    I find it difficult to listen to To Zanarkand, or any song that has snatches of that in it, without hearing the skies above.
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    The Skies Above is an abomination to the art of singing.

    What is your, and others', gripe with The Skies Above? Is it just the opera+rock mix? Maybe I've been exposed to too much j-rock, but it doesn't seem that outlandish

    No, you misunderstand me, I just like it that much! I don't think there was a better voice that they could have used.
    Otherworld is also awesome, its the opposite of the original because you can actually understand what they are saying.

    That is not opera. I listen to opera. That is just horrible singing.

    Grr they ruined Otherworld and the Skies Above!!!! Should of just left the songs as it is!

    The Black Mages, first album, is pretty good though!

    I watched the Black Mages playing live the other day, and when I heard it, I decided it was crap compared to the CD versions of the tracks they played

    Uematsu looked too much like Mario in those videos
    Problems playing downloaded videos? Try CCCP

    I agree with all of you.
    I down loaded both the albums and I really liked the first album but the second was a bit of a dissapointment. After choosing vocalists like Faye wong, Rikki and Jade, you would expect the voices chosen by Uematsu for The skies above and Otherworld would be on the same level. When i burnt them onto disk i left them two out.

    BTW I love:
    JENOVA
    Those who fight further (something like that)
    Fight with seymour.

    From "the Skies above"
    Vallo Flemenco
    and Matoyas cave

    I never thought it would be my kind of music though.

    Yeah i agree with this guy. Otherworld SUCKED with that chicks voice. and when i was listening to The Skies Above i was like ok no what did they change and then that stupid dude's voice starts singing and it actually scared me at first i wasnt expecting something so stupid. I abrubtly turned it off.

    What a weird coincidence. This is the first time I've seen this topic, and I'm listening to my favourite Black Mages song. The Decisive Battle.

    I've never even heard of them, I'm assuming they do ff songs or something, what are they all about?
