Sorry to disappoint all, but there's nothing in this thread about that kind of pole. Rather, this is a poll about stripped down albums! Most of them are metal bands who did some quiet releases. As for the metal-turned-soft bands, I picked out the albums that stuck out the most in terms of softness from their previous discography. Personally I'm going to wait out a bit until a couple votes come in. I think bands do well for themselves when they do this sort of thing, they should do it more! ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want. |

Mine without a doubt is 12:5, I think PoS really pulled off the re-imagining of their work successfully and created a whole new experience for the fans, instead of simply playing acoustic versions. -------------

ehhh, I don't really associate the term "stripped down" with "quiet," especially not in the case of something like Part the Second which is pretty complex. |

True, not to mention Devin Townsend's Ki is filled with layers. That being said, I feel Part the Second definitely fits in the theme of the poll. Besides, I needed more entries  ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want. |
