    Tomorrows Harvest - Today

    in Boards of Canada

    Posted

    Back last year, I was pretty vocal about my disappointment with it - which probably accounts for the the abuse on here I got as a result.

     

    I still stand behind what I said at the time. This was a very disappointing release because it seemed as if so much of it was phoned in. There were a great many tracks where it seemed like the band were just treading water and only the occasional moment of real undefinable magic.

     

    Although it was probably out of their hands, I found the whole hype thing unnecessary and it also didn't help the eventual release which didn't live up to all the pre-release hoopla.

     

    Yeah, I know it's all pain-staking work to perfect the sound and mood of a record but there is just no way a record of (arguably) middling quality should take 8 years.

     

    I still think they are best electronic band I've heard in nearly twenty years but TH rates at the very bottom of their canon, at least for me.

     

    What I find more worrying is a trend that doesn't seem to be going away - the stretches between albums is getting longer and longer and the overall quality is getting weaker.

     

    I know there a lot of fanboys on here but, well that's just the way I found it. Your mileage may vary (which of course it should).

     

     

    couldn't agree more.

     

    i listened to this album three (3) times when it first came out and never again. i thought the whole thing was extremely cheesy and sloopy and found the idea that it taken them 8 years to put together insulting

    Night of the Comet is wonderfully stoopid.

     

    this is a great film but not really a zombie movie- more like a last person on earth with like 5 zombies thrown in the scare tactics, but it does start one of my favorite scream queens: the uber gorgeous kelli maroney

    really disappointed. i thought i was going to get into this, but i found it to be a clumsy mess. it goes from people trying to do a news report about zombies to suddenly arguing about doing the news report before a bunch of cops bust an apartment building (?) where one minute they're shooting puerto-ricans and black people to suddenly burning zombies then mumbling about feeling guilty about killing the zombies before some cop is shot....
