Emperor: Am I missing something? (C/D)

Setherial Nord is like the lost album between Nightside and Anthems.

Does sound like it, but I wish it was true of the songwriting.

I'm kind of tempted to say that metal is inherently goofy and that these parts are kidn of what makes it cool.

Yeah the silliest and most embarrassing stuff in music is often what you end up loving most. It's like musicals being inherently embarrassing for me but that's what ends up making them feel freeing and a joy. FREEDOM!

Listening to Anthems always feels like a special occasion for me. Makes me feel like I could fly across the universe.

It was my intro to the genre so it's very hard for me to think of it in any critical way

Most of those songs are three minutes too long yes but I have to say the repetition works and they bring some great riffs to the table, I’m still very fond of that record. I’m usually annoyed by such blatant copying of one specific band’s sound in literally every aspect, but for some reason it doesn’t bother me there.
