Alright, i saw no thread for this band, so i decided to make one, even though i don't have much knowledge of them. So by starting off this discussion, i'd like some tips on what CDs i should concentrate more upon. I do believe i have everything they have released (excluding the best of...s), so i won't have any obstacles.

I have known about the band for about half a year, but there was one thing that always put me off. It was the vocals. Maybe i stumbled upon the wrong tracks, but today, when i decided to give them a try again, i was extremely happy when the vocals didn't annoy me. I knew before that i liked the music, but the voice...i couldn't get around it. Anyways, i started today with their latest CD (Suffer Our Pleasures) and then i passed on to For the Glory of Nothing. I haven't listened to either of them fully, but the songs that i've heard are really good. They keys stand out because they have a rather unique sound. I can't really similarize them to something others have done. I mean, Kamelot and Children of Bodom have a few key parts that are like totally the same. Tarot's keys just sound...different and cool. The guitars are also noteworthy and the vocalist seems rather talented actually.

The playlist just skipped to the song I'm Here from For the Glory of Nothing and the first thing that came to my mind after hearing the first few seconds was Korn While i find the information slightly disturbing and the distortion of the vocals of the song even more, it has a good pace and is enjoyable for the most part.

Anyways, discuss away. From the thread in the old version of metalstorm i read something along the lines that "Tarot is a metal classic that everyone should know". I dunno how much truth is in that, but i sure don't think that listening to this music will take a piece away from someone. It will more probably leave a memorable experience, which i'm thankful for.

Best heavy metal vocalist from Finland. "Suffer.." is very amusing album, their earlier stuff (I lent the compilation from library) was a bit harder to get into... the new, heavier style suits them well. I need more cd's.

Btw, check their latest video if you haven't yet:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_U1cS-VTPU

I really love this band. Marco's vocals are absolutely great, so much so that I lament how little his talents have been used in Nightwish.

So not worth getting then? I was looking forward to this one as well. What's so wrong with it?
I can't exactly tell you what's wrong yet because I only listened to it once for now. Right now, all I can say is that it sounds forced and uninspired. The keyboards are there for nothing while Marco's vocals which I normally dig massively generally lacks the "Power". Gone a bit more towards the Heavy Metal side as well, which is not nessecary a bad thing when done correctly, but I don't think they did. I'm going back to "Crows Fly Black" for the time being and listen to "Gravity of Light" later in the week again

I've heard the single and it didn't blow me away, I am a big fan of the previous two albums and the live DVD is good as well.

How did you get it early I thought it came out in another month?
I'm a huge fan of the previous two albums too.
Anyway, I downloaded it illegally as normal, then would buy if I like it (and see it physically in a shop). But I obviously won't buy it unless sth drastic changes my mind

I've now heard it all on Youtube and I really like it. It is an equal to the previous two albums, the production sounds bigger, maybe a little less aggressive.

I will be getting this on release.
you serious!? I'll probably re listen to it soon and make another verdict
