okay i've been reluctant to bring this up here because people seem to hate these guys for some reason. but jesus christ, who here who isn't an elitist prick absolutely loves this album? i mean, they did a great job crossing over from being pretty straight dnb to a full on rock band. sure it's poppy, it's even a bit gay in parts, but goddamn is it catchy. there are hooks here that will stick in your head for days. and they do a great job of getting all sorts of collective sounds. take the song 'the other side for instance' - it begins with that wonderful spanish horn and synth solo, moves into the dnb, then throws some hardcore punk rhythms in there, and tops it all of with an absolutely brilliant dubstep breakdown that comes out of nowhere. all my friends who have seen them live have nothing but praise - a full band setup, with guitars, basses, horns, even two drumsets (which they play for pretty much all the parts, including dnb breaks). i hope this maybe entices someone on here who had previously written them off, cuz it's a really fantastic record. |

but jesus christ, who here who isn't an elitist prick absolutely loves this album? I doubt you will find anyone as all the people I have met who like their albums are indeed elitest pricks. I don't like any Pendulum. Can't help it, just does nothing for me. |

part of my loathing of pendulum stems not just from them being awful but from the fact that they were heavily championed by that toss pot Zane Lowe. |

all pendulum fans should be rounded up, caged and sterilized with hot tongs. that's not my opinion, it's just objective fact |

The first album - yeah, dug it for a while, especially the title track which I still like. In fact most of my friends liked it too and they're probably more elitist than me as I'm the only IDM'er in a bunch of Andy Whitby stomping hardcore muppets. I thought 'Granite' was okay but the subsequent singles put me off even listening to the new album. Glam rock for the noughties, not a bad description |

A lot of my friends disappeared off to university and came back claiming to be "into drum n bass" and thought pendulum were great. Obviously any mention of any decent dnb was met with blank stares. like , , and . |

finally! from one of those other threads: "DnB for people without subwoofers." ceri is sooooo wrong about that, in silico has absolutely sublime subbass. some of the big drops are just brainmeltingly heavy. |
