"you obviously hang out with much cooler people than me"



Naah, I just show the song to people who I know they'll appreciate it, but there aren't a lot of them mind you...

Oh okay. I was just wondering about your prior experience with the band. I personally like Kenotic a litttle better than this, but I'm sure this has some sentimental value attached to it as well, hence the 5. But yeah, I'd recommned checking out their other 2 LP's and even their EP.

A little bit, but I forgot my posts were deleted. Which means all of my reviews have none from me, so I thought I would just promote myself and add a post at the same time.

Nothing other than I still have to wait for Ferwerda to be available in a useful capacity.

maybe I'd like this if it wasn't for the hideously bad vocal sections

Those are like some of the best parts, dude. "You Lost the Starlight in Your Eyes" is amazing.

they're far too artificial and badly performed, coated in sugar and candy floss and it's just sickly



it ruins anything this album could have been



and this is coming from someone who likes the use of vocals in God Is An Astronaut

idk, darknoctus.

the vocals on this album are far better than they have been in the past. the vocals for "You Lost the Starlight in Your Eyes" are partly what makes the song so amazing.

been listening to this album for over a year, I still consider it perfect.

i like the vocal arrangements on their other albums, just not this one, it's too sickly sweet for me and it ruins the album for me. :[

just completed hearing this album and the immediate thought that comes is that i am neither in a car or on a space ship that i would feel extrinsic and shit



the only fault of the album is that its a little chilled out and not a little mad at least

Godspeed You Black Emperor is absolutely different than Hammock

so please stop comparing them both at least

all post rock ish artists have their style of interpreting music so let something be unique and not jumbled mixed eventually Raped .

Why should people stop comparing an artist to another artist that they believe they have similar traits with?

if you see clearly Godspeed You Black Emperor has this trance feeling in their music and they have very amazingly portrait it down.

where as

Hammock has this pure post rock feel that will keep on descending and leaving you nowhere and they have this feel to be compared with God Is An Astronaut or something in fact.

no, that would be godspeed



hammock is basically ambient poppy post-rock designed to relax



godspeed are more sprawling, huge, ambitious and in terms of mood couldn't be further apart



i can't actually think of one similarity they have in common, honestly
