I think the cult/sentimental weirdness prevented anyone from being honest about how dull this album is. It's first time I was shocked by witnessing brainwashing. The second time was when Trump won the election. Have u read this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any cult artist/band has it's core zealot fans but I agree BoC's following is excessive at times, especially on their subreddit and I assume on twoism. josh do u remember that weird advert/review for RAM in pitchfork? it was like multiple "pages" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 For me this was thematically much less interesting than what seemed to be hinted at in the "leaks" before the release. Things like Cold War paranoia mixed with conspiracy theories and occultism. Straight-up post-apocalyptic theme has been done a million times already in different medias. Also generally for me BoC fair better when they aren't so clear about what is the actual theme. For example MHTRTC and Geogaddi clearly have a theme, but exactly what it is very hard to pinpoint or describe in a few words. Both are kind of chilled but ominous at the same time, especially MHTRTC has this sunny vibe on the surface but it feels like there are some really dark undercurrents hidden behind the layers. Like a child innocently playing while some sinister stuff that is only vaguely hinted at is going on in the background. Musically TH is ok if BoC was releasing this kind of stuff every two years or so, but did it really take 8 years to make this? Or is it just so overpolished that all the edges got smoothed out in the process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly Stranger Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Listening to TCH this morning and having a hard time understanding how some fans rate this album so low. There are so many layers and beautiful moments. The ending of Chromakey Dreamcoat?! Cmon now how do you not like that. I’m a fan of the weird and murky BoC as much as anybody else but this album really hits me, always has. The run of the final 3 tracks in particular stand up to the best moments on any of their other albums. my opinion on this is right and everyone else’s is wrong!

Like an album Alan Titchmarsh would make? Once he's mowed your aunties lawn, trimmed the edges and pruned the rose bush, and then made a lovely pitcher of homemade lemonade, spiked with a mellow, juicy drop of LSD?

manmower Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I decided to listen to The Campfire Headphase and Music Has The Right To Children this morning as I remember kind of dissing them recently as being inferior to the other two. Suffice it to say that I'm never ranking their albums again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba69 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Well, it's been 15 years but I think I've finally come around to this album. It's really good. Not sure why I didn't like it before... Aged well I think. tomorrow's harvest I'm still kind of cold on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
