Re: Theocracy Album battle: As the World Bleeds vs Ghost Ship

While both still really good, these are the two worst Theocracy albums

Observe, now, as Pethead makes the decision whether or not to like this comment, as while on hand he is glad someone else agrees with AtWB being at the bottom, he also does not stand for the placement of Ghost Ship

by Pethead Tue Apr 16, 2024 11:11 pm

I’ll give it a like because I get triggered by so many overrating AtWB.

I don't mind people loving AtWB; but I do mind them saying it's better than the other 4. I can't understand putting it over MoS.

by Pethead Tue Apr 16, 2024 11:16 pm

Nor can I. There are plenty of opinions I disagree with, but I understand. I do not understand the opinion that AtWB is better than MoS. It is a factually incorrect belief.

I thought you preferred GS over AtWB. Or at least put them equal.

ATWB is clearly the best.
MOS is clearly the next best.
GS is third (whilst still being brilliant).
S/T is fourth as it's top stuff, but hasn't got the depth of the other three... probably a 'not a band' thing.

I'm having real trouble connecting with Mosaic. Not really sure why, as some of the tracks are superb, but the songs just don't work for me... it may be the lyrics... I'm not sure. It could be I just haven't listened to it enough.

I think it's second best. And even though Pethead thinks it's the worst, I know he still thinks it's great. If you took off TGOM he would like it better guaranteed. But I would like it worse so I don't want that to happen

TGOM is Disney music.

by Pethead Wed Apr 17, 2024 9:17 am

It is still great. Theocracy is flat-out great, period.

1. GS best song: C or ATWAB
2. ATWB best song: ATTUG followed by TGOM
3. MOS best song: OEW followed by LTDTR
4. M best song: L,F,OM
5. T best song: SK

Tbf, BR and I are exaggerating a bit.

Disney music is usually better.

Theocracy: Ichthus
Mirror of Souls: Mirror of Souls
As the World Bleeds: I Am
Ghost Ship: Easter
Mosaic: Red Sea

Indeed. The heretics must now fall in line.

I almost picked Ichthus for the debut. “THE FLAME IS STILL ALIVE!!!”

I was mostly just trolling you, but I vacillate on this one. ATWB has higher highs and lower lows, whereas GS is more consistent. Neither get played very often and whenever I do, I'm usually left feeling meh.

That hook is one of their best

by seth Wed Apr 17, 2024 12:44 pm

Ichthus is probably my least favorite on the debut, still a great song though. The debut would easily be their best album overall if it weren’t for Mirror’s title track and Laying the Demon to Rest.
And the best track on the album is objectively The Serpent’s Kiss

by Pethead Wed Apr 17, 2024 12:46 pm

That’s my favorite of the epics. I REALLY like that chorus.

by seth Wed Apr 17, 2024 12:54 pm

The beginning of the solo through the end of the song is absolutely insane. The way the drums and guitar kick into high gear following the “whoa’s” after the second chorus, the comeback leading into the “Father bring us back to you…” part after the soft interlude, and the last chorus, all of these are Theocracy’s finest moments outside Mirror of Souls (the song)
