The Politics of Ecstasy - Wikipedia Best viewed without Internet Explorer, in x resolution or higher. An amazing album that did a great job of evolving the power metal and thrash genres in a very creative way. The songwriting, riffs, and vocal melodies are very The Politics of Ecstasy. It's clear that Warrel Dane is singing about The Politics of Ecstasy he really believes in here from his The Politics of Ecstasy delivery. The drumming is high-quality throughout. This album might appeal The Politics of Ecstasy fans of Forbidden "Distortion". I subtracted a few points over a few issues. First of all, let me be clear that I don't believe any album is perfect. I believe there is always room for improvement for musicians to strive for. My rating reflects that belief. The terrible album cover doesn't do justice to the brilliance within. I also would not have begun the album with "Seven Tongues of God" as it is not one of the best songs on The Politics of Ecstasy album. It messes up the flow of the disc. Also, after "The Tiananmen Man" is starts to feel a lot like filler but by then they have already offered something very impressive. It is considerably better and darker than their debut album, the self-titled "Nevermore". Nevermore has such style and skill and I am glad they pumped it up here. They do such a good job showing their different sound and style. Jeff Loomis has improved the most since the first album definitely. In my review of "Nevermore", I said that while the guitar solos were excellent, I couldn't give the title of 'impeccable' to it? That is one of the main reasons I liked this album better than the previous. Jeff Loomis just does a lot more in this album. This album is quite considerably dark, something Nevermore is known for. We can start by looking at the album cover. Nuff said about that. Then, in the last seconds of "The Seven Tongues Of God", there is a spoken line after the song is finished which speaks, "If God The Politics of Ecstasy exist, it would be necessary for man to make one. Then, an eerie voice creeps in and talks about many subjects revolving around freedom and ecstasy. There's quite a bit of it so I won't quote the whole thing. In closing, also about my review of the album previous to "The Politics Of Ecstasy", you might see me say that there was something missing. Well, the guitar solos on this album cleared that up a The Politics of Ecstasy, but there's still just something missing. I've been thinking about this for quite a while, and I think I know what is 'missing'. Nevermore has influences from the music around it at the time, which was the 90's. So now that I think of it, perhaps it's not something that is missing, but rather something The Politics of Ecstasy maybe should be taken out. However, maybe this is just the band's style. After all, I really like Nevermore and maybe I should reconsider if there really is something missing. I mean, what album are you even listening to?! Make no mistake folks, this is seriously one underrated gem in the Nevermore catalogue. This is balls-out metal with plenty of post-thrash influences in the riffing. Additionally, to anyone who had The Politics of Ecstasy doubts about Jeff Loomis being a guitar god in his own right, listen to any song on this album and be floored. Not many top-notch guitarists out there can boast of being able to write kickass riffs AND solos, but he is most certainly one of them. With him at the guitar helm along with Loomis, it is clear that this album has a much darker and more brutal tone than the other albums. Rarely again has the death metal aspect a smidgeon of influence, if you will of the music of Nevermore been so prominent and obvious. Plus on their other albums, the guitar tone was more polished whereas on this one, it is dirty The Politics of Ecstasy raw portraying the sheer fury of the band perfectly. This features one of the best clean vocal performances of Warren not to mention a boatload of doomy riffs along with a killer guitar lead bit kicking in at that repeats throughout the song. While Dreaming Neon Black was overflowing with bitterness and a somber tone, on this album, the doomy vibe is mixed with a relentlessly groovy death metal guitar attack that clearly shows that these guys were exceptionally fucking pissed off back then. Sure, This Godless Endeavor and even Enemies Of Reality portrayed that very anger to a certain extent, but not with this level of brutality and doom influence in the guitars. You only have to listen to the pounding title track for further proof with a heavier dose of dissonance in the guitars as compared to their other songs plus a powerful searing performance from Warrel Dane. Each and every one of us are inexplicably feeding the dirt and politics of the system and we hardly even realize it. And sure, The Politics of Ecstasy totally get the fact that the vocals of Warrel Dane R. P may be a bit of a turn off for people not accustomed to his vocal style before. Believe me when I say that when I first started listening to Nevermore, I was one of those very people myself, simply unable to fully enjoy the music due to my inability to appreciate and enjoy his unique style of vocals. Not to mention the fact that on this album, his vocals are even more inaccessible compared to their other releases. However, repeated listens converted me into a fan of his vocal style. So do be patient and give it time to sink in. Check out that incredible riff progression kick off at Fucking sick. At the end of the day, this is a kickass metal album that any fan of thrash, death, groove or progressive metal should dig. As far as the definitive Nevermore album, you can be sure of the fact that this is right up there with Dreaming Neon Black and This Godless Endeavor as one of The Politics of Ecstasy best. The Politics of Ecstasy you are yet to hear it, you are seriously missing out. Pick it up now! Sanctuary were a big thing The Politics of Ecstasy my friends and fellow metalheads so I had to try them out one day. I liked them, but not to such a big extent as I found other representatives of the US power metal scene more appealing like Riot, Helstar, Attacker, Crimson Glory, etc. I found it a more or less natural progression from the last Sanctuary effort only that Warrel Dane had lost the higher registers somewhere, to these ears for the better. Well, the continuation of the Sanctuary sound with an even darker, doomier twist was hardly my perfect idea about musical entertainment. The shadow of Sanctuary was nicely outgrown, and the guys have embarked on a journey through the meandering labyrinths of the modern progressive metal arena with thrash, power and doom metal standing by, always willing to assist whenever needed. The flashes of technical genius exhibited on the mentioned songs remained just that, flashes; the guys The Politics of Ecstasy attempted a full-blooded exercise in technical thrash The Politics of Ecstasy which they by all means possessed all the requisite skills. Will the guys attempt working on both fronts the way King Diamond and others have in the past? Sacred cows, be they made of gold or meat, are best when ground up into small pieces and then force fed to those that worship them. There is perhaps a tinge of irony involved in using this analogy in reference to Nevermore, a band that sort of planted their flag on bitching about politics and religion, yet struggled to write a decent song while doing so, but it is profitable to turn the tables on these would be iconoclasts in the name of better The Politics of Ecstasy. As a band that was at the forefront of defeating the purpose of good musicianship, these Seattle based wannabe rebels started on a tame yet somewhat respectable note with their somewhat backward looking debut self-titled album, so their true genesis as a force for modernity in the present sense lay somewhere between that album and what came later, though most tend to point to the EP In Memory that preceded their sophomore effort as the point The Politics of Ecstasy germination.
