Illumination Ritual is really good. I just listened to it on Saturday for the first time in I don't know how long. I loved Great Lake Derelict, Cathedral Rings, 30 Degrees 3AM, and Barrier Islands. I'd have to listen to it some more to see how it fares with repeated listens, but right now in my relistening of this band's discography I'd say I love Low Level Owl and Two Conversations, and I like Peregrine and Illumination Ritual.
It's amazing to me how some of you don't find IR to be in their top tier. It's my fav album by them and imo very focused. They trimmed all the fat of Sagarmatha and made a bright and beautiful album with amazing instrumentation and catchy vocals
I'll have to read the lyrics to Peregrine as I listen to it next time. That one's a concept album right?
I just think Illumination Ritual is such a beautifully cohesive album. I love it's flow and I love the song writing. And as I've said hundreds of times, the drumming is top tier.
Man, I unblocked you to give you a chance and you prove to be as bad as I thought. Oh well. Lesson learned.
dude, I'm just fooling around I know I can be obnoxious, that's a trait I cannot shake - but be sure I've learned to really appreciate you guys, don't take any of this personal < 3
that is really the only song i've really checked out from them and liked... what album should i start with?
Lol @ bullying. I think it was apparent he was joking. Relax. ANYWAYS. All their albums are great! Hard to pick. IR is good but I return to the others more.
no, it wasnt. it was needlessly aggressive in an otherwise relaxed conversation. disappointed that you think its funny.
I'm confused? My point was we are on opposite sides. Maybe it is how I grew up? People I work with but his comment seemed like a non-issue to me. Not trying to be disrespectful.
I like how you talk about me as if I wasn't here LOL anyway, plz block me again, I will let you down once more and I don't know if I can take it a second (third?) time
not tryna start drama but i didn't feel like his comment was bullying or overly aggressive silly reason to derail the conversation from this amazing band we were talking about. lets get back on topic
