Title: Wore me out....
Product review: This is probably one of the most over-the-top metal CD's I own. While I realize that Sigh are decade-plus veterans of the global black metal movement, I'm not sure how to treat this CD.The album has a very operatic feel, with several string/horn arrangements peppered throughout the proceedings. At times, the symphonic arrangements seem a bit overbearing, and just when I start to get annoyed with them, Sigh reels me back in with another litany of blast-beats and primal screams.My only real gripe with this album is some of the noise going on in the background (e.g.: horror clips, ghoulish cackling, etc). In fact, at times the bombast of the CD borders on campy, and I can't help but wonder if Sigh have traversed a line that turned them into a charicature instead of a true musical force with which to reckon.Maybe I need to listen to it a few more times.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
