Fucking bitch. I don't actually physically own Themata. How do you know btw?



Having to wait for people to write them up on the internet is annoying.

My copy came today in the mail :D

They used to have the lyrics for Themata up on their website so maybe they'll do the same for this.

Nah, I'm buying the real deal on Friday anyway, so I might as well wait. Just superbly frustrating that no-one has thought about sticking up a youtube video, or lastfm hasn't updated it into it or whatever.

got a reminder in my snail-mail box telling me I had a parcel at the post office... I practically floated there, and lo and behold, my signed copy of 'sound awake'



it's truly spectacular. erases birds of tokyo's mediocre from memory.

Birds of Tokyo mediocre? I take it you haven't listened to the latter half of Universes.

I've pasted some of this from my comment about the stream but-



Brilliant album.



just as if not more technical than Themata. Interesting time signatures, great vocals (Ian Kenny never dissapoints in that regard), great drumming and some really catchy songs.



all I Know, Deadman and especially New Day are the standouts.



I like the more complex, epic songwriting that they've introduced to their songs now. Its no way near as anthemic or catchy as Themata but the songs have more to them.



I would rate the songs-



Simple Boy- 4/5



Goliath- 4.5/5



New Day- 5/5 (i would give it 50/5 if i could)



Set Fire To The Hive- 4.5/5



Umbra- 5/5



All I Know- 5/5



When The Medicine Wears Off- 3.5/5 (A bit pointless)



The Caudal Lure- 5/5



Illumine- 5/5



Deadman- 5/5



Change Part 2 5/5



It may seem very generous to people but i'm a Karnivool fanboy.

Excellent album, but i can see this as one i will only enjoy when i have the time to listen to it in it's entirety.

It's hard for me to rate individual songs because the album is a lot better as a whole. It's not one of those mainstream bands who release one good song and 20 ****y ones.



But i'd have to say my favorite are



The Caudal Lure

Goliath

New Day

Simple Boy

Illumine

Set fire to the hive.
