The Upcoming Albums Thread

I listened Human. :||: Nature. again and it looks like for some odd reason I gave it four stars off my one listen years ago but that's had to be halved after the relisten. Even 2 still seems generous to be honest. I spent the whole thing wondering what Tuomas was thinking. 

They've done a music video for The Quest for Tanelorn:

And I'm not too impressed. I mean it's Blind Guardian so it sounds good but it doesn't sound as good as the original does. It feels more polished and slick but this actually makes the song lose something and I expect that's going to be true of the entire release if this is anything to judge by. 

This is probably my least favourite so far, but Simone's solo album is shaping up to be a very eclectic affair: all three songs dropped so far are very different and if you thought having Mark Jansen on this track would make it sound like Epica, you'd be very wrong. Some strong industrial vibes here.

Yeah, I'm not really sure what they're trying to do with this album: It just sounds like a bunch of random songs that belong on different albums, with no coherency whatsoever, at least so far. I do like all the singles, though, so maybe the full album will make more sense, lol
