Thread: Midnight Syndicate's "Carnival Arcane"

Tweet

Ive yet to purchase my copy, but i was really hoping that it would surpass Nox Arcana's carnival album in every way. Maybe it does. More music and less sounds is what I prefer.

i would say that MS's tells a story using more music with a fewer sound effects than NA's version...... NA's is more of a darker circus theme & MS's is more of a "real" carnival coming to town thru a few sound effects & more musical.....
best way to put it
I've been playing it a few more times & it has been growing on me.

I'm glad, Dark lord. Still not the case with me

I will say I don't feel it's as good as they're earlier work, this ones just.....different.....

I just gave the cd a quick listen. I must say, it contains a very beautiful atmosphere and is perfect for anyone wanting to do a circus themed haunt. I was surprised to find that it contained a lot of sound fx, which actually reminded me of Gates of Delirium. "Kiddieland" is probably the creepiest song on there, and it bears a striking resemblance to the Pet Sematary theme. There is also a lot of Danny Elfman influence here, especially with "Twisted Labyrinth". I do wish the album contained more songs, but I gotta give them credit for doing such a great job with the sound fx. The album as a whole is more playful than scary, and overall is a great cd.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of concept albums I really dig this one. I'm not convinced MS can put out anything and I'd probably like it.
