Hey! Sorry im super late. So... I listened the delain's and well, its good. I just didn't get hooked like I used to with the other songs in their beautiful discography. I really liked two songs from epica's new ep: sirens and the other feat. How are u?

I felt they tried to enforce charlot style on her which is not fair for her, I felt she had good voice and the single was good especially the lyrics. I liked the EP but I get worried by the amount of many songs they make, which might affect their coming up album in its creativity.

Oh Give me all of that you thought! I'm saving it for the album release itself, I didn't even hear the first 2 singles yet but from the reviews I felt it would be good. but here you are not giving me much of hope. it seems the golden age in this genre is one time ago and could never be repeated. so sad knowing that modern music nowadays is so cancerous so it left with us only with these stuff from the old beautiful age to love without taking one step into the future lol.

Thank you, it is really hard sometimes to speak the unpopular opinion. it is not like i'm trying so hard to trash the album but it is really weak in many aspects. If Amy had better fitting producer the whole thing might has been different. also she went sami independent so their new label didn't intervene in their work instead they just released it. I guess she is in burnout mood for a along time and with it EV went downhill from great momentum. TBT need a great remasteres in its production if not a remake.

I hope it will grow on me,since its Lyrics are some of the best Amy has written.

Omega is Fantastic!But Simon Vocals aren't as great,Maybe because she done them on her own in private studio without Joost van being directly involved. Code of Life is a banger! Kingdom of Heaven give me shivers. abyss of time is beautifully energetic. Skeleton key is experimental in balanced way. Rivers is stunning Balad. I love how epica always care about album production and Joost never disappoint. adding the flute to epica style is fitting idea. all in all it is awesome album. I only wish simon given us more operatic vocals.

What are your 3 ? :D actually I can't show-offs since I didn't master them I just mastered the written script by reading. and u can say my native language do not count also add English. it's a lingua franca language accessible in many ways. I wish I can learn to speak them all fluently but learning a new language is certainly take time and my memory is not sharp. Sometimes I go to the kitchen to do something and suddenly I forget why I went there xD I love languages but my memory hate them haha. oh and Arabic is no easy task! so tell your brain to rest clam🥱 yes! I know Orphaned Land they had some fantastic tracks. they mixed modern Arabic pop with metal in good way mostly. Brother is my favorite song from them. but I much prefer the thick oriental style like in Sahara by nightwish or like The Siren or tutankhamon too

Woopsie! Sorry the late reply, failed to see the notification before xD my 3 languages are Portuguese (native), English and German (was born there, but sadly didn't practiced much since, altough I can understand most of it, but to speak i have to try and remember some words haha). I can understand a bit of Spanish, French and Dutch as well, but thats it xD My memory nowadays is really shit haha Yeah the oriental style in metal goes so well together, I love those!!

No worries! Last.fm algorithm is certainly isn't your friend and so it is with me :S I can feel u. so you're from brazil of portugal?I think I never listened to anything sung in portuguese If I remember.I guess we have common words with portuguese,I remember some of the common ones in spanish like Hasta but not the ones in portuguese sadly. I heard Germain language is not easy at all, I just know very basic words. I wish If I can Master French since I belive it to be one of the most beautiful melodically.Russian by its construction,Spanish by its liberty, Arabic by its diversity. Learning languages is like having wings in different planets. My memory Always has been killing me😭no idea how people in the past used to memorise stuff orally🙄 I adore White Dress! a come back to the original style without re copying itself, that for sure need some real creativity. I can listen to that song standing still yet my head would be in trance.

Hi,Im trying to survive,just let hope 2020 isn't just an intro for the real worst coming year haha. Elissa latest album is completely a disappointment. her voice isn't on point at most songs,only 3 songs I really liked,.على حس حكايتنا,هنغني كمان وكمان,صاحبة رأي. the rest are meh. no idea why so many songs in one album,The french cover is big no. attaching her francophonic ideology through Music is just cheezy. a lot of egyption accent being used and I don't like it to be used to such extent. The lyrics are too dumb and so childish.I think she herself, don't care that much about this album music since, she wanted to quit before doing this album but she was pressured by Rotana anyway.

Elissa done Good job on bringing extreme emotions to it.I agree remaking some songs might make them better but maybe the reason for that is production. those taken songs were older thus once they were remade they would have better sounding production. I Won't call u superficial :D but many arabic words do exist in turkish and vice versa. to capture the songs sometimes u gotta give them some time to Digest.Why would he? :D Elissa simpled kuzu kuzu by him but it wasn't as good except some tiny tunes. that is good! levantine is the closest to standard arabic.Khaliji,egyptians,darja re farther.

