usagi Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 speaking of Pelican, I put on What We All Come To Need the other day, for the first time in maybe... 4-5 years? and it gave me weird feels. I played that album a lot back when it came out, and it's still great, but it's a bit strange listening to it now. sounds really dated, anachronistic even. I reckon it's their best one though.

usagi Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 their drummer was known to be a bit sloppy, yeah. but he seemed to finally tighten up around WWACTN, there aren't any missteps on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 lol yeah someone once mentioned how bad their drummer was and now that's all I can think about when I listen to them. That said, the shitty drumming kinda adds to the charm of Australasia I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 What band has broken up, then reunited and released a killer album? Swans Devo ...Carcass? Gorguts Death Angel's "The Art of Dying" was ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Next time i listen to my shitty drum programming i'll reprogram myself to think of it as charming heh definitely "trendsetting" much like how a large amount of post-punk is just kinda shit but still awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I realised I have never listened to a post punk band intentionally . Should I?Definitely!Magazine, Killing Joke, Devo, Talking Heads, Polyrock, XTC are some of my favourites who don't make shitty music. Magazine in particular were even a little proggy.

jules Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Good read. Some of what he said is pretty true though. This especially... For instance you referenced the production a while back. The more our records sold the more our record labels were willing to give us to record our records, and so I feel that had a very palpable impact on the way we did things. The making of the our first couple of EPs and even Celestial was very…. I think there was a deep sense of urgency in the process that translated into the recording of those albums. We had a limited amount of time and we really just had to go for it. And when it got to the point of the last couple of records, where we were spending three or four weeks in the studio, it just took all the urgency out of it. Though the sounds themselves might have been pristine and resulting in these very well-balanced mixes, I think the overall impact and visceral quality were lost as a result. I still love that album and they are def one of my fav bands of all time. May be time to rinse Oceanic again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 This is now the bands that broke up, reunited and released killer albums thread. One year after the idea was introduced. In disagreement with the OP, Faith No More. Failure Dinosaur Jr. Portishead - yeah, I'm including 10 year breaks between albums as breaking up. My Bloody Valentine Aphex Twin And in the bands that broke up, reunited and released pretty okay albums camp: Primus Soundgarden I'm not digging the automatic double spacing feature at all.
