Ghostvivor: Results

Do you guys listen to it outside of the album context?

Yes.

 

[Collin]

I don't think it should be in the game. I never listen to it.

 

[Diesel 11]

Idryo.

OK wtf is with Infesstissuman? It's a cool intro track, but still an intro track. Why keep it in the game? Do you guys listen to it outside of the album context?

All those tracks should be listed like this Deus Culpa/Con Clavi Con Dio as one entry in the poll, or left out altogether.

For me, the pair of the tracks on Meliora add nothing to the album, in fact they are a hindrance, you could ignore them if they were at the start or end, but they ruin the flow.

Surprised to see so few votes for Deus in Abstentia, it's fucking rubbish, worst track so far, and it's melody is ripped off from Madness' House of Fun.

I always put it on when I spin the album. I don't skip to track 2. Good enough for me.

 

[Mosh]

Ok but I don’t skip any tracks when I put the album on. Should we just promote the whole thing?

 

[Diesel 11]

“Infestissumam” is still the best damn track on the whole album.

 

[Mosh]

I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone.

 

[Diesel 11]

The choir vocals that lead to that great guitar melody that builds and builds and it’s so great. It sets up an album that never really manages to hit that same level again (though “Year Zero” comes close) and the shorter runtime means it’s easier to hit the repeat button.

 

[Collin]

I would put almost every song above Infesstissumam. Definitely not Idolatrine or Body and Blood though.

This is fun. Sooooo many polar-opposite opinions. I, for one, like the silly pop stuff (e.g., Idolatrine, Jigolo) that a number of you evidently hate. I am a big fan of Deus In Abstentia, and @srfc despises it. This is pretty much Ghost's reputation in a nutshell. So polarizing, even on a song-by-song basis. That said, @Palpy voting against Square Hammer is simply indefensible, this early in the game.

I agree the intros and interludes should probably go out early. But it's perfectly fine that they are in the game in the first place. And I like the fact that Infestessimum will live to fight another day...

Heh, one of the ones you cited I think is pretty great, and the other I think is total shit.

When I look back upon my votes
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame

I only don't like it in comparison to other Ghost tracks. I wouldn't turn the album off early when it comes on or anything.

And my posts in this thread may have a bit of hyperbole in them as well, to retaliate for any votes for tracks form Opus Eponymous

 

[Collin]

Deus in Absentia is top 5. Easy.

 

[Collin]

I should be able to update this tonight after the Super Bowl. If not then definitely tomorrow.

 

[Collin]

Eliminated:
Death Knell
Prime Mover
La Mantri Mori

Prequelle will likely join the next round.

 

[Collin]

Genesis
Infesstissumam
Aspera
Secular Haze
Zenith

Prequelle will likely join the next round.

Awesome. I'm more excited for that album than I probably should be.

Voting for "Con Clavi Con Dio", "Stand By Him", "Secular Haze", "Ghuleh / Zombie Queen", and "Majesty".
