Enjoyed it a lot yesterday. Definitely will be going back to it a lot. Maybe I will end up liking this more than Warning or their debut even.

I think you're jumping fences in exhilaration.

I can't take a responsibility of beating new 40 Watt Sun by Warning's debut, that's for sure. But, sure as fucking hell it wouldn't have gone better than "Watching From A Distance" which I believe is pinnacle record of Warning.

And if it has surpassed, it will come quite a shocker for me. But, again anything can be expected from metal world.

Having said that, i'll listen today.

A bit displeased with the review as I think the actual content of the album should have been reviewed. This feels a bit sloppy for such a rich and good album.

^ The fuck? I thought the review gave me plenty of tips of what to expect and considering the two songs I've heard off the album... I'd say he described the album fairly well.
I wouldn't use the word rich too much with these album. Sure, it's rich in emotion but in musical context, the album is very stripped down like Craig said, more so than the already monotonous debut (which I also loved by the way).

I loved this album on the first play through. I imagine I'm only going to like it more with each listen. Also think the review describes this album perfectly, especially as to how it relates to Watching From a Distance and The Inside Room.

Hmm I don't think this is sloppy at all. Very focused and well-articulated review with some creative liberties.

You blindly comprehended my comment for something which it isn't.

I said I might definitely enjoy this more than Warning's debut. Tbh that album is an archetypal doom album that clearly bored me out after a few listens years back. I don't go back to it at all cuz it doesn't have anything to surprise me, even though it is not an album that has to surprise you but give you emotions but there is nothing in it for me anyway. But this is leaps and bounds away from the other 2 albums, of which the 40WS debut I didn't enjoy at all. And when I listened to this yesterday it clearly had a fresh and interesting sound which definitely feels like a change in the good direction. And it is a unique album too, you can see people trying to label a genre to it and fail because it is that unique it is defo doom style vocals but done on a acoustic like songwriting. So yeah, defo more fun than that holy cock of an album for me.

"WTTS" definitely far outstretched and is on different frequency.

As i said, it's a very well written record. But again, genius behind Warning can only reach to this level of competence. The mark of excellence can only be seen once you know how you put your formulated ideas into well-formed musical composition( for example, "Wider Than The Sky").

That's the problem i'd see in Opeth. Everything seems to look good on papers but when it comes to "composition", they fuck up.

I didn't understand that. Need to improve my english more.

Fuck, fuck fuck, fuck it. fuck, fuck
It gave me knowledge of that the reviewer has the debut on some list somewhere and the wordplay with the title was quite horrendous to be honest I am still enjoying reviews here, but some criticism could be good to keep things at a decent level

Mr. Unpopular Opinion entering the fray here. Yes indeed the music is quite good, but as with the debut as well as that Warning album, I still just can't get over those Pat Walker vocals. Count me in that group of "some" that finds them more whiny and overpowering than amazing and sweet as sugar. When I listened to 40 Watt previously I got the impression that I'd enjoy the band a lot more if the vocals were more buried in the mix, almost like whispers or something like that, and I still feel that way

I can get that, Apothecary, you aren't alone.

As for log, whatever, hombre. wake me when you contribute something to the site rather than criticize. if you think my wordplay was horrendous, just imagine how your smug arrogance comes across.

I like this review. It's plenty informative. I also find it clever that you've spaced out the review so much to reflect the sound of the album. +1 for symbolism.

I want to listen 40 watt sun but they make me so sad every time I listen to them Beyond You is my favorite song right now

An interesting album, but I'm not sure if it's something I'll buy. Very monotonous and extremely simplistic. Nevertheless, I do enjoy it, let's see if I can love it. Beyond You I'dpa really good song

Finally got around to checking this guy out. It's damn good!

Nailed it brother. Don't know much about this UK band and it's roots. What I do know this is pretty interesting stuff. Can "post doom" possibly be a genre tag? I hear crescendo's up the wahzoo and the guitar textures are close to "post - anything". Also, the vocals sound like the guy from R.E.M.
