Fun catching up on this thread and reading someone live posting their thoughts when listening to the album for the first time. Thx for that @sophos34
i went into this thinking oarsman was their only good song and so far every song ive heard is better than oarsman
This album is honestly a near masterpiece to me. Need more time with it but yeah so impressed with it.
I was just thinking about that part when I played it today the second time. Neat for sure. Can't wait to play this with a good pair of headphones
The band just posted about Bask being on AltPress - https://www.altpress.com/features/entry/new_songs_march_23/P1 Maybe this album actually will blow up?
That piano at the end of "Dialogues" that's a call back to "Monologues" gives me chills every time. I truly hope this album is the tipping point to where this band gets the recognition they deserve, they deserve it after putting something like this out.
ive always found it interesting when bands release bsides by inputing them into the existing tracklist instead of tacking them on at the end. tame impala did it with lonerism and led zeppelin gave the back half of the album a whole new dimension
In this case they were definitely meant to be integrated in the track listing which I love especially since you can tell they made sure they would all flow perfectly. And they all do.