The style and mix is disappointing indeed! but the song itself is a million much better than horrible Entertain You. The song is centamatic and has good structure but it is very clear was done in home studio. no idea what is their plan for up next album since they're throwing songs at us fast this time which is worrying since those released songs could have been reworked with better focus and adjustment and most important the mixing. on the purge u got one guitar playing,sharon vocals are too high for no reason. maybe those songs were already demo resist songs, they wanted to get rid of them for a new album in new coming style maybe. or because they re owned by their previous label. anyhow all im hoping for is the WT that made me love them. original,confident,atmospheric,strong.

Enissa11
hahahha it's funny i liked Entertain you much better than this one, the only think i liked about The Purge is the beautiful chorus, but as you said, the home studio quality is noticeable and it shouldn't, the guitars kind of blend with the drums and sound awful and weak, there's something in the mixing and the songwritting that just could've been much better, besides, they said it would have some old school WT vibes and i just don't hear any old vibe at all so also my expectations were high, Entertain you at the other hand, sounds really good, the guitar riffs and drums are strong, a lot of fun synths (they resemble to the synths in Applause by Lady Gaga) it have a strong pre chorus and chorus, and the perfect bridge, idk i just think Entertain You is much better and dynamic, why do you think it's horrible? it seems like we're opposite poles when it comes to WT hahaha.

yeah, it had that feeling from TU too. overall its great song,u could listen to it anytime and it stays relatable. I believe great songs are those which catch your ear but don't stay in your mind yet your mind keep craving for them. the purge is one of these. well, I can't explain it enough with words but the song would be re engineered, I mean If i was the producer I would add them in way it fit,and it will be so organic lyricly too. I found the male vocals the most cliche in the song,done millions of times to so many songs with same style and lyrics. I heard the instrumental version and it as I said too cinematic which I really like. The music video is also great, although it isn't big budget but too creative. I love it when the focus is on expression instead of views,lights,background,clothing. also how it is combined with lyrics like in the last part ,I can't See!I can't See! scene...

bringing emotions is the most important thing in any MV or a song and I think sharon is good at that. Mother earth,stand my ground,memories,angles,ice queen. really show her ability as expressive MV singer. it is so sad how unfair the music industry is today. Big labels and websites with big capitle,decide for the world what to hear and what to see and what not to. while creative bands and artists re being just pushed more and more underground to nowhere to go.

she was so iconic in her early days. she was an artist's of a whole generation. her first 2 albums were too awesome but then she lost it. only few tracks could be as good to her old stuff and style. I know it doesn't make sense to stay the same but she went so fast with the change from black to pink with a second to early on. I think most artists after huge sudden success become burnout so fast thus their efforts becomes less creative and chaotic.

Hii.. did you find any spanish music yet?? I didn't know what to indicate because you asked me for "dramatic acts" so I really don't know, but if you like pop I think you'll like reggaton very much. Listen to Rosalía: Con Altura, Yo x Ti Tu x Mi and her new single TKN. J Balvin also is a great singer, listen to Rojo, it's a beautiful mid-tempo song. RBD also has some great tracks, includin beautiful ballads. If you don't know them I can suggest you some of their albums. Where do you listen to music??

Hi!, I found Pablo Al Boran, he has so many emotional songs some of them are too subjective which is cool poetically. also some stuff from David bisbal and Carla Morrison. I'm not narrow minded I can listen to anything good but some stuff doesn't stick. I mean listening to an album from first track to the last is not easy treat to find with many artists except Metal modeld albums since they tend to be conceptiontic. Okay I will give them a listen. I do use spotify.

