aardvark baguette Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 Screamo isn't really my thing, but I like this a lot, too. I usually dont go in for the style either. Repeat listens in it are all the more rare. The lyrics are what pulled me in to this one, followed by the use of (gasp) dynamics (not used to this w/ this genre), and also listening to it in completion was key. This one needs to be heard as an album, as far as I'm concerned. I tried skipping around and it lost some of its magic. I do hear alot of genres here though, maybe even a bit of a Pinback clean tone in places, if a bit more nasal. Guitars have a kind of Tool vibe in the soft passages, if you sped up the average Tool riff just a bit. Oh and I'm listening to it yet again...with the REL T3 subwoofer dialed in:prettyprincess:

Seems to me my favorite back then was Autobahn.

aardvark baguette Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 Jesus Christ, this is actually kind of great. Brick walled of course, but its got 3 or 4 amazing songs. I'm surprised, I usually only listen to one or two songs from their past albums. This is a protools-laden electronic-type of album, if someone like ELO made such a thing. Fantastic.
