Wildhoney is definitely where they started to lose it in my eyes.Metallattorneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697604772912635416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5732641400554420338.post-69372248133342032492010-06-23T12:35:23.587-05:002010-06-23T12:35:23.587-05:00I suppose you need to get 2 CD players and pause t...I suppose you need to get 2 CD players and pause them both at the start of track 1, then press play <i>simultaneously</i>. Or perhaps play one on the computer and the other on CD. It's kind of a nifty gimmick, but to buy a whole CD just to enhance another one is kind of expensive. If it had been packed in with the other as a 2 CD set, that would have made more sense. <br /><br />Honestly, I doubt more than a couple dozen people have even tried to listen to them together. A better way to do it would have been to just sell a copy with the ambient noise in the background as a special edition or something. That would have gotten a lot less attention as a gimmick, though, and I think that was the real point behind it.<br /><br />As for Tiamat, I got <i>Wildhoney</i> several years back. At the time, I was finding new music almost exclusively by reading reviews from Allmusic. They were so full of praise for it that I got it. But then I listened to it, and I didn't get it. I don't understand it at all. Or, at least I didn't at the time, but I don't see myself giving it a second chance any time soon.Full Metal Attorneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818204892818121018noreply@blogger.com
