Heretic leaves me cold while Illud gives me some pleasure.

heretic is one of my top ma albums, i love it. it's like trey in his bedroom plugged straight into his computer making songs. the low-fi rough production to me was refreshing and still is. everything is so polished and overproduced these days. sometimes we need more of a rough sound, not like black metal rough though

i remember trey said he used a shitty behringer v-amp 2 to record some of the guitar rhythms. I had one of these, it sounded like hot dogshit.

Then again I don't play like Trey and I don't have Punchy doing any studio pittsburgh showdown. :::

I agree with zim there. That's what I liked about Heretic as well.

[-M-]

Kingdoms would be better with Heretic style production.

[zim]

does anyone recall if there was any backlash over gateways production? i wonder if the over production of gateways is what drove trey back to a more raw sound

[H4T3M4CH1N3]

"Over production of gateways"

























































...


























































Yeah right. Time for you to quit sniffing gasoline, siree

[zim]

i'm pretty sure almost everyone here would agree that it's their most digital sounding album

[iamgoat]

That's because of the electronic drumkit. The rest is all real amps. I wouldn't call it over produced though.

[Paste Human]

I just listened to Gateways for the first time in quite a while last night and holy shit did I forget how mechanized the drumming on that album sounds

My three favorites are C, F, and A in that order

[djonni greazo]

F
B
A
C/G/H

K (it's seriously meh at its best)
D
I

edit: H is seriously on of the most underappreciated metal albums in general. the production "problem" is blown way out of proportion (i'm in the "i love it" camp anyway so i don't think here is a problem in the first place ) and it's chock full of classic MA songs. it just has too many too long interludes/outros

[Phantoon]

I'm at a stage where they're all sorta equal to me and a specific favourite depends on the mood. K is still fresh so i'd say it's artifically the best for me right now.

The exceptions are D and I. These two are far and away below the rest although they each have 1 or 2 songs which are killer like Dominate and Nevermore.

[iamgoat]

Nevermore is a pretty good song indeed there’s a live version out there that’s amazing. It has so much energy and is slightly faster than the original.

[toozey]

Mainly average band.

[Ninny]

Fuck you toozey

[Josh]

English tosser

[Skinfection]

B, C, F

[toozey]

Fuck you toozey

thats not nice, thought we were friends.

[Ninny]

I hope we still are and I sincerely apologize for the harsh words
