Sorry.
my thoughts to the tee, but i loved de-loused i just listened to it on the way home from work the emotion conveyed was so powerful.

Yeah I've seen videos of their live shows and they don't seem really good at all live. Their new album is great but yeah I agree that the singing can be really annoying at times. Aberinkula, the first song of the newest album is so annoying. But then again Ilyena, Goliath, Cavalettas, Ouroborous, and Conjugal Burns off that same album are incredible.
I've never really heard much of Sparta, so I can't really judge how good they are, but based on a video that was posted, the vocals sound really bleak.

Deloused was truly fucking fantastic though. One of my favorite albums. After that it was only sporadic excellence.

i heard that deloused was written about one of thier friends that had died in el paso, from sizophrenia, but in entirely metaphore. or something along the lines....
deloused was thier best album if you ask me, the rest of the albums just don't have the same sound or feeling. imo france the mute wasn't too bad.cygnus...vismund cygnus is a masterpiece.
