ignatius Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 i like Quarstice. it's full of some real gems too. the Quaristice Versions release especially. I also hear some Quaristice vibes in SIGN... more than Oversteps vibes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It's funny having been on this forum for almost 20 years at this point and every time a new album comes out it's the exact same deal as far as immediate reactions go. Of course people just straight up might not like this, but this feels like the Oversteps release all over again, and Quaristice before that. Predicting some changes of heart in the next 2-4 weeks. I for one love the return to a more melody driven style but everybody's got their own thing! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there was a lot of time for fans to build expectations, and Untilted was a tough act to follow. That initial reception seems to have kinda lingered with a lot of longtime fans. Content-wise I think it has stood the test of time and contains a lot of solid material, and definitely marked a new era where they started to reveal a lot more about their process. that's such a consumerist perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spptrl alt del Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Oversteps sounded fresh and exciting (big, different) when it came out... it was springtime, it felt fresh. d sho qub. SIGN, not so much. it feels a lil stale, rote. i'll take formulaic AFX over this, thirty-five times out of thirty-six. maybe [SIGN]'ll sound better on the stereo?

Spamlet Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I haven't figured out my own opinion on this yet, hello, some parts are really beautiful, I bet it would be a good introduction for somebody curious to get into their not-early material but finding the heavier mixes of exai and elseq a bit too inaccessible. This one's more focused on a particular section of the sound and I think it's really cool to hear that, but maybe it lacks some range 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find some of the chords pretty simple and straightforward which is not what I’m used to from them. Im not complaining as this is one of the more enjoyable releases of theirs (for me) in years despite the general lack of beats etc. I guess I’m kinda conflicted lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spamlet Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It's kinda the exact album I was wanting them to make, the gorgeous synth textures with the drums peeled back a bit! If that idea turns out to have limitations then it's my fault, sorry guys. But I think Metaz form8 and M4 Lema are gonna be some of my favs from them forever, and that different ppl seem to gravitate toward different tracks (as usual) is a good sign i'd say 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) SIGN is an ae album that really requires you to relearn and come at it from a different angle to that you might be accustomed, it isn't really a matter of accessibility or simplicity or range. It impresses their rich command of sound design more than ever before really, "the piano is dumb" comment feels very relevant here. It almost feels like an interplay between the themes and embellishments, like one remixing the others demos. Grandma managing to smile a "that's nice, dear" to SIGN is missing the point of what makes SIGN a little special.

spptrl alt del Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 M4 Lema is primo 'chre. Metaz form8 sounds like an outtake from Black Sea... it's pleasant enough. It'll probably sound great on a decent setup (hi fi stereo, headphones, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It’s interesting to see so many different but respectful opinions about the album. As usual it’s a polarizing release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlemflolia Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 the pads and depth of texture in Metaz form8 makes it so unique and good. it has so much to soak in 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
