Cheesy, nonsensical lyrics don't really bother me a whole lot, especially if the music surrounding it is good. And this is one of those cases. I have no fucking clue what the words I'm hearing are, but right now it doesn't matter. As long as it's not something utterly random and stupid or trying to preach to me (and I don't mean just in a relgious or anti-religious sense either), it's alright. Not bad.

I don't know... I'm also thinking I shouldn't have quoted the <i>worst</i> passage of lyrics from the album, ha, ha. It's a fucking great album. I wouldn't hold the lyrics against the big picture.

Still, it's worth a listen. Re: Lyrics Tough call. If you are a fan of Black Metal, lyrics HAVE to take a back seat. How could they not?! Sighting mentioned example, Weaking lyrics, past AMAZING song titles, Weaking lyrics aren't even available and that could be my top BM record of all time. And how many times can you hear about Satan and dark, cold woods? Hardcore lyrics have to be solid for me, but BM is about feeling and atmosphere first...if the lyrics are great, it's a bonus. HOWEVER, I do feel that packaging for BM is higher up for me than on hardcore releases because again...it's about the overall look AND feel. I'm rambling. Hail the dark grimm beast of the norse woods and his white cold emotions of frost! (That's a freebie...) Just grabbed the whole album…and it's no Weakling, that's for damn sure.

The most important thing form me is music. I won't buy CD because it have great lyrics and bad music. Or great artwork. If I don't like music then fuck off! This sounds quite interesting but it's somewhat too melodic for me. It reminds me sometimes for some melodic punk rock band or something. I must hear the rest of the album but I don't hear any Weakling, Ulver or Agalloch influences herein. And I must say that 99% of bands lyrcis are complete bullshit. Still better this than sam "oh I love Satan and he fuckes me shit". Personally I didn't read 2% of lyrics from my collection. The most important thing form me is music.

"well, yeah, the plot <i>is</i> anti-semitic, but the camera work is top-notch". doesn't work. how can i give a fuck about the music this guy makes when his mind simultaneously produces such tragically diarrheal crap for lyrics? and how can i consciously keep ignoring one part in order to enjoy the whole? just can't do it. sorry. maybe i'm misguided, but i personally just can't separate the music from the lyrics. it's like separating the visuals from the plot in a movie or something.

Am I being a whiny shit? Else: Nice cover, painfully crap lyrics. I wonder what Ørjan Stedjeberg thinks about how they kinda named the album after him. Incidentally, the Norwegian band <a href="http://www11.nrk.no/urort/user/default.aspx?id=11336" rel="nofollow">HAUST</a> are fucking fantastic.
