Coil - A Guide for Beginners – the Voice of Silver (Пособие Для Начинающих: Глас Сéребра)

first listen disclaimer/I also rated this on rym and gave it 3.5

This is a very good listen. It's very atmospheric and has a very neofolk feel.

Sol Invictus - In the Rain

Tbh I don't really get the criticism of his vocals. Yeah they aren't the most expressive vocals ever. Tbh I haven't listened to a whole lot of DI6 and sol invictus but I don't think his vocals are *that* much worse than Douglas P. If you don't like sort of monotone vocals then you probably won't like this/find them off putting but if they don't bother you this albums still worth a listen.

The first track to me is lackluster however it picks up towards the end of the album and I do enjoy track 2.
Overall, not my ... read more

first listen:

I didn't think it was too bad on a first listen. The production was pretty bad (very muddy) however apart from that it was fine. The track titles are definitely cheesy though (I feel like going for modern slang in lyrics is always a bad idea-in 30 years it will be like victorian English). The lyrics you can barely hear (production). There's a lot of discussion on the vocals being bad however I couldn't really hear them much due to the production.