Yes, Turkish music is always fascinating, and Ilike that you can find in the top charts always mix of genres, e.g. from techno to slowish kind of songs. Have you ever been in Turkey, or what has awakened the Turkish knowledge? ... I think nowadays it is better to stay in familiar places due to Corona virus. Once a vaccine comes, trips are suggestable. Meanwhile let us distract with our hobbies more ... What will you be playing music-wise for today? I am listening atm my "Release Radar" playlist on spotify. Ithas today again Chinese music and some slowish music

Indeed! from rock to pop to melodic to traditional. Turks are really good at creating sad atmospheric music, E.g. Bile Bile,biliyorsun by sezen aksu,Ihlamurlar Altında by İntizar,İkimizin Yerine by Tarkan.by turkish music and reading about the ottoman state it made me know more and more about turkey although I became advanced turkish reader everytime I try to continue something comes and interrupts me from going on. I wish I could visit many places but jordanian passport is weak and so my bank account haha even traveling within small jordan is expensive so it's hard anyway but yeah I wish to visit Trabzon,Mount Nemrut,Göbekli Tepe,Selimiye Mosque,Ishak Pasha Palace,aphrodisias and the jewel of turkey Istanbul. I'm listening to Nightwish new album it's an amazing album u must give it a try.some KARD I can't get enough of them. and some stuff from delain,Lacuna coil new releases.

Thanks, I will add the Nightwish album to my listening todo. I haven't visited the places you mention either, and as you say there are restrictions, but with the internet the world is just a small step away, and sometimes, that is also enough. I like history also, it was one of my majors in school. Sadly, I can't devote so much time to reading history books lately. btw: about Erkan Yılmaz as a soundtrack Composer: I don't know one, but my name is also very often to appear: I mean Erkan and Yilmaz are very frequent names in Turkish. It is something in frequency as Thomas and Smith. Do you have a link or so? I'd be interested to read about him.

Usually I do listen to them from time to time Lucidity is still great album to catch on,also Aprile Rain. I will put my hands on it eventually but After june since i'm under pressure in my daily life currently so I don't have clear mind to listen to anything with focus. about NW,Maybe because only 9 new songs re going to be out so once the expectations are high the disappointment might be bigger,so I gotta keep myself calm... I waited 5 years I can wait more some months. Elissa is melodic pop Arabic lebanese singer,she has too many great songs! her style is close to sarah brightman.

Not really! because as u can see I listened to a lot of WT stuff but from different editions which resulted into chaotic listing made resist go up faster. I don't hate resist actually,I just hated The way it was thrown to us. with poor production,poor maxing,unoriginal style,no complexity,horrible managing and producing,childish art cover. it feels as it was released in its demo version with no focus. WT members themselves seems not satisfied with it so they're now writing new album. something unusual for a band used to release an album every 4 years to 3 years.

If I was narrow minded u wouldn't see me listening to Resist that much😉 Mother earth and Enter both were very low budget albums when WT barely had a countbul fan base so judging them from that aspect would make u understand why those albums were great! although I agree they weren't for sure the best production out there and here comes the challenge WT has defeated since they had original style with straight vision of how things must come without losing their strength. on Resist they had high quality music but with unoriginal cemented poorly made style which made the music lose a lot of its strength. If u pay attention while listening to it u would notice how the instruments re not recorded in a live Studio but instead programmed ones that's why the sound it feels as a machine repeating its sound resulting in lack of echo in the album music sound. Sharon vocal techniques re plainly used and sung also being pushed beneath the instruments most of time with no focus.

well, you’ve come to the extreme of comparing the resist sound to paramour’s. I think you are part of the group that doesn’t like the hidra’s / the unforgiving’s, and misses the symphonic of the silent force. That will never come back. no matter how good the CD mix is! the band has already changed a lot in the unforgiving. if you liked this great change, it doesn’t make any sense even if you didnt like the resist, because they both are very similar sounds. and comom! for a band that has done feats with a repper, my indigo, etc, songs like paramore aren’t synonymous of lack of quality . I imagine that this mainstream approach is to keep sales high even. and they succeeded, as the resist picked up #1 on the world itunes. I've heard the cd quite a bit and still have not noticed the quality drop, but I'll admit the hydra is superior. just as the previous ones are too.

hydra,TU.re much better production wise than this one ,also The songs re much better on them.The songs on resist re Good but some re really solid as whole with really bad construction.The songs re short with too much repetitiveness in them and that show how how lazy WT guys were on this album.The drums,guitars,keyboards have no intensity neither echo or construction in them.I do prefer The old sound for many reasons but one of the greatest reasons was how original they were as band.now they have no direct direction or style but stolen styles from other artists which in turn created broken unfruitful style.all in all I don't hate resist but hate how it was done,If I was their producer or part of their lebel I wouldn't let it out in this shape.even if it was 1 on the world itunes it wouldn't sell 2 million copy like TSF has.my problem with WT is how uncreative,lazy they have become to the point they presented their new album cover through a video game fan art.
