lots of stuff. as long as it sounds nothing like the open door, i'll probably like it.

Well, that's good because Emilie Autumn sounds nothing like The Open Door.

i'm expecting something like a slightly darker, more industrial version of rasputina. like, old rasputina, before the got a drummer. mood-wise, that is. they got heavier when they got a drummer, and that's partly what i expect. and that probably makes no sense.

and i'm not sure i trust billy when it comes to female musicians. he's totally fucking in love with courtney and that makes me wish i had longer legs so i could kick him in the face. but this girl is way hotter than courtney love ever thought about being, so there's a glimmer of hope.

I've never listened to Rasputina. What are some older songs of theirs I could listen to so I can compare?

ZER0

transylvanian concubine, my little shirtwaist fire, howard hughes. those are all from an album called thanks for the ether.

i would imagine that there's a remarkable difference in the sound itself, since they're two different aritsts. but i was thinking the general mood would be similar.

i already ordered the album, so i'll find out in a few days anyway. so it's not like i'm asking for anything other than just to satisfy my own curiosity.

I've been curious about Rasputina for awhile now but I never seemed to get around to listening to them. This gives me an excuse to. Hahaha... So I've listened to a little bit of them now, and I'd say a more industrial-ish Rasputina is a good way to think of Emilie's music. Not necessarily darker, though. Some of the songs may be darker but not all of them. Google "Enchant Microsite" and look around on it. You can listen to songs from her album Enchant on there.

i've listened to how strange and chambermaid. i bet she's really interesting live.

p.s. thanks

veinsofglass

Yes. She'd be very interesting to see live. Opheliac actually comes with some bonus videos, including parts of a live TV performance.

Edit to respond to your edit : No problem!

i thought about getting the combo with the cd and the magazine, but i didn't think it was wise to spend that much on an artist i've never even heard. i may end up regretting it. but i look forward to seeing the videos,too. that cd will probably keep me company on my way to peoria this weekend.

That was probably a good idea actually. I think you'll either love her music or be kind of "Meh....." towards it. You can always order the magazine from Orkus (I'm pretty sure) if you end up liking Emilie Autumn.
