[Blackjuggalo530]

When you first hear the Banjo, You just can't help but to Laugh. But when you continue to hear. It grows on you. Taake is well Known to be different. Thats why this band is Awesome.

[ZyklonPsyklon]

[TheYersinia666]

I heard over thousand bm bands but there are just a few which are making real unique and sensitive music. hoest is one of this musicians who is unique. Stop arguing about being trve. Noone is trve, we are just people.

[Skyggar]

@TheYersinia666 Yes, the truth hurts.

[Imiface]

@TheYersinia666 "we are just people" I guess you misunderstood the spirituality of black metal.

[smackythefirst]

i'm sorry i really wasn't hearing why this was so much better than most BM and then the banjo happened. i may not always like every black metal band i find but i will always love a song if it has banjo. what an odd combo. props for making it work so well!

[Ryllelandor]

I just love taake x) And this banjo is so fucking badass xD

[K6Mace]

The hells is this band. I must become a fan =O

[saibot10100]

I don't normally like banjo, but this is awesome!

[superiormusic]

Never thought sounded so good in black metal

BANJO FOR THE WIN!!

[civilizationsdead]

Black metal has much folk influence. it was only a matter of time before the banjo was introduced. For people who should be in tune with nature and traditional folk, theres a lot of idiotic comments here.

[pointpoint10]

@civilizationsdead Folk music? Are you insane? Just because bands weave "folk" music into their songs doesn't mean black metal comes from folk (except by several removes from the blues).

And do you imagine they play the banjo in Norway? Or do you think they have their own folk instruments?

[embracedbyfrost]

@pointpoint10 did i ever say black metal came from folk? no. I said it has influence. yeah im sure quite a few people play banjo in Norway. along with their native instruments. The connection to nature that black metal has is too strong to deny. Traditional norwegian folk also having that connection with nature and the lore. Incorporating folk instruments into the music is not a shocker.

[pointpoint10]

@embracedbyfrost Folk, nature, and banjos are three very different things that I think you're conflating. Black Metal has an interest in Germanic Volkisch ideology. But they do not play folk music. Some people have tried to combine the two, disastrously. Banjos aren't part of Norway's music history: they come from African ports, through America, to the blues and finally the rest of the world. Rock and roll also comes from blues, but it's a long history from there to Black Metal. You are stupid.

[embracedbyfrost]

@pointpoint10 yet i hear plenty of atmospheric black metal with LOTS of folk influence. And the Austrian black metal band Rauhnacht took its chord progression and lyrical style directly from the alpine folk band Sturmpercht. A direct fusion of folk and black metal that blended flawlessly. The band Angantyr used the Hardingfele in a few of their songs. Many norse BM bands take chord progression straight from traditional scandinavian folk. you're the goddamn fool.

[pointpoint10]

This takes BM nowhere. It's only fat upon the bones of a dead man.

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

fat mostly isn't attached to bones.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme I never said the fat was attached to bone, just that it is greasy, lugubrious, obscene, flaccid, and foul. This music isn't alive, but neither is it desiccated. It is morbid and obese.

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

So I take you don't like it.

Well, kindly fuck off than.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme Ha ha ha! I see what you did there, that's cute. "Kindly fuck off." What a hoot. And you used "than," like, "this music is worse than having a spike run through my ear," instead of "then," as in "if you like this kind of thing then you are fucking stupid."

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

Look, you're clearly intelligent (Intelligent enough to correct me in language I never claimed to have mastered anyway). So the next thing will probably be very easy to understand, because you are very intelligent. Taste in music is 100% rooted in opinion. You can dislike it all you want, but I'll have to ask what your goal is here.. What are you trying to achieve? This is the music we like, and you saying there isn't a reason to do so, wont change us liking it.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme Do you really believe that music appreciation is only opinion? You can't look at it and question it? What is music criticism? Is that only subjective? Do you think that it is a coincidence that so many people pick out the banjo as the primary failure of this music? I think that your claim is horse shit & if you considered it a little longer you'd probably admit as much. I think you make that claim because you don't know how to describe what you believe is the value of this work.

