the only song i heard off this was create and the solo at the end was incredible. i think ill check this out.

Album Rating: 4.5

"because the front man is also cited as a guitarist, but there is no definitive part with 3 guitars."

Go listen to the Create solo and tell me there's not 3 distinct guitar parts bro. 2 guitars doing dueling leads and one guitar doing backing chords. This is intricate stuff, I feel it's insulting to say that.

PS I know I've posted a lot on this review, I'm just a Tides of Man fanboy.

Tides of Man released two new songs on their myspace. Statues is pretty awesome.

Album Rating: 4.0

yea there new song are pretty amazing

Album Rating: 4.0

Rise has taken a step in the right direction with these guys and PMtoday. im enjoying those two a lot. i adore "Create Couldn't Keep Up", gives me chills when i listen.

After starting with Dreamhouse I found this a but difficult to get into, but after taking the time to really listen to this lately, I've come to appreciate it. The instrumentation is top-notch, and even though Tilian's voice here isn't as developed as it is now, he really still creates some catchy stuff.

Album Rating: 4.0

The instrumental at the end of Create Couldn’t Keep Up is so tight.

i feel like he sang so much more within his range with tides of man

Album Rating: 2.5

Is this like, actually post-rock? I can't imagine Tillian in a post-rock band.

This album is pretty good. Not at all post-rock tho - their later discog is much more post-rock and I feel more lukewarm about those albums for that reason

Album Rating: 2.5

I might like their later stuff more then. I found this to be pretty unremarkable.

Album Rating: 3.0

you had to have heard it when it came out

Meh, I just feel like without Tilian their music doesn't intrigue me as much as I wish it did. The instrumental albums make for decent enough reading/background music though

Album Rating: 4.0

This band without Tilian is boring

It really is. Some of his vocals on here are just wonderful - Create Couldn't Keep Up and the opening track in particular
Like just such great balance between his gritty distortion and his bright cleans

I really dug their most recent album. Far more impactful than their first attempt (which still had a few gems).

But yeah, they're never gonna top the Tilian era

I don't come back to this much minus Create Couldn't Keep Up, Knowing You Have Arrived, and Not My Love but holy fuck this is a massive album

Album Rating: 4.0

Yea this album owns, I like Dreamhouse more but this is still so good

It's less gritty but it's definitely my favorite as well.

have you listened to PM Today at all?
