A fucking wonderful little album, I like it way more than Geogaddi. The little guitar textureflourishes are so welcome, I didn't expect that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no one gives a shit |
||||||||

i think it's wonderful. i'm enjoying the guitar parts. it's all just really beautiful.... |
||||||||
|

you go |

i like tridenti's new avatar. but that aint the topic....yeah, campfire headphase is a bit of a disappointment after my first listen, too straight, way too clear production, too many guitars, not enough crispy synthlines. its like they got older and become parents or sth ; ) so far, aint thinking of it as a progress, but just a take in a different direction. still, there's time... |

it looks like an old Jedi Chris avatar. |

I keep waiting for Dido to start singing. |

It is an old Jedi Chris avatar. |

...or Chris Cornell... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do think that if it wasn't BoC who made it, I'd be a lot less positive or open minded about the music; it is a bit easy-listening in places, a bit new agey. But it's still a nice listen. :-) |

chris cornell and dave grohl were grafted together to produce a completely different and yet oddly the same chrave gronell who is resonsible for the last 2 foos albums and the fucking piece of wank that chris bothered to release for no fucking reason at all other than he had already signed a fucking contract saying he would release a piece of wank in par with the wank the the foo fighters might release in the near future. and to be fair this fucking object did exactly what was said on the contract. |

Goddamn Chravid Grolsch. You really gave him the what for, old bean! |
||||||||
|

cornell has been really busy in the past 10 years. i don't know what he's done but he's been really busy. err yeah err, comma, before i look like a flid i must say i really love 'down on the updside'. |

and superunknown is at least as good as nevermind. sorry for stupidly obvious comparison. now look here, its not my fault beverly hills 90210 is on tv. and 15 years later i still can't make my mind up who i'd rather shag, the blonde one, the geeky one, or shannon doherty. well, not shannon because she has a different face but that's in retrospect so that's cheating. and she does that other program now, that weird witches program with ironicly those other 2 dave grohl lookalikes who are quite attractive. whats it called? yeah anyway that. but i digress, no fucking way would i touch with a 10 foot poll tori 'i'm not in this just becaue of my father' spelling. i've seen better looking sheep. mind you, i have seen good looking sheep. ok bad comparison. but you know what i'm saying. |

listening to it now, very passive, bit boring |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so.. what you're saying is.. you'd like to shag David Grohl..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still like him though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

to be perfectly honest - I don't really care. |

you'd probably do a lot better on AOL chatrooms |

i like it but i feel like 1 or 2 of the 4-5 minute tracks could be removed and replaced with some of that "paranoid" BoC from days past. It needs to be a bit longer and a bit more varied, but the good moments are quite damn good. Other than that, the main complaint I have is the LACK OF SAMPLES. It's like that last Godspeed album... removing all the vocal work takes away half of the feel they have going for them. The music is still good on it's own, but it doesn't pull me in with the same power without those little interesting snippets peppered throughout. Peacock, 84 pontiac, constants are changing (which should have been developed into something bigger), dayvan cowboy and the like are quite good... some of the interludes are so nondescript though. Of course, BoC is always something that has to gradually seep into me, and this album is no different. I just don't think it'll seep quite as deep as any of the others. |

yeah, mongoloidbaby, exactly...you said mostly all of what i wanted to say. but still, more noise from me ; ) listened to it a few times more...got me a bit, but im sure it will definitely NOT touch me as deep as mhtrtc or geo. lack of disturbing samples, hell yeah! lack of psychedelia, hell fucking yeah! i have a big trouble standing this easylistening boards of canada! yes, they had 'nice' tunes before, but never shallow. here, there are a few...dont know the names, sure some will recognize them. and dont get me started about blink 182 ballad kinda start of 'hey saturday sun'!!! it would've been way better if they'd started with that synth line that came up next, and then got in with a guitar. so far only true boc i see/hear in here is in 'sherbert head' (amazing), a bit of 'slow this bird down' and in the first one, which is good as all the previous first ones were. next, boring beats...disappointment, big. remember 'gyroscope' with its fullness, strength, retained explosiveness, strange beat? and 'dawn chorus' with that seawave sample, enchanted atmosphere, detuned synth lines?..and 'the beach at red point' , 'alpha and omega'...and thats just from geogaddi. here, theres not a single thing besides those few i mentioned before...way to easy fucking music. im really harsch, i know, but they've given me strong reason with their earlier work. if mhtrtc worths 9, and geo 8, dont think this one can earn more than 3. later, a lot later, it maybe could get 4 or 5, tops. |

you know, i don't like the sounds of this the more and more i hear about it. and you know what that means? it means boctober is ruined for me, i never listened to a single track off it, yet i already know the jist of it. fuck you guys. mods, close any more new threads regarding this release, do us oath givers a fucking favor. ps - assholes. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
why do you read it then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's hard enough not to download it! fuck! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep, believe that oath is exhausting... |
||||||||
|
|

sounds like it'll be a lot more 'accessible' to the unitiated the guitars! awsome i heard they got van halen to play on 2 of the tracks, dont know which ones though regardless, this is an excellent endorsement for the instrument the beats are all similar, slower groovier wicked and the tracks sound 'emptier', less full or crowded or claustrophobic, more open etc and overall simpler, at least on first listen and the whole thing is more positive... maybe only one possibly dark track am i the only one who thinks the drums in Dayvan Cowboy sound like four tet and Sherbert Head is the best and only musical interpretation of an icecream headache ive ever heard reminds me of Iced Cooley, that earlier track that sounded like ice cream (trucks) i cant fucking wait to buy this on CD |

I got that one track "oscar see through red eye" on bleep and it's pretty good. New BoC OMG! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm gonna buy it for that alone! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i don't like it and i'm not listening to a fake just almost never like guitars. and if i want great guitar music i'll go listen to godspeed you black emperor, they do the guitar thing way better. too bad, i really really liked boards of canada uptill now. this new album i like least out of all their releases |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I suppose they wanted to try something different here. They've released quite a lot of darker music in a similar vein. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did they pull a moby to gain mainstream status with this one? no, couldn't be.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The guitars have hints of MBV about them, with a focus on the degraded and warped BoC sound. People have been saying BoC should do more guitar since Geogaddi and now they have. And its great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep. If that track's anything to go by, it'll be great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm still waiting for the official release, and I have no problem with wanting to download the leak. It kind of helps when you don't use P2P anymore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dayvan Cowboy is excellent! Great climax. |
||||||||
|
|

Sherbert Head kicks all forms of a** |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its ok... you can post it. you dont need to censor yourself here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
On AOL chatrooms? Why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the release is hardly a step forward considering the amount of time between geogaddi and this one it sounds like outtakes from geogaddi with some cliche lo fi acoustic guitar samples meandering the sequencer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
More and more i am hearing things like this and it is putting me off from listening to this leak. I am surprised i waited this long |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont torture yourself download it get it out of your system pretend it never happend and then hope the next one will be better ill buy it anyways just to have the complete discography because im a cunt like that but man it was really disappointing ive always had higher expectations with BoC though i may like it in a year |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah i just may. my interest level isnt all that high on this |
||||||||
|
