''What New The Mysterious Is This?'' - Music Chat Thread [Archived] • Page 1138

The BN vibes are crazy strong, but I don’t hear the others. I don’t mean to bash it, i do like, but immediate aoty contenders like this one is being billed as are usually quite unique, and this sounds like it could’ve come out in 2008.

Album art is eoty-worthy though :P

 

Most underrated song of the 90's alternative rock music scene:

 

how many times did you make it through? theres a lot of really unique stuff thats sort of buried. An example.. the post chorus of ore which goes from 10/4 to 11/4 to 12/4 to 13/4.. then does a 5/4 outro. the end of the canyon is in 7/4, There are very strategically placed lead guitar notes that really do it for me as well, just like really bendy type things that rub against the chords a certain way that really do it for me. I mean I totally get that on the surface this basically exists in the space inbetween TDAG and Daisy.. but I think when you look into the lyrics and dig deeper its a lot more. Just my thought and me going to bat for a record thats moved me in a way in a way that I didn't know music could anymore. I get super excited over a ton of releases but this one has done something different to me, i've absolutely loved diving into the lyrics, I think they are very good as well. Anyway, youre free not to like it I'm just stating why I like it I guess haha! :)

 

I admittedly only listened more passively so far, and I like it enough that I’d revisit it anyway, but yea I’ve gotta give it more attentive listens too.
I hope it catches on more bc I’m really glad an album like this (what I perceived as just being softer, fuzzy post hardcore) still has reach.

 

After playing it over 10 times by now personally i think it's a masterpiece.

 

The lyrics are really what clinched it for me. The excellent production certainly has a lot to do with it as well. There is so much going on in every single song. It gets better with every listen imo.

 

Yes @Larry David a live Nickelback listen may be just what this thread needs to wake itself up

 

Man, this deserves a lossless version and it's sad one will never be released. Tilian can write some killer hooks.

 

I take my twist with a shout

 

Just listened to Shrine for the 4th time. I wish this was clicking with me as much as it is with you guys.

 

I need to listen to Emarosa again. It’s been far too long

 

What new album should I listen to next?

Judas Priest
Ministry
Myles @Kennedy
Stone Temple Pilots
blessthefall
Jack White
The Sword
Field Report

Note: The album will be paused when @Larry David is ready to begin the Nickelback listening experience

 

I vote for Field Report since it's been recommended to me a few times and I'll be checking it out myself eventually.

 

i've always a had a soft spot for blessthefall but the new one is largely a snooze fest. sleepless in phoenix is a top tier track though

 

Field Report it is!

@KidLightning is the reason it was put on my list so I hope he's proud

 

I’ve heard many people praise Blessthefall. It’s in my to do list too

 

I haven't really seen anything about the new album except someone's write-up in CMCS. They're a band that I've always listened to their new releases but I would consider myself a very casual fan.

 

110% agree. Stellar track on an otherwise average record!

 

If it's bad blame @KidLightning and @awwgereee I don't think it will be tho I trust them

 

@bachna84 have you heard the new S. Carey album that's another one to add to your list if you haven't.

 

i would guess i like blessthefall more than the average user here (His Last Walk is an all-timer for me) but they've dropped with each release, its actually kinda remarkable. still usually find a few songs i really like though.

also, beau sounds incredibly bored on the new one.

 

Definitely proud! @Larry David enjoyed it too, and you can thank @Craig Manning since his review is what got me to check it out.

 

Don't blame me, I just post here.

 

I listened to it yesterday afternoon!

 

The back half of that album was my favorite - More I See is one of the best songs I've heard this year
