Been listening to the new Plaid album (it's called Spokes for those of you who are sitting in the dark), and I'm having a hard time placing it on the map. I know there have been a few old threads on this topic, but if you had to give this album a score out of 10, what would you give it and why. Thanks mates. For some reason, this album kinda reminds me of a much much better "The Altogether" from Orbital. |

6. The DialP mix was the best thing about the release. Spokes isn't bad, it's just not all that good. |

|
|
rate the tracks in the discogy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Naw...just the album as a whole. What's this DialP business? Is this the bonus mix? Is it a special limited addition (i.e. should I order it NOW?) I give this album a 6/10. |

It's like Plaid said: Ed: "Hey Andy...ya know how Autechre have fractured rhythms, and breaks, and it sometimes sounds entirely random?" Andy: "Yeah I know what you're talkin about Ed." Ed: "Let's take that same concept except do it with our melodies instead." Andy: "Good one Ed. We can call our new album Spokes" |

you get the overall rating by rating the tracks. |
||||||||

|
|
rate it? hell no: it's figures not numbers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll accept any form of critique. Figures / Numbers / Stars / whatever. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
double figure is also a plaid album, beautifull figures that's spokes |
||||||||

I think Phob means that we all should rate Spoks in the discography. Not in an own thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Er I give Spokes a 4, Dial P 9. And I gave up doing the rating thing in the discog, it's a pain in the arse. |

One of their most boring releases. |

love plaid but as I got no money I didnt get the album yet nor did I listen to any sample |
||||||||
|
|

Dial P rocks. Myopia live in birmingham is my favorite. Is 'angry dolphin' from a previous release of theirs? |
||||||||
|

This is the best thing Plaid's done in my opinion. 8/10? I wasn't a fan until I heard this album. Go ahead, seach the MB archive, there's proof :P. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It certainly seems like their most "technical" album. Without a doubt it's a lot moodier and darker, and I'm starting to think that I might just not be used to their turn in direction. I used to dislike Rest Proof Clockwork at first because of it's minimalism. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not a big fan of plaid anyway. i thought it was nice enough but its not going to encourage me to listen to more plaid. i liked a couple of the tracks the rest were rather plain. 6. interesting what you said about the orbital comparison, i was thinking the same thing about a couple of the tracks aswell. |

7.5/10. It's good, but no double figure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It sounds way fucking better with headphones. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Just do a seach for Spokes, I'm tired of talking about it already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spokes is amazing its another album that is full of details and layers and needs time needs lots of time...just give the album a few listens..leave it for some time and come back to it appreciate it.....if anybody can listen and enjoy confield or draft then spokes is a must |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed that Spokes is amazing Marry roxers my boxers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah and to compare it to Double Figure is simply a fallacy of life THEY'RE BOTH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ALBUMS CONCEPTS AND WHAT NOT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now, is everyones' copy of spokes different in some way? Because the title of this would lead me to think that. No, I really didn't think that. I was just being picky. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you've just inspired me, I'm going to make a song with 900 different versions and give it a limited release, that's the way to go |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

yeah, i love spokes. i know its hated by a lot of people i talk to and then some, but, well, they can go eat a bunch of hogwash and etc. the reviews ive seen of it, nearly all of them, bash it in some considerable way. but when one says it lacks focus, the other says theres too much focus. nearly all of them have different favorites. most seem to come to the agreement that something is missing from it. people i talk to say it "lacks charm", but i dont think it was intended to be a playful album. so why are people comparing it to the playful works when its not like that at all really? boggles the mind. |

i like B Born Droid. 7.6 / 10 |

I concur, 'marry' should be an instant classic. :] |
