thehauntingsoul Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I'm talking purely about the album composure. This has nothing to do with whether the tracks are the best or not I'm simply asking which album you think has the best overall album composure. I'm almost tempted to say EP7 as ironic as that is.

Zephyr_Nova Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The entirety of Quaristice flows like one track with many movements. I'd go with that one. *after Between the Buried and me, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YELLOW Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Untilted, no question about it.. Came here to say the same. Yeah the flow even in individual tracks is very impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baph Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Untilted is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilwx Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 True enough for Untilted. All eight tracks have incredible endings. The transition from ProRadii to AugmaticDisport is legendary. And the flow of the end of Sublimit into the aether of the nonuntilted world. But also! Tri Repetae. Eutow into C/Pach, Clipper into Leterel, the disorienting haze of Stud after the trip of Rotar. Perhaps I've been listening to TriRepetae lately and it's confirmation bias, but I believe it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaizai Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Agree , Untilted is a Monolith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaderpansen Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 1. LP5 (most intersections of any album, sonically consistent, dramatic arc from start to finish) 2. Quaristice is one story up until Fol3 art least. Untilted? Dunno, the individual tracks are so vast, hard for me to see the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Lare Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Oversteps, that's one of the reasons i don't like it (kek i have no reasons for that). Compare it to MoT with alternate takes on the same sounds and you will feel it coming in your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipsis Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Exai. So diverse album and yet the flow is amazing. Such a beautiful sonic journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Actually yeah, the flow on Exai is really exceptional from what I recall, though I don't remember if it's like that all through both discs. It may be neck and neck with Quaristice for best flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stock Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Yeah but Exai is really too long to keep with the flow imo... I'd go with Oversteps. To me it was the most "easy-listening" Ae album - mostly due to the fact that it's a solid and coherent piece of work ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJW Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Exai has a Great flow up until the end of nodeszh. Quaristice up to the end of fol3. Oversteps has a great flow throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversteps is too based on the circular repetition of the first three tracks, so yes he got the flow but lacks in dramatic arc/narrative flow that makes lp5 the ae lp with the most classic flow.

joseph Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Cichli suite is up there too Oversteps is too based on the circular repetition of the first three tracks What do you mean by that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Lare Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm more (dis)interested in dramatic arc/narrative flow bullshit, sounds like some outdated album marketing for your hottest singer-songwriter type shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimandres Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 No mentions of Confield? That's probably the pick for me... Individual tracks are quite different, but unified in their "feel". That album definitely feels like a journey to me, from cover to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That album definitely feels like a journey to me, from cover to cover. Confield is a good collection of tracks, in my opinion. Not much flow. Interesting. I might actually be an outlier in viewing the whole of Confield as a "story". I actually feel like all of the albums from Chiastic Slide > Draft are kind of like concept albums with a real sense of story and place. Curiously, I feel like Untilted is just a collection of tracks but it's the most mentioned album in this thread. I think Chi Slide is a good contender looking at the overall album flow, unified sound palate, and seamless track to track transitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
