Free Music Notes for World of Glass
Free Music Review: Death Metal can be pretty!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow, I'm not very fan of growling, and this Tristania album, i don't know if it's true, but what it seems to me, is the one with less growling, and more Vibeke's angelic voice, and that's definitly a highlight! Try only to listen "Deadlocked", and you'll understand what I mean!!!
Althrough it has growlings, there not bad at all, and all togheter (growlings, Vibeke's voice, choir, instruments) is really beautiful! If you're a Simphonic/Death/Gothic Metal fan, give it a try!
Free Music Review: The best CD EVER!
Hit: 5 Stars
Of the three Tristania CD's I own, this is by far their best. "Tender Trip on Earth" is a song for the ages. I sing it my sleep.Free Music Review: World of Glass
Hit: 4 Stars
I was disappointed, though not surprised, at hearing the "new" Tristania. Obviously, with Morten having left the band, their sound changed quite a bit. While I prefer older Tristania and Sirenia to this, it is not a bad album.
Tristania had set very high standards for themselves with Widow's Weeds and Beyond the Veil, and this album does not quite measure up, but, when compared to other bands of a similar sound, they do very well on this album.
If you liked the first two albums, it may take awhile for this album to grow on you, however, it is certainly deserving of a listen and a fair chance. If you were not as fond of the growls on the first two albums, you may even like this one more.
Free Music Review: Tristania hardly suffer from Veland's departure at all
Hit: 5 Stars
OOH, I love this album! Tristania have proved that they can survive without Morten Veland - their former megalomaniac guitarist/growler and songwriter by creating World Of Glass - quite an amazing album really. World Of Glass sounds like a natural progression from Beyond The Veil. The only thing that seems to have suffered from his departure is that the new growler, Ronny Thorsen, isn't as good as Veland. Vibeke Stene's voice is as enchanting as operatic as ever. Osten Bergoy who has had am few singing parts with Tristania previously has written several songs for this album which shows his talents don't just stop at his delectable voice.
Gregorian chanting and choirs have been used a lot on WoG, singing in Latin. This, combined with other Gothic, black metal, folky and techno influences makes World Of Glass a very interesting, atmospheric, unique and varied listen - it doesn't feel like one long track as many albums do.
As on their previous 2 releases (Widow's Weeds and Beyond The Veil), Tristania have used Pete Johansen on violin in most of the tracks and he plays so beautifully, especially on "Wormwood".
The lyrics are thought provoking and often melancholic - especially on the tracks Deadlocked and in Selling Out "I'm running out of steps to walk. Of air to breathe and words to talk. I'm running out of noise to make. Of jokes to tell and hearts to break".
You NEED to have this CD in your collection, but I must warn you, you may become obsessed by it... ooh noooooooooooooo!
Free Music Review: gothic metal brilliance
Hit: 5 Stars
Amazing! I heard other Tristania albums and thought them to be just OK, but this album changed my opinion entirely! The vocals are done masterfully, and the music is superb! Overall, a great album for gothic metal fans or fans of any kind of muetal, really. I could even see this appealing to non-metal fans as well.
