Keddie Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I've listened to the new album three times through so far, and I pretty much love it. It's more experimental, and definitely in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected]. Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The album is nothing special but I like it and I think it is very nice. The more I listen to it the more it is growing on me. They improved a bit and I love how they made those cracking and pushing sounds combined with ambient elements! It is perfect for chillaxing!!! And I agree with Justin that "It's definitely the part where you pick up your joint and re-light it." :wacko: It is definately an album I can always listen to without getting bored.

Black Rose Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 I would get tickets to the Bristol show (closest to me) but it's at the Colston Hall which isn't the best for his type of music, there is no-way it will be the old-church I saw him in. *downloads album* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 So I listened to it last night, and a bit more today. His choice of timbres throughout most of the album is awesome, as is the way in which he blurs the line between folk and pop (shown in his use of low vocals). That said, I was dissapointed by the closing stretch. Wash. comes off a bit contrived, with the repeating piano and sentimental vocals, its just not particularly interesting, despite the usual tricks. While Calgary and Beth suffer (imho) from the use of outdated atmospherics and pop sensibilities. It may have worked for Peter Gabriel, but the keyboards and accompanying instruments in Beth especially reminds of poorly produced eric clapton pop songs. The cheesiness just makes both songs emotionally inaccessible to me, which is a pity because he seems to be pouring a lot into the vocals. Perth, Holocene, and Michicant are great tracks though, and its cool to see him stretch beyond the basic acoustic guitar and keyboards of for emma.

iPsy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 The new album seems to be more like a full body of work, as opposed to an album with very different songs which could be singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