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

Of course you can question it, of course you can criticize it, yeah, it is all subjective you fucking twat. Objective truth is only found in maths, everything else is interpretable between boundaries of the understanding we have build up. No it's not a coincidence, it's obvious, it's an instrument for pig fuckers.

You know, your claims are fat on the bones of a corpse, it's greasy and obese. It doesn't have any value to anyone, none what so ever, you moron.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme 1. You appear to believe that the relativity of taste is objectively true, even though it is not mathematically proven. So scratch that claim. Even the idea that it is objectively true mathematics is objectively true disproves itself. 2. It appears obviously, objectively true that my denunciation of this shit music is of value to you, enough that you have built straw men in order to attack my criticisms. What is of worth to you in this music? The novelty? Or something deeper?

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

1. No, I don't. I never insinuated anything of the sort.

2. Maths is objective truth, and objective truth is maths. If you can't understand that, that's your problem.

3. Yeah it is, I like arguing.

4. Haven't made any, you're just ignorant about a relevant portion of human understanding of the universe.

5. I like listening it, it sounds good too me, I love to play it in various situations. Like a lot of other people do. This in and of itself makes your claims utterly moronic.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme 1. So it is not objectively true that music appreciation is 100% subjective as you claimed before? Is that an objective truth? Which is it? Is it objectively true that music is 100% subjective or not?

2. So it is not true that my arguments have no value for anyone.

3. You seem to have skipped math class when they were instructing proofs.

4. You've said that you like listening to it, but why? What does it do? What is it worth? Is it just novelty? Or is there something deeper?

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

1. Can't you even see why you are talking crap here?

2. I don't think anyone is getting any wiser from it though

3. Just laughing at that your previous "you straw men maker" claim. + maths isn't the things it proofs you moron. I'm not even going to try to tell you why because 500 characters is a bit short for explaining that.

4. Doesn't matter now, does it. If I like it. Even if I was the only one that did your claims would be shown to be moronic. So they are, moron.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme Why do you refuse to answer these questions? It seems you have refused to consider them. Your answers are evasive.

Is it objectively true that music is 100% subjective or not?

You've said that you like listening to this song, but why?

Do you only like it because you like it? Is that a circular argument; is it tautological?

What does the music do? What is it worth? Is it novelty or something deeper?

Why are your attacks now ad hominem? Is it because you don't have an answer?

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

When you have a reasoning process, and part of it is subjective in stead of it all being pure logical reasoning, your whole conclusion is subjective. There isn't any more chance than 1 or 0 in it. So yes, it is 100% subjective. I used it to enforce my statement.

There isn't an ad hominem, I've just called you a moron. There is a difference, look it up.

I like it because it gives me a feeling I like, I don't know why.

You're pretended erudition is getting on my nerves

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme There is no requirement that you respond. Your replies so far have only attempted to unseat my reasoning by denigrating my character (ad hominem) & by providing an argument that it is objectively true that music appreciation is subjective (this claim made without mathematical support & so, by your logic, doubtful). Are there objective criteria on which we can agree in assessing this music? What is the feeling that you like & how do you think the music engenders that feeling?

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

Your reasoning is flawed. And again, there is a difference between calling someone a moron and implying that because you are a moron, your arguments are invalid (ad hominem). I DID NOT do the later. I provided you the most simplistic answer possible on why you are reasoning in a wrong way. If you don't get why I AM right, again, your problem, take a contemporary book on the philosophy of science and read it.

Yes there are objective criteria, doesn't matter.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme If there are objective criteria by which music is evaluated then it is not a purely subjective evaluation. So it does matter. Again, this seems to contradict your earlier assessment that the only objective facts in the world are mathematical. Is the claim that music is evaluated only subjectively an objective claim? And, more to the point: you're still dodging the question. Why do you like it? You seem eager to express your opinions, though not on that direct question.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme Your inarticulateness and evasion are boring. Your logical fallacies piled up are embarrassing. Your circular logic is tawdry. Your close-mindedness insults both you and me. You denigrate everything you seek to defend by not using them thoughtfully or critically.

