Lokasenna Posts: 63	Permalink +1 13.04.2018 - 14:10 Lokasenna Posts: 63 Is it weird that I'm excited to hear someone cover this song because literally anyone else would sound like they were putting in more effort than the singer here? It's like if King Diamond decided limit his range to "I'm kneeling in front of the altar, Satan's cross upon the wall" - totally incongruous IMO to the upbeat, heavy feel of the rest of the track. i.e. it sounds like Ghost. That said, I'm sure the track/album will do really well. Loading...

Alakazam spendin' cheese Posts: 1218	Permalink 13.04.2018 - 18:33 Alakazam spendin' cheese Posts: 1218 I like the art, very Bosch/Cranach like in its monsters faces besides the Velasquez painting atop dictating the colour. I like even more the fact they covered Pet Shop Boys. ---- I may not have the largest collection but I certainly have the absolute best Will the real Kadabra please stand up? Loading...
Necrodamus Posts: 435	Permalink 13.04.2018 - 19:09 Necrodamus Posts: 435 Artwork is very Lovecraftian. As for the song, it's catchy and has some great riffs, especially in the solo. I wonder if that's his new Papa style, looks like the same mask he wore during the Ritual video. Loading...

Ocean Sage Posts: 474	Permalink 13.04.2018 - 20:38 Ocean Sage Posts: 474 Rats is a cool Ghost song. It's got killer riffing and some nice drums. The video is corny as hell with the over the top dancing. The artwork is gorgeous as always with Ghost. It could be a cool album coming. Loading...

The concept art is so amazing and the music neither fits it nor even lives up remotely in terms of quality. ---- You are the hammer, I am the nail building a house in the fire on the hill Loading...

Malignar Posts: 285	Permalink 15.04.2018 - 04:15 Malignar Posts: 285 I don't think a lot of people "get" Ghost. I think he tries to purposefully make the band sound campy/cheesy/light rock and couples it with a dark message to rope the masses in. I've never seen it done this successfully before, much to his credit. He is getting fans out of people that would recoil if they heard a blast beat...but with a less than mainstream message.

Polaria Posts: 248	Permalink 15.04.2018 - 11:32 Polaria Posts: 248 That video has an early 80s vibe. It reminds me of Michael Jackson's Thriller. I saw that video as a child when it was released in 1983/84, I found it awesome, and it stuck with me ever since. ---- Life is all the pain we endeavour. Loading...

Lokasenna Posts: 63	Permalink 18.04.2018 - 01:19 Lokasenna Posts: 63 We could probably all agree on "pop hard rock", if not "pop metal". Go listen to the original of "If You Have Ghosts", then listen to Ghost's cover - Forge's delivery strips out all the dynamics, all the life, and wouldn't sound out of place in a Top 40 song.
