Honestly, the album isn't that good. Aside from the moments of melody and acoustics, every song is exactly the same: a wall of blast beats with choppy guttural vocals. <P>Anyone one else agree?[/quote]<P>I agree. I have Icons of Evil, but for some reason I am not liking the production on it. I prefer Dechristianize and Forever Underground.[/quote]<P>IMO, the production, especially the drum production, is way better than Dechristianize. But the music is too similar. It's got some nice moments, but it's too much like Dechristianize. I prefer FU and DotA much more, but the vocals are pretty lame. Benton actually makes the last two Vital Remains' discs for me. I don't know, they are going to have to do something more - like less blasts and more variety in their songs - or next time I'm not going to bother.<P>But I did see them live in '06 - AMAZING!!![/quote]<P>Forever Underground is one of the releases I like by Vital Remians, I have burnt copies of that and Dawn of the Apocalypse. So soon I am going to replace them with originals. How is Let Us Pray by Vital Remains?[/quote]<P> <P>I've never heard Let Us Prey. But I have heard Into Cold Darkness and, IMO, it sucks.[/quote]<P>Yep. I kind of figured that.Tue, 29 Jan 2008 08:59:24 GMTBreedingtheSpawnhttp://livingformetal.com/forum/Topic27550-13-1.aspx[quote][b]BreedingtheSpawn (1/22/2008)[/b][hr][quote][b]®öttënßùchë® (1/13/2008)[/b][hr][quote][b]BreedingtheSpawn (1/13/2008)[/b][hr][quote][b]®öttënßùchë® (1/12/2008)[/b][hr]So I started listening to Vital Remains' Icons of Evil lately.
