An average Olafur Arnalds album?
seems unlikely but i'll have to give this a listen and see

Eli, I didn't even know this was a thing. I saw the front page and it made my day and ruined my day about 1.5 secs later when I loaded the review. ugh.
just an Olafur Arnalds slip-up?

You need a review to tell you if an album is good or not? Can't you decide that for yourself?

what the fuck? i never implied that.
i'll always listen to an album of an artist i like regardless of what a review says, but there are certain reviewers who's opinions i trust and relate to more than others. hence actually addressing Xenophanes...

he's wronggggg
|
| |
yeah, i'm about to stream this. we'll see.
i can't imagine him making anything remotely just placidly content, though. heh.
|
| |
There shouldn't be any commas in the first sentence. Other than that, good review.
|
| |
it's hard to consider this as a film score having not seen the film (have you?), but i agree that this this seems kind of vapid. feels like he struggled to maintain his own signature expression while still following the flow of the film.
the abrupt endings to everything and mostly short-lived tracks kind of piss me off, but it's not often OSTs feel complete i guess.

is it me or does lynn's theme sound hyper similar to another song he's done?

yeah it's a re-working of 'Film Credits' from Living Room Songs. same with "Autumn Day". makes sense.
|
| |
ahh didn't catch that, thanks.
yeah i'm having a really hard time feeling objective about this without seeing the film. is it out yet?
|
| |
yeah, it came out last year in December apparently. got a torrent on the roll just now.
|
| |
god damn i dropped the ball hard on this one
annnnnd downloading.
|
| |
"Everything Must Change" is the best on this. and the longest. pretty spooky sounding

Album Rating: 3.5
Listening to stream right now. This is definitely not a 2.5, but it sure is lacking a bit. Whats with the short ass songs? Is this normal for movie soundtracks?... Might bump down to a 3.5...
|
| |
Was expecting this to be as good as Living Room Songs and it turned out to be as good as Living Room Songs...
|
| |
shit i was hoping this would be good :/

I know how much you enjoyed his past work so I'm sorry to see you didn't like this album as much Xeno. Overall I think this was a really good review although your summary is kind of bland. Besides that, no complaints so pos
|
| |
Aside from that sloppy mess of a first sentence, awesome review xeno ;]
(it's only cause i'd never lie to you buddy!)
|
| |
This isn't great, but I certainly couldn't rate it a 2.5 either. Given that this is a film score I don't think it should really be treated the same as his standalone albums.
