why does that mean there's more to it? either the other ideas they had for that album were downright terrible, or they picked a lot of inferior tracks, because it's nowhere remotely close to their best stuff

i've come around to that album in a big way (although i do need to be in the right headspace for it), and i'd even consider it excellent at times, but it doesn't even sound a lot like boc to me. i still think the tracks are sort of aimless and lacking in melodies. almost a little too ambient for its own good (and that's coming from a guy who loves some of their more ambient stuff, like amo bishop roden)

i really dont think u can approach that album/most of their stuff other than maybe mhtrtc on a track by track basis. like i would consider TH in my top 10 albums ever but i agree with u that theres tracks that don't hold up on their own

but like that doesn't matter cause i listen to that album front to back and the experience as a whole is perfect

i can concede to that.



i've listened to all of the tracks on that album several times in passing and they always feel lackluster (like, mhtrtc's music is so detailed and textured, with so many melodies), but there was a night not long ago when i played the whole thing front-to-back and i was in a trance-like state listening to it. except for when palace posy came on. that song always ruins the flow of the album imo

palace posy works a lot better if you listen to it on vinyl cause theres the break in between it and collapse when u switch disks which im pretty sure is intentional (especially when u consider the fact that its "collapse" into palace posy which is an anagram for apocalypse). so like conceptually i get why they did it in terms of the narrative of the album and why they made it so abrupt but it can break the mood on certain listens i agree

Re-listened to this again for the billionth time. Still the greatest album ever made.



Heard some people say they think this album is relaxing all the way through, like wut? The Devil Is In The Details is pure dread.

That track's so surreal and otherworldly. Love it.

Campfire Headphase is what i would call their "relaxing" album



This is like a grab bag of all their best qualities

me having it at a 4 is even grossly overrating it



it has 0 replay value or magnetism like their old work does. its just this fucking heavy monochrome brick of unsubstantial boc emulation.

Tomorrow's Harvest is good but MHTRTC and this are leagues ahead.



Campfire is super dope though. Not quite on the same level as MHTRTC and Geogaddi but it still kills.
