Listening to the samples, the album is as shit as they make out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I disagree actually. Although the samples aren't great by any means, i've still heard infinitely worse music listed on boomkat which got favourable reviews. Again, subjectivity... |
||||||||

sometimes i swear people don't even listen to whatever they are listening to.. heh |

All the Secede musics I've heard until now have been rather good |
||||||||
|

|
|
it doesn't sound like anything to get that upset over, but it doesn't sound good. |

Just listened to it again and the first and third samples made me whince and the second one made me grimace. It's not that the music is that bad, it's just the sounds used are grating and I don't think it's intentional (it's not that kind of music). |

i didnt listen to the samples, i just thought it was a refreshing review |
||||||||

listening to the samples, they just sound like generic "idm" stuff, nothing like boomkat's indication. it's a funny review, though. i think they do these once in a while because they probably feel this way about a lot more releases but can't afford to slate more than a few albums. |

They're not reviews, they're catalouge descriptions. But every now and again they'll have beef with someone and slag them off. |
||||||||
|

|
That first track made me laugh, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they seem like reviews to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They appear that way, but they're selling the same releases they're writing about. 99% of them are positive, you don't get that on a music news and reviews site like pitchfork or something. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
true dat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's stuff that's so bad, it makes them look bad for stocking it. But they have to because of obligations with labels or distributors or whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's an awesome album too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
this review is way to harsh imo. don't think it's bad. I wouldn't buy it though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so apart from boomkat not being able to write positive reviews without sounding like they are just trying to sell shit, they cant write negative reviews and let personal aesthetic biases effect their irrational and irrelevant hatred towards a release they think sucks, when its actually competent? i dont see the difference. boomkat suck regardless of what they write. they support a lot of awful music and slag off good records constantly. |

it averages a review of 4.8/5 on discogs, this album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked the idea of this release |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
has anybody realised that boomkat is dissing only ex-merck artists ? tycho ? secede ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, boomkat praises EVERY and I do mean EVERY dubstep release there is no matter how crappy. and believe you me most of it is crapy as hell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I found the samples rather good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think they are just moking merck |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably Giginger's influence. Death to Merck! :D |
||||||||
|
|

I think the album's pretty good. Every time I read a Boomkat review I think a few more of my brain cells die. |
||||||||

it's a well done and nice cd, upbeat and enjoyable. honestly it's the only release on sending orbs id ever listen to more than once or twice, which may be heresy to some. kind of reminds me of jedi knights or the orb in some areas. boomkat is too busy sucking dubsteps cock, praising convoluted post rock and supporting boring, terribly produced trendy minimal techno to care about good cd's. its tough selling music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think it's that bad either, but that's just a difference in taste among human beings isn't it? |
||||||||
|
|

I truly mean it – it’s like boomkat has gone through with a tick sheet of everything you should do to have a sell-out tendy catalog; Generic dubstep– check, Paint by numbers warm pads and tinkly melodies IDM – check, Nepotism spurred breakcore releases – check, Bootlegged vomitorious remixes of Windowlicker – check, Generic Avant-garde 'Sprockets" qulity music passed off as experimental – check, Pretend academic wank fest bullshit – check. |

Its funny that they sell it anyway. |

Have you seen Tycho's ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have to say his artwork is pretty nice. but everything he does seems to be such an unashamed steal from boc. iso50 ? music 70 |

one is quite fun too.... |

Smallfish gave it a good review |

This reminded me why I didn't ask Rembrandt to paint my doors. It's a lovely Ambient release and should be rated as an Ambient release. It seems like the cover already prejudice the reviewers opinion. I do like the honesty in the review as it's still a shop that need to earn money by selling records. The cover is the weakest amongst SO releases so far imo but they can take it because all the previous covers were amazing and fitted the music so well. SORRY OUT OF STOCK! |
