Kanakori Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 That never happens. :) Ps: And buying without even hearing one or more tracks is stupid. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirm Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I bought the new Shackleton Album without hearing samples. and I also like to read reviews just to hear other peoples opinions and you sometimes find out a bit more background to the album. I often read reviews of albums I already have for this reason. Infact aint that the same reason we read threads like this? If your not interested about other peoples opinons whats the point? Back to Actress though - this album is amazing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirm Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Only heard the Music For the Quiet Hour once all the way through last night and had a quick listen to a couple of tracks of the other disc, but sounds very promising indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redruth Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 i listened to that anthony person spout on, in his freakish way, about his opinion regarding r.i.p and i'll never listen to him again. my eyes, ears and my brains are permanently damaged. he is quite annoying and with all the 'glitch' editing and hyper-enthusiasm. he's a menace really.

six Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have gotten pretty into Actress lately but I guess I have the same problem with him that I do with Clark, in that they both make some absolutely stunning tracks, but if I try to sit through a whole album I am always turned off by a bunch of tracks that sounds mediocre at best, grating at worst. I have a playlist for each of these guys, both of which are among my favorite stuff recently, but there seems to be so much filler on the albums. My opinion of course, glad people here are digging it, he seems lot he has a lot of talent, just wish it was more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 this is some great and unique music, and i didn't even like his previous, but now i realize i might have not given it proper attention. jardin stood out for me, very colleen-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 sometimes i find myself wishing the opening trac would play forever or 'raven' could play forever or N.E.W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmanyo Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I don't like the stuff with major chords because they sound too much like my Garageband noodlings. A million times better and quite different, of course, but the actual melody lines sound very similar. Especially Jarden. It reminds me too much of my own crappy cliché music. It's really unfortunate, because I'd probably love the tracks if it weren't for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Archrival Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 This is an interesting album and nice to listen to but I can't rise to the fever pitch that seems to be everywhere. "Caves Of Paradise" gets the closest for me because it's seriously dope From the comments under "Shadow From Tartarus". I know it's just a YT comment--of which 99% of them are out of the arse--but still i have reached the peak of music heaven, nothing else to do in this life! I totally agree, this album is a disspointment,...Ascension and Caves are dope..no longevity at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 'marble plexus' has crept into the long list of favorites in r.i.p. such epic, elevating, soaring sounds in this trac. i have found the favorites, yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rubberman Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 the whole thing is fantastic imo perhaps wont be my favorite album from this year, but it's pretty close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 My feet are firmly planted in the 'great album' camp now. Played this while chilling with an old mate last night, got in the car to go home and was compelled to play IWAAD again on full blast as it's the bollocks. I suppose it's in they eye of the beholder but there's a beautiful ebb and flow to the tracks imho, going from Shadow From Tartarus > Tree Of Knowledge smacks me upside the head every time.
