New Amon Amarth album Megathread
so what are your opinions? Here's mine. It's not good. I'm really bummed out, I waited years. Every single riff sounds the same. chugg chugg chugg. Almost no single note riffs. Literally not one solo on the album. I don't even know who this is for. It's not for the new fans and it's not for the old fans. I've always defended them against people who say every song sounds the same, but now every song really does sound the same. I think there's a total of 7 or 8 unique notes used on the entire album. I mean I'm exaggerating, but yea. This album has more power chords than a Green Day album. I had a feeling this was coming when I heard 3 of the new songs at a listening party experience at a recent show with the VIP pass upgrade. Where's War of the Gods that punches you in the face from the first second? Where's First Kill packed with raw emotion and story? Where's Cry of the Blackbirds, Raven's Flight, Father of the Wolf? Hell even The Great Heathen Army had Dawn of Norsemen. I honestly don't know how to feel, I've seem them 15 times just in the past 5 years, and I am beyond let down.
