chronical 398 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I enjoy the suits so far, gonna wait until my cassette arrives on/after the 30th 🙂 hopefully the "night suite" part is a deep dive into lopatronics 2 Link to post Share on other sites
thumbass 721 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It seems like a grower, I'm starting to like the tracks! Credits for the album, seems like less vocals on the third and fourth suite Link to post Share on other sites
mcbpete 305 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 At least there's nothing like this is on this one (hopefully) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

springymajig 76 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Wait... What? I'm confused, is the rapping on Weather Channel by The Weeknd or whoever Nolanberollin is? Link to post Share on other sites
d-a-m-o 1514 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Rapping ? you call that rapping ? Link to post Share on other sites
fumi 305 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Super worried that I've now already heard half the album and don't like any of it. Also seems unusual for an artist to pre-release so much in a short space of time. Maybe the night suite will have some Rifts vibes. Then again, probably not. First world problem. Also @mcbpete Hasn't 2020 been a scary enough year already? Nobody needs Babylon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A based god if you will. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sidewinder 226 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I'm not trying to listen to the album piecemeal, will skip this new "suite" until I can hear the whole thing. A few tracks was fine but half the album? I'll wait. Link to post Share on other sites

I really want to like it. I've been listening to both suites all day. Still trying to find those little moments of gold amid all the utter mehness. Is that even a word? I don't know.

splesh 193 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I'm curious, I didn't dislike the singing on Age Of but I did find it kinda weird. My faves of his have been R Plus Seven, Replica, and Garden of Delete. But I'll give it a shot Link to post Share on other sites

Key 63 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Looks like this'll prob be my last opn purchase. Age Of was weak for me, and this is much of the same but worse. Hes gone and done a Machinedrum. "Daniel, dont lower yourself to the level of the mainstream.!" "Lisa maybe if I'm part of that mainstream I can help steer it in wise directions" Link to post Share on other sites
fumi 305 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Leaked a few hours ago. I'm gonna wait as I pre-ordered digitals from Bleep. Hope the remaining tracks are much better. Link to post Share on other sites
sexagon hun 37 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Bonus track (japan) is called Ambien 1 - will post YT link if it pops up. Gonna listen to this in a bit, have been staying away from previews.. Link to post Share on other sites
fumi 305 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Download from Bleep. Second half the album much better (IMO). Too earlier to make a final judgement but these later pieces lean slightly more (dare I say it), to earlier OPN. Second half of "Tales From The Trash Stratum' is awesome. 'Wave Idea' is also a fine piece. I almost wish I'd never heard the earlier released tracks now as it all works better as a complete album listen. Even the latter vocal track 'Lost But Never Alone' sounds okay with its 80s glam rock guitar sample . 'Cross Talk IV / Radio Lonelys' has that Synclavier sample from Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' hidden away there too. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

sun drugs 14 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 solid album in whole, the 2nd half is great. would love a full nate boyce shredding x opn record. Hopefully we get a couple EPs again after this. Dont mind this sound at all, refined GOD x Ageof sound, tight production, can see why soyboys dont dig it. Rifts and especially Russian Mind are all time but these new records are good fun. From what i gather it was made more so at home in sketches and finished in the studio post hard lockdown and it does sounds a bit like that, thats cool with me, maybe less pressure to do it this way over hiring an airbnb and watching titantic on repeat. feels more pulp opn, the right opn 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

'Cross Talk IV / Radio Lonelys' has that Synclavier sample from Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' hidden away there too. Second half is definitely solid, I too think Tales From the Trash Stratum (the track from the teaser!!) and Wave Idea are excellent. It sounds much better as a complete album and I love the whole post apocalyptic drug trip tuning into to radio stations vibe it has going on. At least that’s the vibe I get. I think the released tracks sound a lot better in context. The Weeknd collab track doesn’t do it for me but the little cheesy synth towards the end is great. Lots of little gems hidden throughout. OPN will never be my favorite artist but damn if he doesn’t keep me intrigued. And when he strikes a chord with me he really strikes a f’n cord. It just takes wading through some dense and odd stuff to get there. good album, definitely better than Age Of and Garden of Delete for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BelacquaShuah 2 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) i was very surprised by the second half. the placement of overly airbrushed track No Nightmares at the end of the first half of the album feels ironic and makes sense now, given the harsher textures and more erratic structures that follow. there are some genuinely funny moments, like the end of Imago, with the looped bitcrushed sample archly enveloping tender waves of midi chamber music. you can practically hear Lopatin laughing in the background. he's quite the droll the second half, especially in relation to the first, sounds like the seedy underbelly of a subtly unbalanced consciousness pretending "normality." coming off a big Lynch binge, i'm keen on this narrative conceit. 🙂 Edited October 30, 2020 by BelacquaShuah Link to post Share on other sites
