Ghost BC

[ManBurning]

Gave it a spin on my way to work this morning, live albums are kinda hit or miss. I usually like hearing live versions of my favourite songs, but this one fell flat for me. Not sure what it was, but it just wasn't doing it for me. I put my songs back on random (like I usually do) after, and 1 of the tracks came on randomly between other songs and I found it worked better hearing a standalone live track. Maybe hearing them all in a row just didn't work, I donno.

It worries me that half the magic and mystery of this band is gone now that it's just papa. I know this was recorded this year, 2017 and it's with new members, so maybe it doesn't pack quite the punch the old lineup had. That's the only thing I can think of as why this recording was disappointing to me.

I hope he can still crank out a badass record though. I'm still looking forward to hearing any new material from Ghost in 2018. I just hope I like it.

If I am correct, I believe Forge and some other guy are the main writers and performers on the records. The actual band were always just live performers.

I was under the impression that the "some other guy" you mentioned was one of the former band members and no longer part of the band. I hope you're right and "some other guy" is still writing the songs with Forge.

Pretty sure he means Simon Soderberg. He left Ghost last June.
