i dunno, i was starting to like bob a little. his transition from alcoholic who got a guy killed trying to score booze, feeling sorry for himself etc, to being at least temporarily optimistic was some kind of progression at least. but it's obviously why they did it- to try to make you care about him before killing him off.
They should do a "meanwhile, over in Iceland" episode, where everyone is fine and doesnt have a clue about the zombie apocalypse going down, other than the fact that the rest of the world seems to be not worrying them and they are cool with that.
great idea

also on a more current point, i think the guy going outside was kind of explained by the fact that he had in fact been bit, which was why he started crying. but the question of who is putting those marks on the trees still remains (or did it show that and i missed it?). and is it just me or is it kinda dumb to bring back that guy rick met early on and had the encounter with later (the guy with the mask on)? just seems too unlikely that he'd not only still be alive but keeps bumping into rick. also im glad they didnt draw the cannibal thing out very long. they need to get away from the whole 'group of bad ppl out to get them' thing, its getting tedious

i lost interest mid-way through last season when the prison was raided, quit watching. finally caught up in the past week, and i just have to say- when carol shot that one girl, that was pretty rough. to me those rare moments like that redeem the series a bit, for all the dumb nonsensical shit that people do or the magical zombies that appear out of nowhere, etc etc etc. i mean, for the simple fact of it being a pretty challenging kind of moment. someone shot a non-zombie little girl, but the show built up a pretty gruesome case that it had to be done. lots of people would say it wasn't the right thing to do but that's what's so great about it, it was a totally fucked up problem with no actual good answer to it, only a shitty answer that might let her and the dude and baby survive a little longer, and spare the girl from hurting/endangering others or a worse fate herself.
pretty intense shit. harkens back to that infamous barn scene with carols daughter in season 2, which honestly, totally surprised me and was pretty intense also
as dumb as the show is, those moments are at least pretty damn cool and itd be tough to deny that

ahyes the enlightened kid who says everyone should drop out of school because they are brainwash centers
good message for the kids

i cant understand most of it. is he rapping about having lots of money and a famous daddy?
-
yeh midnight section is great. i think death dimension is my fav thing of his by far. but pov is his best overall release imo, in terms of it being cohesive, and having what i perceive as a 'theme' of some sort. its like an adventure

hey pitchfork, can you please tell me again which song it is that skrillex likes and which one kanye sampled? it's been 5 minutes since the last time you mentioned it, fucking morons. and those guys are important so if they mentioned this aphex twin dude then it must be OK for me to check him out. oh but hmm whats this? a video for a song called windowlicker. i'll click on that and give that a chance. wow is this racist? i dunno but its really disturbing and super weeieeieeirrrd! eewww!

im still feeling pretty content with syro, to say the least
also that japanese bonus track, i think it probably is one of the better ones. great track (at first listen i didnt really like it though)
i dont know what the thing JR alludes to could be if it isn't music, that could compete with syro or the kickstarter in terms of excitement levels

haha

i would think that he would do editing between various takes to get the best combination of all takes, instead of recording multiple takes and just picking one
-
the early fenix funk is a lot like the finished one but different enough to be a nice alternative to it
one of the best on analord for sure so its cool to hear that other version. wouldve preferred it to some of the bonuses that were released with the digital release of analord....

so now were on to interviews of the interviewers?

i just got mine today, from amazon. wasnt too bothered about how long it took since i saved like 20 bux and got a miles davis record too
anyway, the packaging is really nice (vinyl), as has been said
-
i would seriously hope he's converted any old tracks he has on DAT tapes over to just digital wavs on a hard drive or something by now...
i've read those DAT tapes go bad eventually, at least mechanically, and that once they do it's going to be maybe impossible to get anything off of it

i only shoot pure jenk
aka butt-hash
its the only way to fly (and enjoy syro)

guys i think this leman person is right. we all have shit in our ears and think music is a dsp contest. leman is clearly not a troll, and is stating a correct fact.

You don't see anything insulting in slaping together a bunch of old binned tracks (has anyone realised that those sound 1:1 exactly the same as on the youtube recordings?) with huge amounts of hiss and overmaximized mastering because the original multitracks have been long lost as insulting?...
Why has it been released as "Aphex Twin"....
Syro is 100 % Aphex. It's a very fun album. It's excelently crafted. And that is pretty much it.
i like to think that im not a blind fanboy, i just happen to really like the guy's tracks, and i don't really feel that there is any need to defend him from you or anyone, but how exactly does your brain jump from each of those statements to the next?
first off, i feel like it would take a lot for any musician/band to put out a release that was 'insulting' to the fans or whoever bought it. it'd have to be really defective, or just terrible and sub-standard. syro is absolutely not either of those things. so what if some of the tracks were on youtube? a) its fucking youtube b) they sounded pretty shit c) now they sound great. i actually was never terribly impressed by the metz/manchester tracks the few times i listened. i never understood the praise they got around here. but when i listened i thought 'sounds like there could be some details in these tracks that are being lost by the shitty cell phone/whatever recording and youtube transcoding. details that may be really important to these tracks'. now that i've heard them on the album i think theyre fucking great. the difference for me was night and day. so why the fuck should i be insulted by that? are you mental?
2ndly, how can you not see a problem with your asking why it was released under aphex, then saying later that it's a very aphex release?
i'd like to agree with what's been said that post count doesnt necessarily give more weight to someone's posts, but to some degree, it does. if someone who's posts i've read many times and considered them and saw eye to eye with them on some level, says something that i really don't agree with, i'm going to be a bit more likely to think about what theyre saying and look at their reasoning and see if there might be something to it. yet even though you have few posts i still looked at what you had to say and saw nothing worthy of consideration. its contradictory and idiotic. aphex didn't owe you the album of your dreams. he gave us a great album and you admit that its great but still struggle to find things to bitch about and even say its insulting.
you're the exact kind of idiot who gives new posters a bad name. congrats

guys the only way out of this is to seppuku like men
(its also the only real way to experience syro)

This might be one of his best albums. There are so many tiny classic moments that only last a few bars and then change. He said there was nothing groundbreaking here, bullshit. This album is leagues beyond what anybody else is doing at the moment.
It's a classic.
totally agree. i was thinking the same thing myself, about the not being new or groundbreaking.
it is. there is honestly nothing else quite like this out there, and certainly not at this level.

i think its pretty lame because they go directly from having the governor to deal with, to being scattered around, wandered a few episodes, hook back up, have to deal with cannibals, and now theres yet another group of 'bad guys' for them or at least beth and carol to deal with. it just gets old. they should have more episodes outside of that dynamic where its them vs some group of dickheads. imo
