I listened to Dour Percentage when I was walking to the Gay-Straight Alliance meeting on my college campus
It was perfect

keep jumping back and forth between a 4 and 4.5 for this. but when i'm in the right mood, it's perfect.

I actually heard holder stuff (about 4 albums) and really disliked it. probably because I compare it to this. But was widely disspointed

give it more time. every single release is the same tier quality as this, and all of the melodies are extremely similar. the only noticeable difference between this album and the old ones are the cray parts in the last three tracks.

How can any band have 6+ classics, though

anthracks not sure how you can say an album like the gay parade is extremely similar to this

because the melodies are of the same ilk. the song structures are similarly chaotic and experimental. the atmosphere is similarly tempestuous and esoteric, while also being equally whimsical THATS WHY
obviously they dont sound the "exact" same (nothing is the exact same to anything else in music), and especially not on the first listen. but when you listen to all of their albums 38953873 times like i have it becomes very clear. extremely similar...yes.

you concern your thoughts with too many trifling compartments. take each piece of music as its own and divest it of any of its relationships to something as inconsequential as which band produced it and then rate it based on that merit alone

i agree with you about the melodies GENERALLY, but i think it's pretty obvious that barnes has gotten increasingly unhinged musically (not necessarily a bad thing) as time has gone on

@klap, not necessarily. He has always been experimental eg Coquelicot, it's just that he usually puts a slight new twist to his formula despite usually using the same parts and trademarks. Coquelicot and Skeletal Lamping are by far his most experimental albums and there is no reason for their chronological order.

coquelicot definitely is the most experimental of their early works, but i think it does have a definite concept and has a point A and point B and generally tells a story, while retaining the very whimsical sort of twee that they were into at that time. whereas skeletal lamping is a pretty messy jumble that is much more diverse stylistically (at least to me).
i'd also say i'd almost consider this album more experimental than coquelicot (which incidentally is my favorite of their pre satanic stuff)
