this album took 3 years to make? "dayvan cowboy" might be their best song yet, but the rest of the album is kindof boring, no? like I'd heard it before I listened to it. there's no real expansion on it.. I'm proud of them for learning a few guitar chords, but come on.. it seems like they might've shot their load w/ geogaddi.. although that's a little early of a call to make. this is like their "surrender" (ch. brothers).. I dont know if u get that.. but it reminds me of that album for some reason |

I'd also like to take this time to ask: why are your avatars always so horribly squashed? |

once you've compiled all the results from xlt members and run the data through that excel synthesis plugin, you get the new autechre album, xltrlilted. that's a fact. got it from the november issue of nintendo power. |

for your enjoyment, I present the original picture I culled my most recent avatar from. under it you'll find two possible avatars. nr.2 is how I made it, nr.1 is how you would've (most probably) made it. |

I don't know. There are some great songs on there. I aint feeling that Dayvan Cowboy at all, but I could listen to Peacock tail over and over again. |

You love it. You have a secret, special place in your heart for it. That's why you had to have your own copy. So you could totally love on it. Sitting at home, nose pressed against the window, waiting to catch a glimpse of the postman carrying a Special Package. Is that him? Is that mr. postman? It is! "Mr. postman do you have a Special Package for me?" "Sorry son. Not today" "Awww.. but i'm expecting a Special Package." "A Special Package? That sounds exciting. I'm sure it will be here before you know it. You just wait and see. And don't give up hope." "I won't mr. postman. I won't give up hope." And he didn't give up hope. He never gave up hope. |

Theo, you were sperming over this a few weeks ago. |

well, for me it is |

yeah, sorry man. your name is terrible. i guess its the 1337 element that tips it over the balance. |

I know. I don't know why the 180 all of a sudden. maybe I had only listened to what I'd later identify as the highlights of the album.. it's not that I don't like it, it's that I'm not blown away by it at all.. except that dayvan song really has me right now. this is after they did probably the best track of last year.. that clouddead remix |

"Perhaps because of the instrument's familiarity it naturally draws attention to itself, and there's no getting around that there's not very much happening with the guitar on most of the tracks where it appears. It adds nice twist, sure, but nothing more." from pitchfork. they nailed it there. a rare hit. |

dayvan cowboy really reminds me of ulrich schnauss or something. thats not a bad thing. but whenever i hear it i actully forget that im listening to boc |

Funny, I was disappointed at first, then I liked it a bit, then I didn't like it, and now I'm really liking it a lot. This LiveJournal™ entry was sponsored by LiveJournal™ |

it's a work of art, buy (like) it or not. it's not important what they did these last three years |

Holy shit I totally forgot about that part of the movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think what threw me at first was reading all the dumb exaggerated emotional shit people were writing about it, and I confused my quite justified disgust at their stupidity with my reaction to the music proper. |

This makes me think of soimething else, BING! Back in the day, for better or worse, you had a few music magazines / papers with reviews by personalities that, whether you agreed with them all the time or even liked them, you knew they knew a lot of music and that they could write. So you could make a fairly informed judgement on a record, even if the person gave it a scathing review you could tell if, for that reason, you yourself would like it. Now EVERYONE writes, no matter how qualified or with what motivation. And it just clouds the issue. And with the loathesome Pitchfork style not ridiculed but emulated in a billion loveless reviews... when will people just shut up? |
||||||||
|
|

|

True; a balance is needed between the punk ethic of DIY zines and criticism, and the current situation of everyone being an obnoxious asshole with an opinion and a blog. I blame the internets. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
"when will people just shut up?" when people stop listening |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I blame the internets. After having "Untilted" thoroughly ruined for me with the fakes and the hysteira, I didn't listen to one leak or even read that closely what anyone said about Teh Headphire Campfase, and, I love the album. Obviously the two aren't directly releated, TCH could still have been crappy regardless, but... I just want to hear the album and the artist, and not have the fanboi/anti fanboi filter on inbetween. |

I didn't 'cheat' or listen to samples or try fakes or read about the album (read the Pitchfork review after the fact, on a dare) but I'm still a bit disapointed. Made a great first impression on me with its production, but I just don't get aroused when thinking about listening to this album again. The hooks just don't dig into my skin like earlier BOC. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think it's a really "hooky" album though. of course at this point i have my favorite tracks. but i really can't, like, hum any of them... yet. There is no other release that I've been anticipating more than this one. I was dying to hear it. Usually this kind of anticipation would tend to ruin music (and movies) for me. I was a actually a little afraid that I would be let down. So the fact that I was still blown away, that says a lot about the quality of this release, from my own perspective of course. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True, yeah, I don't listen to this stuff for ''HOOKS'', per se... but the problem is, I don't find this album sonically interesting. It's solid but it sounds exactly like I expected to, and more importantly, it doesn't FEEL new. So if it doesn't have the melodies and the musical attributes... it's got nuthin' to really move me. For me, anyway. |
