An album that leaves me with very mixed feelings. Halfway innovative masterpiece, halfway boring directionless filler. Wildhoney is considered to be Tiamat’s best release, as well as the one where they found their signature Gothic sound. It’s aesthetically unique and many steps ahead of the game, leaving a lasting impression on the Gothic Metal world. But can it back up that legacy?
Calling Wildhoney “Gothic Metal” is only correct because it’s the closest thing to a unifying sound found here. Less than half the runtime is Metal – the rest is a mix of Ambient, Darkwave, Rock, and Psychedelia. And therein lies the verdict. You see, the Metal here is great – particularly the doomier stuff, like Visionare. This track mixes some crushing Death Doom melancholia with the prettier and more ethereal Gothic Metal pretty much invented on this album. A great track, and the other Metal tracks aren’t far behind.
The weakness lies in everything else. Nothing against those other genres of music, but none of the songs are done particularly well. The album doesn’t sound like a super creative mix of many styles; rather, it sounds like a few great Gothic Metal tracks and then a bunch of filler stuff that was easy to put together to fill out the runtime. None of the ambient or darkwave stuff is memorable, and the last track which is an odd combo of Psychedelic Rock, Ethereal Wave and Folk doesn’t have nearly enough going on to justify an over 8-minute runtime.

동양적이며 서정적인 멜로디, 광활하고 환상적인 연계적 구성으로 Progressive Gothic Metal의 지평을 연 스웨덴 출신 밴드 Tiamat 최고의 명반 Wildhoney 이다. Art Rock 매니아들을 포섭하고도 남을 만큼의 깊은 음악성을 지니고 있는 본작은, 신비스럽고 긴장감 넘치는, 예술적인 경지에 가까이 다다른 필청반이다. 지극히 화려하고 색채적이면서 온화한 느낌의 전개를 보여주는 감동적인 트랙 Gaia, 중반 기타솔로가 압권인 Visionaire 등 전곡을 강력하게 추천한다.

the first significant change in the band's style, presentation and sound. Part of the album is excellent, but the second part is rather average.

There's some great music on here and a bunch of filler too. I'll be happy to play this again and skip a bunch of parts. There are also some lyrics that are painfully corny here. I was squirming in agony. I like to quote lyrics to so you can see which ones I mean, but I also like to avoid my computer screen from catching on hellfire because of the awful writing....

28 years have passed... and still one of the most epic metal albums of all time

Amazingly tasty and colorful riffs here, imbued by the unique Gothic essence of Tiamat. Simply put, the songs are not for one-time listening. Cause you just can't.

서정성을 극대화한 익스트림을 듣고 싶다면 이 앨범을 들으면 된다. 절규하는 듯한 보컬과 심금을 울리는 멜로디 한올한올이 잘 어우러져있다.

고딕메틀과 아트락을 섞은 것 같은 묘한 분위기를 내고 있는 음반으로 고딕계열의 상징적인 음반. 초기에는 아방가르드한 데쓰메틀 사운드를 들려주다가 전작부터 고딕적 색채를 적극 도입하기 시작한다. 독특한 흐름을 보이는 기타솔로도 감상포인트.

odlišné od predošlého, aj keď čiastočne pokračuje v nastolenej ceste. Striedanie atmosférických a tvrdých doom/gothic metalových častí, spev sa posunul iným smerom, aj keď naďalej je skôr tvrdý/miestami akoby hovorený, no nie je to už žiaden growling
