beyond boring

Digging: Black Boned Angel - Verdun

Nah. The transitions are good. It's quite cool. Proggy and sludgy...

Digging: Coliseum - Sister Faith

super pumped, love the bass work!

Sweet. Was a bit worried because of the intro but the song had some good progression, album should be sweet.

no, its boring as fuck

i enjoy prehistoricisms, though

No need to repeat yourself.

Also VoS > The Challenger > Prehistoricisms.

yee

not bad. not the biggest fan of these guys, though.

Not bad, not bad at all. Not great either though.

Kind of on the fence atm about this next release.

Digging: Eluvium - Nightmare Ending

Song's good and it is something different with respect to past work.

Compared to Valley Of Smoke, the vocals are improved.

I like it. Very groovy and sludgy. Have never really liked the vocals though.

Seems a bit more dialed back...I am hoping for a few moments of crushing riffage on this new album though...

Digging: 35007 - Liquid

its not boring, its restrained. the intro was shaky but the rest is really good.

that is a trippy album cover

Thought it was the single cover?

Doesn't sound as good as Valley Of Smoke

Never listened to VoS. Never interested me. Prehistoricisms was solid, and they're fantastic live.

the bass makes this song

Digging: Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

Real good. Oh yeah.

"Toke up, and think about what a combination Mastodon-Pelican would actually look like."

good thing it doesn't sound like either of those bands lol

Digging: Portishead - Portishead

"are you fucking dumb wolf"
Gonna g-nocide you, nigguh.

You better not make me use the valley of gas on your unhygienic gypsy opinion.

prehistoricisms has heavy riffs

Mein Reich has heavy gas.

I can smell jews by a nebula galaxy and you ain't no jew. You're a filthy gypsy. Jews are clean and they have money.

potsy u r a jew?

nah, he's just being a dumbass or filthy lying gypsy.

great song. would like to see some Sunderance or Cavernous Den type songs too, but this sets a great mood with killer bass work. consider this album reviewed.

"jewish heritage" is the dumbest thing ever and I wouldn't have presumed you to fall victim to the slippery slope of this idiocy.

the presumption of "jewish heritage" is incredibly offensive. it's also offensive to any person with half a brain.
Except that has exactly nothing to do with "jewish heritage", unless you believe in the same bogus biology the Nazis did.

wtf is going on.

this is getting good
-grabs popcorn-

"filthy lying gypsy."

is there any other kind?

Also VoS > .

NO.

Prehistoricisms > The Challenger > Shit > VoS

lol oops

seeing these guys live with AAL and Meshuggah in a month. SO stoked, gonna be trippin balls for the show.

Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer

Wow talk about being off topic...

Yeah, I was a bit worried with the beginning but the song ended being pretty damn good.

"Also VoS > .

NO.

Prehistoricisms > The Challenger > Shit > VoS"

How can you hate VOS that bad?

to hell with hordes trollish impisms

How can you hate VOS that bad?

It never grew on me at all. I couldn't get past the vocal change. Sure they were sort of monotonous on Prehistoricisms, but at least then they didn't detract from the music for me.

hahahaha

I preferred the bass work on VoS, but Prehistoricisms hit hard, which was awesome.
Vocals are good on this, I'll have to see. I know I was bummed out when I heard the Polyenso single, but I happen to actually adore the album as a whole. So that might be the case with this one as well.

Digging: William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops II

Valley of Smoke and Prehistoricanisms both rule. gonna listen to this now.

I enjoyed this alot, way more laid back and the last couple minutes were straight up chillin. Also prehistoricisms is a tad better than VOS imo.

Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer

Artwork is more interesting than the song...

Vocals are unchanged. Rhythms and structure feels like they've been done before.

Yeh some of those rhythms feel like they've been done before. Sounded cool tho. Looking forward to seeing how this fits the album as a whole.

Dunno how I feel about this.

Nice chill song but Dann! What happened to the heaviness Intronaut?

apt direction, but I gotta listen to the rest before I assume that it'll be boring

This is awesome. I hope the album's production is better than the way the song sounds streamed; that might be why some of you are saying it's boring... or you just think the song itself is boring, but it's not - that's a non-arguable fact.

Song is pretty awesome, I LOVED Valley Of Smoke.

By the way guys, the heaviness is still there from Prehistoricisms; it's just more subtle. The grooves and jazzy key changes are perfect on this song. It reminds me of 'Australopithecus' at the end.

Is that actually the album art? Wow...exceeds expectations

Song owns btw

Judging from this song, Sputnik will rate this album 4.1/5.

Judging from this song, Sputnik will rate this album 4.1/5.

This album should be good.

Digging: Summoning - Old Mornings Dawn

great song, seeing them in a few weeks with meshuggah and animals as leaders like that other guy up there

Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer

Seein them feb. 20th. Will be soty. Cant wait to buy the album

awesome song, that artwork tripped me out. this album is going to rule for sure.

oh, and VoS > Prehistoricisms > The Challenger. no question about it.

Actually I have a question about it

I find that VoS didn't do much to distinguish each of the songs from one another for me. But then again I also never worshiped Prehistoricisms. But to me this seems like a natural progression from their previous outing. Hopefully they add a bit more to the mix this time around.

Song is pretty good. I would have to agree that this sounds like a natural progression in their sound. I'm glad they've kept Joe Lester so high in the mix and continue to use him a vital instrument in their sound. Vocally, though, I wish Sacha would go back to the scream he used pre-VoS. I don't think they Mastodon/Baroness-esque style works well for them. It wasn't all that bad in this song, but it was a major turn off on VoS.

Also, Null and Void>Prehistoricisms>VoS
