Then again... In MDB's version the all-simplified everything works in a different way. Don't murder me : D |

I've never been a fan of Aaron's singing and on this one he should just shut up...  |

Of course, even Manowar say it, if you're not into metal you are not my friend! This album can't be my friend  |

Manowar are self-proclaimed gods of metal, makes it so less true 
if you confine to just metal you lose too much my friend  |

You might wanna do some research into our friend here buster. I'll go out on a limb and say that metal is definitely not his favourite genre of music. |

I was just kidding I'm not only into metal, i judged the album for what it is and it didn't appeal to me :/ |

Sorry to misjudge then
still probably most of the others dislike it for this reason.
"you" from "You just don't like it because it's not metal" was impersonal tho |

I really think they could have made something great with Evinta, but it didn't turn out well to my ears No prob mate! |

|
| I don't think it's very interesting either, gotta admit :/ but it's an experiment, so there was that risk. i really don't see why people began complaining abou my dying bride after songs of darkness, words of light. i still find the lies i sire to be a great album |

| I've recently listened to the "extra" disc of the deluxe edition, hoping to find something that could redeem this disaster. I thought the second disc ruined the entire project, but man, the third one just makes it all even worse! That's disgusting, I mean SERIOUSLY bad! What a shame... |

| All bands, all individuals come to a time in their life when ideas dilute, but that is no ground to use such language as you have in this review of yours. You are a fan? I sincerely doubt that. |
