if you are not prepared for a perfectly executed conceptual record where the ambient sections serve to anticipate and appreciate the more beat-movements then don't sign up for this

"I feel like I've heard better soundscaping. But that aside I feel like they do all the good parts from this album in other, more coherent and straightfoward albums."



I actually feel the high points on here are amongst the best in their discography & elevate what would otherwise be a slightly frustrating & inconsistent listen. I mean, it could still do with trimming down a little but...

Honestly atmospheric builds are better left to more subtle bands. These guys sound best when they're all out because they're ridiculous and over the top. Filling out the length between the interesting parts is fine, but make the ambiance interesting.



For me. IMO. I really enjoy this band, just can't get into this one.

Finally diving into this after months of disliking De-Loused. I'm not crazy about it so far

This album has grown off me a bit over time. Probably my 4th favorite TMV album.

Most of you don't speak Spanish, but I'm telling you, the parts where Cedric sings in Spanish, he conjugate every single word he says WRONG: nouns, verbs, some adjectives. I feel retarded when I'm singing those parts, seriously "soñando de venganza", he actually means "soñando CON venganza", dreaming with vengeance not of vengeance, the way we build the sentences is different.

If he's singing Spanish in at all the same way he sings English - that's intentional...

agree with Satellite, and I'm speaking from also a bilingual perspective

soñando de venganza totally looks sound to me tho.

This rules, but I haven't listened to DITC and I'm planning to tonight. Is this better or vice-versa?
