Members dmk Posted March 24, 2008 Members Share Posted March 24, 2008 one of the best {censored}ing albums i've ever bought. by a long long long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHive Posted March 24, 2008 Members Share Posted March 24, 2008 While I like the album and agree these guys are great musicians, I think they need a bit more focus. The album is a bit TOO all-over-the-place and show-off-ish prog rock wankery. I don't need to hear hardcore, metal, country, classic rock and prog rock all in ONE song. Really. I like the album but it's a bit too schizophrenic for me to love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RhettHours Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 yeah they also wrote an album called the silent circus about 5 years back that was the greatest thing to ever happen to music. maybe look into it. colors blows in comparison. **and yes, you may say - why rhett, you have colors as your avatar...but that was three months before it came out and i was still pumped and praying.

I like the album but it's a bit too schizophrenic for me to love. This is basically how I feel as well. It has a lot of great moments and killer musicianship but so much of it seems like it could be left out. The transitions from riff to riff a lot of times seem really forced and out of place. The songs flow very nicely together for the most part but I just cant stand it when they will be playing a riff in 4/4 and have to make the last measure of the riff something like an awkward 7/8 just to transition into another riff. Totally ruins the flow IMO when you do this non stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RhettHours Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 The Silent Circus is better? I have it on my iPod but never listened to it. I'm gunna have to check it out tonight. sweet jesus man...yes. i have always said i wanted to compile a top 5 albums of all time list...and i seriously cannot find 4 other albums worthy...that i can say without a doubt, belong in it. the silent circus is the perfect blend between beauty and brutality. ive never heard it done that well before. its their masterpiece, and they will never make a better album.

Members Drumas funk Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have a feeling that their next album will be more focused. Colors is great, but it doesn't have the replay value that Alaska and SC have. I hope the next one can compare to one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LennonLives Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 I had to listen to it two or three times to appreciate it, but now I listen to it all the time! I like "Silent Circus" almost as much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
