I felt like I was experiencing TH overload so I decided to give it up for a few weeks. Listened again for the first time yesterday.
It's still fucking excellent.

not really a burn, if you understand English and the context. Marcus seems to be actually agreeing with fumi
Huh? He says pretty directly that having a negative opinion about something simply because it's popular in the mainstream is insane.

Getting a twin peaks vibe on the more ambient parts.

What's frustrating, is that the first 3 tracks were co-produced with Daft Punk. The beats are exactly what I would expect out of the group in 2013, not some silly boring pseudo half disco half boring slow R&B.

I think it's some sort of chopped up religious hymn or chant

I totally get there are and will be a wide range of opinions about Tomorrow's Harvest. But I don't get all the people who are dissatisfied because it's not like this album or that album. Or it's missing this particular sound or that particular feeling from previous work. If that's the way you listen to albums then of course you're likely to be disappointed.
This applies to life as well as it applies to new music: be in the moment! Be ready for whatever's coming next. It doesn't mean you're required to like everything. But put yourself in a position where it's possible to like anything. If you spend all your time comparing to the past, you will not hear the present.

I can't believe they would promise content not contained on the album and then fail to deliver. That's embarrassing.

Hi Joshua
The code on your card was meant to be a reference for the shop for your pre-order.
If you go to the URL on your card it will initiate a download of BoC wallpaper and a link to a video on Youtube.
When you pick up your record from Waterloo Records there will be a download card in it with a URL on it and a code.
So I would recommend going to pick up your record soon!*
Bleep Support
That's not how they made it sound when the cards were first given out.
-
So what was the deal with those download cards? Did anybody get into the reserva site? Was there exclusive content?

I love most of the tracks on TCH. Not a fan of Hey Saturday Sun or Dayvan Cowboy.
I just didn't like the vibe of the album as a whole. Sunbleached and chill? not my favorite.
-
Also as much as I do really dig this album, there is a part of me that misses their more playful side (Aquarius, Roygbiv) and their more direct beats (Happy Cycling, Kid For Today, Everything You Do Is A Balloon, Pete Standing Alone etc etc).
-
Still waiting for my copies. You suck bleep

Joyrex can we unpin some of these other threads?

Listens sullied by mosquito bites and skunk sprays don't count as official listens in my macro.
Kaini, do you have the numbers from Twoism?
-
just biking in to say - second listen, exactly the same reaction from me.
Please let us know after each successive listen so I can update my spreadsheet.
-
Hard to imagine anyone else writing this album and hard to discuss it outside the context of their prior material.

Pitchfork got it right, I think:

but no choice but to stick to my guns, I guess...
I don't get that part. Why force yourself to hold an opinion that may or may not be subject to change? Be open to whatever comes next.
You appeared to be having negative expectations prior to hearing it. So I wonder if you set yourself up to be disappointed?
-
Also I agree with whoever said that they held back a bit in terms of beats.
-
I love the album too. There are certain tracks I would never listen to in isolation - White Cyclosa and Sundown. They're way too cinematic. But they work within the context of the album. I can see why some of you folks feel the way you do. But I just keep hearing new reasons to listen more closely. And I keep hearing tracks and parts of them as if for the first time, discovering and appreciating things that I hadn't connected with previously.

BoC is the reason why I am who I am today
oooooookay

I didn't go into detail because I went to bed.
If you would like, I would go into detail about why I found the album disappointing when I finish work tonight. But I see it as completely pointless, because WATMM.
Also, it's cool that you read inbetween the lines and figured out that I have 'utter contempt and disdain' for the album after one listen. That is completely false, and would be apparent if you read what I had said and hadn't inferred your own opinion about me into it. But hey, internet.
That's the impression you give dude. That's what I'm saying.

I think all thia victimizing of those who ain't feeling it is super twoism. But there's more to it with Oscilik.
It's not just his bizarrely strict principles about trivial things, and definitely not just because he didn't enjoy his first listen on a format that I'm surprised he would even use.
It's that you will never hear him say something like "boy it's a shame they didn't ". Or "the way the melody comes in..."
It's always something like "Completely disgusting" or "triumphantly pathetic." Or some other way of showing his seeming utter contempt and disdain after one listen.

that moment when the full beat kicks in at 2:03 is sublime
