People hail the production as ground-breaking, and I thought it to be as bad as the production on that last Metallica dud, "St. Anger," for a surprisingly similar reason: tinniness.<BR/><BR/>There is no sonic depth here, no field of sound to explore with your mind and ears. It is flat as a child's finger painting.Balancedchaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745698220500582855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698535316195586943.post-37654940777385324802008-09-30T18:53:00.000-07:002008-09-30T18:53:00.000-07:00ha. some people create art. some people write ab...ha. some people create art. some people write about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698535316195586943.post-70446541227463245192008-02-10T01:29:00.000-08:002008-02-10T01:29:00.000-08:00IMO, the most critically acclaimed album I have ev...IMO, the most critically acclaimed album I have ever had the unfortunate opportunity to have listened to. And I have listened to it, over and over and over and over and over again, to try and gain SOME glimmer of the "brilliance and beauty" of Shields from behind the heady waves of noise that pound incessantly in the same predictable patterns ad nauseum. And it just isn't there. I just dont get it. I dont get it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796218417817911656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698535316195586943.post-85711298327688258582008-01-09T20:29:00.000-08:002008-01-09T20:29:00.000-08:00"There is nothing genius about stringing hunks of ..."There is nothing genius about stringing hunks of tremolo-feedback static together with a single strand of melody on top." Heh, you just indicted half of black metal. I don't love this record but I don't hate it, either. The repetition and blockiness aren't necessarily dead ends. Still, the tracks are too long. The album severely needs a remaster. It's a sound record, not a song one (at least it's supposed to be, right?), and the sound is lacking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698535316195586943.post-58897419586012766212008-01-06T12:20:00.000-08:002008-01-06T12:20:00.000-08:00Brilliant, Scott.
