240p: we meet again.

[SiNeX1983]

While simple enough to digest, "The Silmarillion" is a ponderous read. Not especially engaging.

[infamousas]

@SiNeX1983 Well you can always read Twilight, the national epic of USA and leave "The Silmarillion" alone for people who are worthy of reading it.

[Tjalfi999]

@SiNeX1983 Either you are lying about having read it, or you accidentally read the wrong book.

[mindtraveller100]

Have you ever compared the remastered edition with the original edition? I have the original edition and i think the production isnt heavy enough, the rythm guitars especially should be way louder, wich is a shame since this is one of the greatest albums of all time. Should i buy the remastered edition? What do you think?

[Damir8472]

@mindtraveller100 nope.

[HeadbangingChrist]

@mindtraveller100 If you wouldn't have it yet, I would by the remastered editions.

[demolishendimitri]

will i understand similarion when i did not read lotr but watched the movies? awesome song btw^^

[demolishendimitri]

@demolishendimitri Silmarillion... fail :D

[lllCockroachlll]

Yes, you can. I did the same, and it's understandable since one gets a notion of how elves, orcs, etc. are after watching the movies. I'd suggest you to search for a LotR map, it can help for the last parts of the book

@demolishendimitri

[demolishendimitri]

@lllCockroachlll ok thx

[uberari]

@lllCockroachlll i read the silmarillion first and it was easy to get. it dosent haaaave specific story though. its a anthology about the history of elves trying to get the silmarils. its not hard to understand.

[allamir]

holy... This song takes me back to the greenest plains in the Middle-Earth embraced by the heat of the wintersun... man!

[Shchetchynianin]

Nightfall is good, but Noldor is hilarious

[Colindo]

I never figuered out if it's about Gondolin or Nargothrond. It's in the middle of the album and it says "the dragon, merciless he's poisoning our hearts".

But "the hidden gate" was in Gondolin. What do you think?

[lunardragon2001]

I would wager they mean Gondolin; Turgon received portents from Ulmo (as in the first verse of the song) and considered Gondolin more of a "secret mission" than Finrod did (Finrod was merely inspired to duplicate Menegroth after his visit to Thingol, and he did not hide his location from allies).

As for the "dragon," recall that Glaurung made his appearance before sacking Nargothrond (and that his offspring were involved with destroying Gondolin). May also be a poetic reference to Morgoth.

[Colindo]

I thought about these things already, too. But also Orodreth gets a warning from Ulmo before Morgoth's host attacks.

And the position of Nargothrond was unknown to Morgoth until long. And before Turin came there and build the bridge Nargothrond had also a hidden gate. I still think it's 50-50 :-/

[kindsthaler]

i do acually think it's about gondolin, because of the line true hope lies beyond the coast. those were the words ulmo said to turgon in nevrast, so that turgon would fortify himself in a hidden place and send for aid to aman (what turgon tried by sending ship after ship, none of them returning except the sailor voronwe... you know the story)

[MetalinTheSky]

"Mirror Mirror on the wall

True hope lies beyond the coast

You're a damned kind can't you see

That the winds will change

Mirror Mirror on the wall

True hope lies beyond the coast

You're a damned kind can't you see

That tomorrow bears insanity"

[alxzlat]

Best song of the album

[Shchetchynianin]

I'd be for Noldor (Dead winter reigns)

[dragula69]

great song