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

So be bored.

Point me to one, you dumb twat. You said I "ad homed" you and build straw men, but you clearly don't understand what they are.

Circular shmurcilar, I just said I liked the music.

You started from a bias that I am attacking making YOU by DEFINITION the closed minded one.

True ad hominem attack here, one based on generalization.

You said I should take a math clase, that was another one, and I showed you why it was a moronic one too.

You sir, are a moron.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme A bias is not equivalent to a closed mind.

This is the contradiction I see in your claims:

1. "Mathematics is objectively true."

2. "Music is 100% subjective."

3. "Music is 100% subjective" is a statement that claims objectivity.

4. Statement 2 is not mathematic.

5. Statement 1 or 2 cannot be true.

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

Okay, you won, I'm wrong.

I'm not waisting my time any longer with you.

If you are really curious about what I'm saying instead of being eager to show yourself to be right, than go read books on contemporary mathematic philosophy. I'm not writing whole chapters down to make you feel important.

I recoment Frege and the Philosophy of Mathematics by Resnik or Mathematics and the Physical World by Klein. Both are very easy to digest speak about the reality of maths.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme Why don't we include Wittgenstein and Russell, Popper, Descartes, Bishop Berkeley, a little William James, Alfred North Whitehead, Kant, perhaps Alan Turing (you've been arguing with an anonymous, potentially non-human entity for days) etc. etc.? You seem to have gone straight for one branch without bothering to look at the tree and its roots.

Anyway, why do you like this song? You like it enough to argue, but not enough to argue for or about it. I'd really like to know.

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

You know what, I was almost posting a answer to all that again.

But you're spewing bullshit again and I'm not gonna give you any reason anymore to think you are smarter than me or something like that.

The last part I'm gonna answer for the second time.

I don't know why I like it, I just do. I have NO arguments FOR me liking it OR to convince anyone to do so. Nor is there any argument for me to convince me to NOT like it.

This was the last comment.

[mnetwork7635]

@klootzakisme fucking right. Music isn't about justification and expression through words. Music is one of the only ways to escape these bullshit semantics present in life, but yet people still decide to engage in ridiculous word games on youtube videos. Fuck words, just listen.

[pointpoint10]

@mnetwork7635 If you really believe that you can't or shouldn't express your love of music in words you really do a disservice to the thing you claim to love. To say "I just like it" is a hollow affirmation. Do you "just like" your mother or the clothes that you wear, the people you spend time with or the shows you watch? Or do you enjoy them because they express something in you, because they care for you and spend time with you, because they arouse you or give you an awesome sense of virility?

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme I don't believe you. Music moves you, no? I cannot imagine that anyone spends so much time vehemently defending music without having some speakable idea of the sensation it causes within them. I don't know why you refuse to utter your experience, but I do not believe you are blind to it. Or maybe you don't really like the music, but an opportunity to argue your other interests. Or it could be that your inner life is dusty and empty of conviction. I'm just speculating, of course.

[klootzakisme]

@pointpoint10

And just an extra minor point. You corrected my grammar in the beginning of this conversation. Try applying that critical reading on your own English first. Because I just found at least five major mistakes by just rereading it.

BTW, still not claiming I don't make em. You did, and when you do stuff like that, you better be very fucking careful.

So again, you're a fucking moron.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme Would you care to identify said errors? Why should I be careful?

Look, here's why this music is disgusting: It's a redundant rendition of a genre that (gloriously) self-immolated around 1994. Taake beautifies BM into pop grotesquerie. The singing and guitar are forced, dull, but try to overcompensate. They introduce the non-sequitur banjo like an afterthought during mixing. The lyrics are cliche, e.g. "A living hell," etc. It smacks of novelty and a failure of imagination.

[pointpoint10]

@klootzakisme Proofs evaluate the truth of mathematical propositions. I don't understand your claim that mathematical proofs don't proof math. Can you explain it in two 500 character commentaries?

