Haha. Umm, let me play them simultaneously... Ok, I couldn't hear Foals when I did that.



Well, they're knott exactly the same type of album Adam, so the comparison is a strange one.



Can I presume you're thinking 4.5'ish also?

No, just thought I'd reaffirm how good this album is, you know for those who don't know.





And strikey so wants to join the 5 club.

Yes.

Nah I know cross-genre comparisons are frowned upon, but they're 2 genres I really unequivocally enjoy and you likewise, and I can't understand what makes Emery so special & this less-so. I guess I'm more trying to understand what makes something a 5 for you, because if Emery has it and this doesn't, I need to know what it is :P

"I guess I'm more trying to understand what makes something a 5 for you, because if Emery has it and this doesn't, I need to know what it is"



It's me... I thought it was pretty obvious what floated my boat... In 2 words; catchy & recitable. I know, I know; crappy pop like Ke$ha can sort of be catchy too, but it's got to have a whole bunch of components.



Put it this way, it's going to be very rare that I rate what I classify an indie album a 5. 'Funeral' may be the only one I can think of off the top of my head. So if I rate an Indie album a 4.5, it's as good as a 5 basically.

Hey, hey easy on the Ke$ha bashing, Tik Tok sodding rules. Almost as much as this.

Ugh. Just did a sound-off for that album yesterday. Ummm, no. The only reason 'Tik Tok' has ingrained a portion of itself in my mind is because you can't walk 10 metres without hearing the damn thing.

"Wow I'm assuming a lot about you..."

lol yes u r, and I wouldn't be a fan of Prog if I didn't enjoy slow build ups. I can also deal with monotonous vocals as well. But this man just makes me want to go on a killin spree.

Well, i wouldn't say the vocals are the highlight of the album... Although, Yannis hits the spot perfectly on 'Spanish Sahara'. There is a moment in the 2nd verse I think where his voice quivers just a touch & it's chill-inducing.



'Black Gold' is starting to grow on me big time. I think it would have worked better as the closer though.



Also, I should have mentioned the terrific bass-lines in the review. Fantastic stuff by Walter Gervers.
