Post subject:  A Fine Day to Exit - A Natural Disaster

Anyone else disagree with the reviews they got on this site? I like these two albums tremendously when I'm in for something light, and I think the reviewers here failed to see the point in these albums.

I really enjoyed A Fine Day to Exit, A Natural Disaster on the other hand I thought was pretty medicore. Both are infinitely better than Katatonia's last two borefests, though.

A Fine Day to Exit is a great album, IMO.

I agree on all points.

I haven't heard all of A Find Day to Exit, the songs I did hear were cool though.

A Natural Disaster I have only listened to once, a few of the songs jumped out at me and a few didn't. The title track and Closer (that's the one with the distorted vocals, right?) are great songs.

I'm glad you guys have also reached the maturity not to bash this band for its inability to be confined by the whiny presets of their first couple of albums. I find it strange when people call Anathema sell-outs - when did they sell out, I wonder? Would it be the ballad Far Away on Eternity? The rebelliously short Empty on Alternative 4? Or the entire excellent-yet-not-doomy-in-length-at-all Judgement album? Do tell me.

I actually liked their first few albums. And I never thought of them as sell-outs.

I love all of their albums and own every one. Eternity is shit though, to much Floyd wanky shit for me, Evereve's Stormbirds is in the same vein but better.

Great band any way you look at it; but I fault no one for finding their latest stuff boring. It's definitely something you need to be in the right mood for, not exactly what you'd call "any time" music.

I should probably have pointed out that A Natural Disaster can't touch Eternity and Alternative 4, those albums are amazing. I haven't actually heard either of the Doom full-lengths, but I have that compilation of Pentecost III and Crestfallen, which is pretty cool.

One of the coolest album covers I've ever seen. :dio:

Yes, Travis Smith is a rare talent. I prefer his work on Opeth's Deliverance/Damnation albums, though. That mood is spot on.

Agreed. There are a lot of very, very talented graphic artists out there, but Travis is very unique among them.

Its a very cool cover, every time I see it I pause to think "...what?"

Anyways, I listened to it again at a friend's house last night. Cool album, but I definitely prefer their mid-era stuff.

A Natural Disaster is great mood music; it can be incredibly tiresome to listen to at the inappropriate moment, but when it clicks... oh man...

A Fine Day To Exit, I don't see what's the problem with that one; I could only fault it for being not quite up to par with Judgement, but hey, what is?
