Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 also, there is a hidden track on the dvd. if you press next chapter on the last song (mercury man maybe?) it goes to a chz radio hidden track with snippets of all samples from the album. I'll have to try that out. In addition to being a regular video dvd, the disc also contains a folder with video files of the live film so you can just copy them over instead of ripping the dvd. plus there's a folder with 24-bit 96 kHz flacs of the album.

encey Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I think their ability to make their sound into pop songs is their greatest strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jimmy McMessageboard Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I think their ability to make their sound into pop songs is their greatest strength. i don't think they are pop songs. pop songs need to be understood and catchy on first listen. a pop song that takes a few listens before you can get into it isn't a pop song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manufactured pop song, on the other hand, is catchy on first listen and sticks in your head whether you hate it or love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The album is coming together for me. I've given 4 stars to many of hte songs so far, I'm leaning towards a 4/5 rating overall at this point, which is really good. My standouts are Rosie Oh, Father Time, Mercury Man, and Amanita. I think. Is it just me or doe the vocals in "Wide Eyed" sound like King Crimson? I know they had various vocalists...I haven't really tried to pinpoiont which one. And also, fIREHOSE, who also reminded me of some King Crimson in the vocal department at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jimmy McMessageboard Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 the part at 48 seconds in today's supernatural totally reminds me of smashing pumpkins. the way he sneers i think mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvatorin Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 wow that acoustic version was beautiful, also I finally got my copy in the mail. I am really liking this record. Rosie Oh is so great! Once again I feel confused and unsettled by the mastering choices. The album sounds like it needs to be played on a sound system about 3 times larger than my body so i could absorb all the different pieces like an environment. On car speakers or earbuds it just sounds like something huge packed into a space way too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I totally missed their show here last week. I wasn't 100% going, but I forgot until the day after so I didn't have the chance to make a last minute decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamos scorcho Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 "applesauce" <3 I wonder if Avey is partially schizophrenic even if its just from drug use. the song is a comforting and kind hearted wave from a fellow crazy man as if from the middle of hyperspace or schizospace.
