thanks for the encouragement!



i think those 3 songs prove that they can do slower, simpler music just as well as their fast-paced, frantic music.

such a powerful song

Album Rating: 2.5

Your review says you were immediately put off by the asymmetry, the dissonance, the weird vocals, the seeming lack of melody and flow to a song from De-loused. There was something captivating in the midst of the noise - it was too complex.



Although I can't comment on the dissonance (as I don't even know what it means) I loved the asymmetry, weird vocals, lack of melody and flow (in places) of both "De-loused" and "Frances", but just feel it's mostly missing and everything is all too quiet and melodic on Octahedron.



I just hope the album grows on me a bit more.

Album Rating: 2.5

I also note that you have only done 4 album reviews and hope you will be doing some more soon as I think are all excellent. Nearly as good as my favorite reviewer (Crysis) and he's (or she's) done loads!

google dissonance, you lazy sod

Album Rating: 2.5

You are correct - I am a lazy sod. However, as suggested, I looked up Dissonance (via google) and it gave me: A lack of agreement or harmony between things. A harsh, disagreeable combination of sounds.

couldve been a classic, if only it was more better

Album Rating: 3.5

wow thanks for the encouragement stargazer, i'm definitely planning on writing some more. quite an honor to be someone's second-favorite reviewer with only 4 of them done!



and yeah Anthracks has it right.

Since We've Been Wrong reminds me of Hurt...the song. Anyone else?

Nice review. A lot better than John Hanson's.

Album Rating: 3.5

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails? i hadn't thought about that, but i suppose there are some similarities.



and thanks...i felt John didn't go deep enough into the album, so i tried to dig a little deeper in my review. nice to know that the effort was appreciated!

ive heard since we've been wrong being compared to nothing else matters

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah i can definitely see that comparison

Album Rating: 4.0

nah not seeing it

I mean Johnny Cash's version. If I'm not mistaken, Trent Reznor's isn't much of a song...just
whispering with a bit of ambiance.

Just the verses, though; not the chorus.

yeah paxman you're right the acoustic on Johnny Cash's does sound kind of similar. i would definitely give NIN's version another try though. minimalism can be a good thing.

Will do. Guess I was mistaken. I do love his various Hurt performances with the piano.

Really great opening paragraph, Scorp.
