Theatre of Tragedy...
 

I love Theatre of Tragedy, and its true, they have had vary-ing degrees of quality due to shifts and changes.

Most progressive bands, it seems, have this problem. For instance, The Gathering...

but anyway, I love some songs (like 'Angelica' and 'A Rose for the Dead'
but sometimes their music makes me cringe, for instance, some of the synth in 'Venus'.

I love Theatre of Tragedy. The only albums I really REALLY don't like are Musique and Assembly. I understand what they were trying to do but the concept didn't work at all. The vocals, music, and lyrics really didn't do anything for me. I didn't like those at all. Aegis is my favorite. Then Theatre of Tragedy, and then Velvet Darkness They Gear. My favorite songs are every song from Aegis, especially "Venus" "Lorelei" and "Cassandra", "A Hamlet for a Slothful Vassal" "A Distance There Is" and "Storm". I don't have the new album, Storm, yet. But Storm sounds promising.

I absolutely love "Venus," "Lorelei," and "Cassandra." Those are possibly my three favorite ToT tunes; "A Hamlet for a Slothful Vassal" is good, too, and I love "A Distances There Is." "Storm" I never really got too into, but it was good, I'll give them that.

The music video for it, however, was beyond cheesy in my opinion.

Yes it is. The band dissolving and reappearing. *Yawns*. Lame. At least there are some good looking people in that video to distract me from its lame-ness.

A quite awesome song, I love it very much

I adore all of those songs. :]

"A rose for the dead" would be a nice funeral song >_>

Don't care about them, but going to industrial seems like it will make them better.
There's nothing 'poetic' about gothic metal. In fact, there's rarely anything poetic about today's metal, especially the 'dark' type.
It's nothing but empty imagery and a "I'm Lord Byron srsly!" complex.
It's like:
Hai guys I just compared sadness to a dead forest I'm so DEEP!

Perhaps you don't, but I see poetry in their lyrics. But whatever, I'm not here to argue anything, especially with you. I like Gothic Metal, and I think some of it is deep--that's it, plain and fucking simple.

And fuck Industrial. It's ruining them, not making them better.

You seem upset.

In lamest terms, yep. Pretty blatant, ain't it?

But why? lol, I'm invisible

People in general. That's about it.

Well I'm not people.
I'm unprocessed soylent green.
Oh wait...

Theatre of Tragedy
Theatre of Hate
Theatre of Sheep
Theatres Des Vampires
Theatre of Life
Theatre of Ice

Cinema Strange
(somebody didn't get the memo)

Hahaha!

Of course the only one's I know are Theater of Tragedy, Theaters Des Vampires and Cinema Strange.

Agreed. "A distance there is" is definately great poetry.

I love the song 'Storm' and 'A Rose for the Dead'

I wasn't too crazy about Storm (I didn't hate it though), but I do love A Rose for the Dead.

Velvet Darkness They Fear is one of the best albums known to man.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Rorschach. :D

I love theatre of tragedy but I dont listen to their new albums
I prefer their old work with Liv Kristine , as I really like Leaves Eyes and Im trying to get their all albums
My fav TOT album was Velvet Darkness They Fear
Its an amazing album and it seems that they worked hard on it

I like their first two albums. Velvet Darkness they fear is my favorite.
