@schwarzerFalkeunten So popularity is the gauge then for the perceived "goodness" of a song? So if this song was more popular than stuff from Slaughter of the Soul, you'd dislike it? This is a good song whether or not it's popular, but what if it was crap like some stuff on early At The Gates releases? I don't consider a bad song good just because it was done by guys who did great things later, or the other way around. Life is learning, so is music. Some go down different paths.
@Simpson654 this is scwarzerFalkeunten, and i didnt mean it like that, I just hate it when a band gets popular, you have the little band wagon fan boys who don't know the truth of the band and they say they've been listening to the band since it started.
@Simpson654 This + The Red in the Sky Is Ours > Slaughter of the Souls.
The Red in the Sky Is Ours > This.
Popularity ain't bad, but Slaughter of the Souls is only considered a "masterpiece" by little kids and the Gothenburg-loving faggots and is incredibly overrated. And you don't want an album to be popular just because it's loved by poseurs and little kids who don't know a damn thing.
@Simpson654 he meant this is better than sots because of the way sots is structured which is poppy and rather mediocre...it makes it an accessible album to unaccustomed ears which means its popular but that also means its not that musically compelling...sots just has no fire
I alway thought he Tompa says "Non divine, a wasted soul worth gold, eater of gods"

While I think this is a great album, if you think SOTS isn't, then you're a fucking idiot.

i think the best swedish album of all time is Dark Tranquilitys Skydancer.

@BringerOfTruth123
I also think Skydancer from Dark Tranquillity is awesome.
But my favourite of the pioneer Melodic Death albums is
"The Jester Race" of In Flames. Its just pure Epicness.
