Coverkiller's review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3tQWSfJExw

Watain's latest LP is certain long and epic, but it's just not definitive enough for me to surrender any more time and money to it. However, this could totally be the case for a die hard black metal fan.

What do you think of this LP? Love it? Hate it? Why?

6/10

I think they have kind of boring vocals.

Sorry watain fans.

What is the best album you have heard needledrop

[theneedledrop]

@chillernz Ever? Maybe something from Wire or Mission of Burma? Do you mean Black Metal-wise? Maybe the 2nd or third Mayhem LP.

@bobgray666 Well, how would you review the album? I'd love to hear your thoughts via video.

This is one great album and should stand on its own without any preconceived ideas of what a 'black metal' album should sound like. To my ears, this isn't a straight up, garden variety BM record. There's the progressive element and great production. Purists will probably dislike the 'clean' mix. Personally, I don't want every album to have that 'necro', first Burzum lp sound- that'd be a bit boring and played out. Three words: Waters Of Ain!! 5/5

The reason why you are giving an interview an Labor Day is because you don't have a life. LMAO

You suck and I'd like to shove smoldering hot coals up your gaping anus.

[SitRepful]

Good production, tight execution, varied songwriting, but ultimately forgettable. I'll stick with Sworn to the Dark.

I'd give it a solid 8 myself. I'm actually surprised he didn't give it a higher score based on all of the praise he had for the album throughout the review.

@aguyfromtexas Nah man, it's a great album but it's definetely not that avantgarde/experimental/import­ant.

[Superape613]

You have a really fantastic grasp of English. Easily my favourite reviewer.

[aguyfromtexas]

Oh, man. 6 out of 10? Smh.... This is easily the most important black metal release of the twenty-first century.

[Chawkenftw]

This is a masterpiece. Sure, it's your opinion, but 6/10..? I'm quite chocked you didn't mention anything about one of the best tracks on this LP (imo) "Waters of Ain". It's so beautiful, yet raw and agressive in some parts. The outrosolo is just perfect.

@BeatBay Right, because we all know metal is about how you look. Please, get a life.