[Svartsjel1]

redneck black metal???

[Kaiser86]

The banjo part should be the anthem for winning.

[TheMilkyboy77]

Bravo!

[msiqct]

This banjo sounds ridiculous!!! It's like a far wast dressed in corpse painting... c'mon!

[surobakianinpo]

not that the banjo wouldn't sound good but..

i don't know it somehow tears down the atmosphere

[ClassicRockMusiic]

from since the banjo part begins the rest song is pure WIN

[pacorpse666]

i freaking love the banjo part. Hoest, you have balls my friend.

[Luukeksi]

I like how the atmosphere unexpectedly goes from grim to FEET-A-TAPPING. Not sure how to take this sudden humour in the face

[maxeypad]

HAIL!

liking the banjo! there needs to be more banjo in metal, I think the only other place I've heard it is in an ensiferum song

[Maschinenzimmer777]

could be a great meme, just like the epic sax guy !

[DimebagHK]

@Maschinenzimmer777 Fuck no. Memes are gay as shit.

[Maschinenzimmer777]

@DimebagHK and so is this album, sadly... I miss the great old times !

[DolGuldur87]

When the banjo kicked in I was like WTF, but then I was like FTW!

[paganLSBPN]

banjo not trve !

[Livlos]

That banjo needs a fuzz on it...

[ThePsychoToaster]

The banjo sounds really weird in this, and even weirder when you realise it actually sounds fucking good.

[666wrathchild]

i think the banjo solo was one of the best solos to come out this year

[suoquainen]

@Pagnah: Twist may be the right word.

[juanchoja]

With the banjo solo is like them playing Black Metal at an Irish pub full of drunks and Metal drunks

[klootzakisme]

He was pushing it with the mouth harp, but this just came all the way round to pure gasting fucking epicness.

[ingenkontroll]

ONLY BANJO IS REAL

[blekstar666]

[backflip369159]

this the most TAAKE album taake have released the sound is just taake

[Iamstheblackwizards]

fucking BANJO! Makes me Love Høest that much more….

[suoquainen]

I think the banjo solo is for Taake inappropriate, but on an other view it makes this art of Black Metal a bit more accessible.

[Pagnah]

@suoquainen Brings a folkish twist to it. Not that inappropriate.

[strichminus]

TRUE NORWEGIAN BANJO METAL

[fedd5]

Why is there so many people whining about the banjo part? It's fucking awesome.

I love when bands use "different" instruments, like Valfar in Windir who used accordion, it makes them more interesting and they excel themselves from "normal" black metal bands.

[Ausdoerrt]

@fedd5 Whine? Not quite. That shit's AWESOME! Sent me rofl'ing first time, too.

[FutileExistence]

@fedd5

lol, there is a difference in trying to excel themselves and trying too hard. Many people don't ever set a line between them. I'm not implying that they are doing this though! haha

[AmonAmarthNW]

@fedd5 Those people don't know what good music is. That banjo makes it different, but in the good way ;)

[RogueAdamantiumQueen]

@fedd5 No complaints here, I think it's great! The banjos were unexpected but after several listens wholly embraced. The use of such an instrument in a creative way that works well with the material is a beautiful thing.

Taake --- doing it right since 1993

[LackOfSoulDisease]

@fedd5 I agree with you to a 1000%

[Luukeksi]

@fedd5

It's not about disliking "different" instruments as a principle. It's about that the "different" instrument in this song is a fucking banjo that upon hearing makes me look around for denim overalls to suit the atmosphere of the song.

[Pagnah]

@fedd5 Exactly. Some people tend to overreact in a negative manner as soon as an untraditional black metal instrument is implemented in a bands style, as it, for them, would not sound dark enough etc. That's total bollocks.

[ZyklonPsyklon]

@fedd5 the banjo part is fucking awesome.

[zbridgjpxupzm]

...the fuck was that ??!!! lol

I totally zoned out in the end, thinking this is as retarded as Corn-Dog Milkshake...

[vinterkrig1945]

fuckin great new album..the banjo is AWESOME!!!
