I think Tobias (Papa) changes his vocal style ever so slightly depending on "the age of Papa", so the first Papa was meant to be in his 60s, Papa II was meant to be in his early-to-mid 50s and this current Papa is meant to be roughly the same age though "he" appears far younger and the vocals seem for more enthusiastic and full. I think it adds to the band's theatrical edge, though I agree with you on the second album, really not my cup of tea with the more Pop side.
@letMEgoROCKnROLL
@letMEgoROCKnROLL 9 жыл бұрын
Tom Collings Agreed. Forge is definitely changing his vocal style ever so slightly with each album to reflect the changing of the Papas. Not to mention this Papa is much more talkative at live shows than his predecessors. To me it was pretty obvious that Papa III was gonna have some new vocal experimentations from the moment "Cirice" was released when he belted that prolonged "Yoooou-whoaaaa-oh-ohhhh" during the closing chorus. Papa I and II never got close to such a flourished vocal line. As you said, enthusiastic and full. Very excellent attention to detail in the songwriting by the band.

Some of my all-time favorite bass riffs are from "Majesty", "From the Pinnacle to the Pit", and "Absolution". I hardly ever find 3 songs on one album where the bass carries the song so well and is just flat out impressive. "From the Pinnacle to the Pit" is very fun to play on bass. It's one of those bass lines that moves your fingers across the fret-board in a satisfying way. Sadly, this album was the last Ghost album that I truly enjoyed. Hope they go old school one more time on a future album!

Oh man I love this album. The singles blew me away and the rest of the album DID NOT disappoint. Although I do have 2 minor complaints, one of them is that the closing track wasn't very good. The song wasn't bad, but it kind of lacked the epicness of an album closer. My 2nd complaint is that the album is a little too short in my opinion. Sure, 41 minutes isn't necessarily a lacking amount of time. I just felt if they maybe bumped it up to 45 or 50 minutes then this album might have been much better. Overall, killer album. One of my favorites so far this year. 9.5/10 (decent 9) Best Ghost album yet if you ask me.

Hey Anthony I just watched your old Review of Opus Eponymous, which I think still remains my favourite Ghost album. But the main point is can you run through your backyard again and scream the Bands name and Album title again? That was so cool back in the day :D

I think that on this album, Ghost kinda met the experimentation of Infesstium (which I thought was pretty good) with the dark, gloomy heaviness of Opus Eponymous, and that's why it's so good. I think you're right on the number with the atmosphere, the way Ghost creates their world reminds me of older BoS, Mercyful Fate and Black Sabbath records while they still take influence from other rock sub-genres like you mentioned. Great review Anthony, and I'm super hyped for when the album drops in two days.

Hey Anthony. I managed to focus on your wallpaper in the bottom left corner and created a 'magic eye' effect, if you remember that from the 90s. Made your hand flourishes appear stereoscopic. Highly recommend everyone do it if they can. I'm feeling a strong 9, on your wallpaper.

Loving the recommendation for Mercyful Fate's Don't Break The Oath. Similarly occult and a bit theatrical. Gypsy and Come To The Sabbath are probably the best introductions to the band from that album.

My housemate showed us the "Year Zero live at Music Feeds Studio" video right before Christmas. My husband and I have not stopped listening to Ghost since. He even plays it at work (cook for a vegetarian restaurant in "HippieVille") and none of the customers ever seem to notice what it is they're listening to. I love this band to pieces. I have to go play it...riiiight.. now. ;) (p.s. I agree about Mummy Dust, but it IS growing on me...like mold on an old headstone, hehehe.)

I loved this review. I think you nailed quite accurately how I felt about all 3 Ghost Albums. Some people say Ghost is overrated, or like they're not anything special, but they are doing really neat stuff. I did get a strong sense of theater, presentation, and careful orchestration on this one. I give solid 8, maybe 8.5, but perhaps I need another listen.

Hi lad! First, I really like your videos and found some great music and inspiration because of you. Thank you! Can I make a suggestion? You could put the music genre in the video title or in the info. It would be way more convenient for your viewers to know that instantly. For example, I know that I really don't like Black Metal or Noise, but you review a lot of them, so I end up spending a lot of time clicking through the videos. Just like "Ghost -Meloroa ALBUM REVIEW [Metal]" or similar. Thanks, Nils

Nice, honest review...I picked up the 'limited' gray smoke version from (cough, cough) Hot Topic earlier today (Friday) because I've ALWAYS been prone to get the pressing that only a few own, I do wish that I knew the amount(?) though. All and all, I've been enjoying this quite a lot...I guess I'm one of the few who loved their 2nd album too and will get to see them again in SF in October. Once again, great review👍.

Every single song on this album is an absolute banger, with the notable exception of Spoksonat, which is quite a strange but good interlude. My friend got me into Ghost back when Opus Eponymous came out and the first time I heard it, my reaction was like, " wow, this is super duper awesome", and then when my girlfriend had me listen to their second album where I was like, " these guys are onto something". So upon hearing this I was like, "THIS IS A MASTERPIECE". Ghost are one of those bands that I hear where they do something different with each album. I recently heard Prequelle and I was immediately mind blown by how awesome it is.
