Title: Obituary - Dying Of Everything
Post by: Pagan Saviour on November 20, 2022, 01:45:59 PM
Got sucked in by the admittedly awesome artwork, but Jesus this is dreadful. It's the same riff, decades on!!!!

There's so much great music coming out from younger and hungrier bands there's little need to be wasting time with this shit but when one of the (former) greats drop something I can't help but at least give a quick listen.

I'd have said that their recent self titled one was their best since The End Complete.

Really? I thought that one was especially weak.

I enjoyed it, first one that held my interest for years. That said, I haven't listened to it for a long time.

They said everything they had to say by the end of Cause of Death. Everything released since has been pretty much interchangeable shite.

Love the first three, no real interest in anything since. John Tardy still sounds brilliant though

Have to say, I don't think John sounds great. He's got the art of it down, so it sounds ok but he's been coasting for years. Put on Cause or Slowly and you'll see what I mean. I think he gets away with it because his voice is so unique.

Unfortunately that's it really. I do enjoy End Complete and to a lesser extent World Demise, at least they tried something a little bit different on the latter there.

I'm not sure I'd call thus dreadful now. It has the patented Obituary Groove, but yea, there are other bands doing better. Frozen in time was the last album I actually bought by them

Might not be dreadful in terms of production, sound, playing etc but as somebody pointed out earlier, they said all they needed to say by album two.
