Forbidden, was it THAT bad???

Re: Forbidden, was it THAT bad???

don't count on that happening, few people even know about it and those who do bash it cuase a rapper has a few sentances of spoken word or because of the production.

Re: Forbidden, was it THAT bad???

You see.. my thoughts is that this album will become a classic!

Re: Forbidden, was it THAT bad???

Mine is the title track, Illusion of Power (yes with Ice-T) or Can't Get Close Enough to You.

Re: Forbidden, was it THAT bad???

The production killed it for me, still besides that it's damn good. I used to bash it when I first heard it, but then I listened to it again a few weeks ago and listened to the whole thing without turning it off. My favorite song is Shaking Off the Chains

Re: Forbidden, was it THAT bad???

They were good...I like Forbidden I listened to the entire album today, along with Deep Purple's Machine Head and Fleetwood Mac's Dance...(I like Fleetwood Mac, so what!)

The things I don't like are: the sound. Sometimes it seems like Martin is singing in the bathrum. The guitar sound is raw and unpolished, the bass is sometimes inaudible some songs lack catchy melodies.

Fron 1-10 Forbidden gets a 7 from me. As a comparation:

Eternal idol: 8
Headless Cross: 10000000000000000000000000000000000
Tyr: 9
Cross Purposes: 8
Forbidden: 7
Dehumanizer (not Martin, but I must bash it) : -888 (yes, negative points)

I wonder how this album will sound when/if they remaster if!... I mean, they have the master tapes, it just need a decent produtor! Who was the guy that produce Headless Cross? Now, that's a AWESOME production and sounding!

Cozy Powell and Iommi my friend !

Re: Forbidden, was it THAT bad???

i really don't think the cd was bad at all. i really like it except for the ice-t track. outside of that i really like the title track and sick and tired. what a cool bluesy song! a definite replay button hitting tune! i think rusty angels has a cool riff as well.

Re: Forbidden, was it THAT bad???

There are a lot of songs I love on this album but the production is ruining it for me. Great tunes but crappy sound.

In fact, I hated this album until I first heard bootlegs from this tour. Once I heard the songs live, I went back to my CD and it grew on me. Once you realise the music is good, you can go pass the bad production I guess.
