it was shit on the first listen..it became slightly less
shit on the 2nd listen, but still shit enough i decided not
to have a 3rd listen (yet). and this was a month ago, so it
doesn't look good for now.

Tolstoyed thinks it's shit. That's a quality-sign.

air is (was) one of my favourite bands, but this album is
just bad silly..i thought that darqel one was as lame as
they can go, but apperantly i was wrong :(

hahaha :D very well said! :D I totally agree with that,
Tolstoyeds taste is as faaar away from my taste that you can
go :D

I think its a very nice album and if not as good as Talkie
Walkie, maybe even better :D

no, it's worse than talkie walkie. cause it sounds like a
copy of it.

it sounds like talkie walkie with all the interesting parts
liposuctioned out of it.

whatever was in air that made them infinitely more enjoyable
than elevator music is now gone.

it's "more of the same"

normally i'll just pick up a new album without having heard
anything from it first, but it looks like this time it'll be
try-before-i-buy.


 

offline boozie from mont (Kazakhstan) on 2007-02-11 12:53 [#02048769]
Points: 54 Status: Lurker



not more of the same. just much much less of what made
talkie walkie a good album that you might still put on after
a few years.

pocket symphony's songs don't have any kind of drive or
hooks, there's no moments of greatness here.

Every track is washed out with sloppy attempts at making a
quiet low-key night album and basically turns to wallpaper,
but not the mood creating kind of brian eno or william
basinski wallpaper.

Well, if you're pissed off at Air, check out Sebastien
Tellier. He's on the same label I think, and sort of has
similar music--except I think he's much better.

doesn't even sound like it's worth the download. oh, air. :(

maybe a couple songs

sounds like a parody of air. what a shame, i love air but
they've certainly lost their edge.

just chuck premiers symptomes on or moon safari and let all
the pain of their new album float away..

hey guys, don't say it's shit just because i said it was
shit.

Tolstoyed (or someone else), can you do me a massive favour
and not send me the album via yousendit so that I can
listen to it too?

I won't send you something else via yousendit as a swap.

Thanks xx

Thanks for not doing that. Anything you don't want in

i hate it, Moon Safari is the only album i like by Air so
far.

not down with premiers?

i refuse to believe that this is air.
it's like someone who has no feeling of airs songwriting
tried to sound like air but lost 'it' in translation.

mer du japon is the best one on the album however, something
i would actually want to listen to twice.

terribly disappointing none the less.


 

offline tolstoyed from the ocean on 2007-02-12 02:48 [#02049017]
Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



i gave it a quick listen last night again and it just sounds
like tunes that didn't make it on talkie walkie..but not
even b sides..i agree mer du japon is alright though.


 

offline Archrival on 2007-02-12 06:03 [#02049051]
Points: 4265 Status: Lurker



im getting a bit sad...mer du japon is the worst track on it
except for track 5 Mayfair song...

track 1,2,4,6,7,8,9,11 is all very nice AIR material, whats
wrong with your taste dudes and dudettes?

have to get that album with the french singer that AIR
produced.

that Darkel album was a bit so so tho.

uhm track number 8 is mer du japon I think, so take away
that one :D

i didn't say it's shit.

we're all different mate, but i didn't like most of the
melodies/ideas.. felt empty and like they just went on
forever with no real hooks or satisfactory climaxes/endings.

I think it's nice and relaxing and kinda romantic too, but
Talkie Walkie is still my favourite Air album.


 

offline gyroscope on 2007-03-15 23:03 [#02062802]

I also think it's kinda mysterious which makes it worth
listening to a bunch of times.
