Ghost announces new Album "PREQUELLE"(June 1st), First Single "RATS" available now.
- Thread starter Nakenorm
- Start date
I thought it was going to be an album filled with "Dance macabres" which I hated, but it's surprisingly an album filled with "He is"s. The last track is specially fantastic.
I love their art, but damn they are just so lame sounding. I just can't stand the lead vocalist at all.. he makes the nice riffs sound soft. Never understood the love for this band. I get it's sort of a throwback.. but it's weaker than the stuff it's trying to pay homage too.
NEW GHOST OMGGGG
Went nuts after my phone notification
Halfway through listening now, yeah I can see it might be divisive to some but it's so much fun. Their tunes are so memorable and the lyrics are charmingly ridiculous. Love Ghost.

Easily the best songs. Add Helvetenfonster and you get the "consensus" highlight tracks.
I feel like Witch Image had everything going for it but the chorus let it down. Which is sad.
Wow, Ghost had to cancel their sold out in progress concert in Milwaukee tonight because a fan collapsed. That story doesn't say it but I'm seeing concert goers online say that he died at the venue. RIP to him and condolences to his family.
Yeah I heard from a person who was there that security didn't know CPR and there were a couple RNs that offered help but security wouldn't let them help and made him wait until EMTs arrived.
Didn't hear that he died but I figured that was the case.
That is really sad and condolences to his family.
According to some people, he collapsed between Pro Memoria and Deus in Absentia...
Some really fantastic output on this album. The production and arrangements just keep rising, and the theatrical element is through the roof. I do feel like some of the actual song material isn't as strong as earlier records though. It starts fantastic, but I kind of fall off a bit towards the end.
Faith is indeed awesome. Fantastic riffs and solos. The one tiny thing I don't like is the "yeah" and the "ha" that comes in two places, but oh well.
Just listened and damn it's great, might be their best yet. Also kicking myself for putting off getting tickets to see them as they are sold out in St Paul tonight.
It's decent enough, but it's no Meliora lets be real.
From live videos I have seen, the new look is not working at all either tbh. Miss me with that none papa shit.

Faith is the kind of song where no matter how loud I can stand to listen to it, I want to see if I can somehow make it LOUDER. After listening to it 3 times it's already one of my favorite Ghost songs.
the sax is so good. more songs, in general, should have a sax.
same. one of my favorite songs.
I should have guessed that.
Not sure how I feel about a 10-track album with basically three instrumentals (if you count Ashes, which is being generous). I knew when they announced the tracklist a month ago that the album was going to be shorter than I hoped, but I didn't expect three non-vocal tracks.
I'm not saying instrumentals are without value but I do prefer lyrics. This might turn out to be my favorite Ghost album so far, but its length is a strike against it. Infestissuman was my prior favorite and it just feels more dense simply because it's longer.
Pro Memoria is really...sobering lol
This album is perfect to me. I just recently got into Ghost and it's been an awesome experience discovering new music again. Faith is definitely one of my favorites. Loved it ever since I heard it live.
I dig Cardinal Copia as a character too. Something about him just comes across more sinister to me than Papa.

When I saw them a couple weeks ago, they actually had this dude playing it:
So at least they're totally bought into it.
Hahaha that's amazing. I do wanna experience some of these songs in a live atmosphere. Still haven't been able to catch them when they roll through town yet.When I saw them a couple weeks ago, they actually had this dude playing it:

When the sax rolled in I smiled. He plays the kazoo of destiny in live shows, so it shouldn't come as a surprise.
Pet Shop Boys - It's a Sin
and
Leonard Cohen - Avalanche
I haven't seen them live sine their Infestassuman days, and I just loved that satanic cult vibe. It was incredible. Now it's very different and more like a satanic musical. I wonder how different the experience will be when I see them again this summer.
I think we're getting an EP or new album quite soon after this. The whole "Cardinal is not Papa" and the sound difference makes this seem like a stopgap.
OK that's creepy.

Is he actually playing it? doesn't seem so from this
I only discovered Ghost by accident around the end of 2016 iirc. Since then, it has become one of my favourite bands so i counted down the days until this new album. I just had a quick listen on Spotify and... i'm not feeling it at all. A few good songs among a lot of mediocre songs, it seems. Never thought i'd say this but i might skip this one. It's not the direction i thought they would go in when they said the album would be darker... really dissapointed actually. I miss the heavier sound from previous albums. I'll have another listen to see if i'll change my mind.
He's not actually playing live, it's piped in.
This album is fantastic. Very cohesive and the song-writing I feel has reached a new level. Loved the theatrics and operatic feel, it established a great atmosphere and kept building and building to Life Eternal. Need to give it a few more listens to find out where this one sits, but first-time through I'm loving it.
