I don't know, I think he realized people think power metal is cheesy and decided that he's too cool for cheesy shit. Sad.

Here are excerpts of a review from Heavy Metal Pages Magazine, Poland:

"I can assure you, after listening to those masterpieces you won't be able to do anything but listening again, again and again. You will stop eating, talking, going to work, fondling your cat. You'll be just devoured by those beautiful notes. What you find on "The Wicked Symphony" and "Angel of Babylon" is not just A piece of music, this is THE piece of music and Tobias Sammet is not A Metal-musician, he is THE Metal-musician!"
Tobias Sammet describes the title track in his own words, "a ten minutes track featuring a vocal battle between Jorn Lande, Russell Allen and me". He also adds that there will be many unusually long songs on the albums.[3]

I've listened to the samples and I don't like it apart from "Death Is Just A Feeling".

i think you should not give him another try and forget about him and not post about him. its a great deal because he is better off without you, you are better off without him, and we all are better off without people being so negative about him

Haha, so true.

But yeah, I've lost faith in Sammet for the last few years. His last Edguy album was terrible. His last Avantasia was mediocre, and this one seems like it's going to be pretty bad.

Not to mention I cannot stand how pretentious he's getting.

I just listened to the samples and I think it's not that bad. Apart from Dying For An Angel I think the songs sounds quite good. At least better than The Scarecrow. :wink:

Normal human beings come here to express their thoughts on music. You come here to harass people about their personal opinions. People just like to talk, Icetruck! It may not be scientifically accurate, mathematically rigorous, or in your case, grammatically correct, but that's the way interpersonal communication works! :crazy1:

It should not be too much to ask for people to elaborate on their thoughts or continue a discussion of why they feel a certain way about the music. It’s different if they say they don't like the material, but when they say the compositions are bad, I feel an explanation on their thoughts would be more productive to a conversation.

Tobi is trying to get more American fans. I won't be surprised if he takes a picture of himself in the Super Bowl. :roll:

to me it looks like the album will have a few songs for a few different demographics and each will say the other songs are bad as the songs are different culturally.

Ok, so instead of saying "I don't like Polaris", I can say "I don't like Polaris because it has too many keyboards."

You could ask...
1) What is wrong with too many keyboards?
2) Which songs have too many keyboards? Which parts?
3) Prove there are too many keyboards in those songs and sections.
4) If you don't have anything positive to say about keyboards, stay out of the thread. You're ruining it for everyone who likes them.
5) In the other thread you said you liked Sonata Arctica, that has keyboards, so you're a hypocrite.

I see what you're saying, but this forum isn't that big. We (kinda) know the people and are interested in each others opinions.

But in essence, all conversation is truly pointless, and especially about art. Lets face it, its all subjective. Is it even possible to express scientifically what you don't like about a song, and be consistent about your criteria? I doubt it.

These guys are going “Polaris’s is awful, but it is annoying and pointless to ask why”

I’m not asking any questions of people that say they "don't like something", just those that are calling the song quality bad, and asking why they think the song is of bad quality. To me quality is a skill level question, and a skill is the ability to do a task for a specific purpose.

If the song was written for the writer to enjoy and the writer does enjoy the song, then in that context the song would be a skilled and well written song. In many other contexts the song can be unskilled and not a well written song, so I’m just trying to find the context the person is judging from if they are going to comment about quality rather than liking or disliking the song.

THIS is why most of the people in the forum dont like u....
we would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay better without you and your stupid discusions in every topic...

you attack everyone in here..

example:

Quote:

i think you should not give him another try and forget about him and not post about him. its a great deal because he is better off without you, you are better off without him, and we all are better off without people being so negative about him

"I think I should give Tobias another try, he deserves it"
and you attacked him for saying so... really.... you are a piece of shit... and I hate to insult people but you deserve it...

It should not be too much to ask for people to elaborate on their thoughts or continue a discussion of why they feel a certain way about the music. It’s different if they say they don't like the material, but when they say the compositions are bad, I feel an explanation on their thoughts would be more productive to a conversation.
dou you ask for explanation?

well the guy has spent many posts attacking tobias and his music with vulgar insults
A complete disaster

Another failure for Tobias, and counting...
What happened to Tobias? Did an angel said to him "Write and compose shitty music or you'll be damned for life" ?
and then there are other threads that continue this attacking
He’s acting like Tobias owes him something and that Tobias only succeeds if the music pleases him rather than if tobias enjoys it
