Thoughts on Sabaton /mu/?

They have some great songs. However they become silly if you listen to too much of their music.

I thought being silly was kinda part of their charm is it not?

Lots of potential but too goofy for me

>>72487817

Gonna agree with anon >>72487976 they are fucking trash

>>72487865

>START THE HOLOCAUST
>THE REICH WILL RISE

what did he mean by this?

>>72487817
They're like the most wussy of bubblegum power metal.

>>72488886
nah that's sonata arctica

Metal?

>>72487817
Is he a big guy?

>>72489309
for u

>>72488886
nah, they're really not

It'd never happen but I'd love to see them try and do a trad doom album with lyrics about the actual horrors of war rather than just DUDE FIGHTING AND GUNS LMAO. I think Joakim has a decent enough voice for it, and they're good enough with atmosphere to be able to pull it off.

Gimmick band

t. a guy who's only listened to a few singles

Sabaton talks about the horrors of war all the time, especially in their older albums.

Yeah, I should've actually thought about what I was writing for a change.

Something about how glossy it all sounds rubs me the wrong way. Like it almost betrays the subject matter. I guess I meant wussy sounding.

I guess it's personal taste too, but even by power metal standards it all seems a bit too simplistic. Very accessible and tame.

But hey, I don't know, I've only really heard their newer stuff, so what do I know huh?

They're great but their music gets old pretty quick .

I've listened to their entire discography multiple times apart from the most recent album, though I stopped liking them a few years back so it's been forever. I'll grant you they can be serious about things, I just wish they'd go full on a dark, horrifying atmosphere to match it and not dress it up in that kind of overly theatrical power metal style. Basically I just want an excuse to listen to them despite the fact that I don't actually like power metal anymore.

I didn't see it until after I posted, but >>72489853 makes a good point. Despite how serious the subject matter may be, it still sounds very glossy and tame.
