This is an insanely calming record
|

Album Rating: 4.4
This sounds uneasy at times and the percussion can be pretty loud but yea a good deal of this is calming, especially after the first third of the album.
|

don’t find this insanely calming at all. campfire headphase fits that descriptor better

Yea campfire is more melodic and accessible. It's also their best.

That reminds me of this one time I played "Oscar See Through Red Eye" for someone who'd never heard Boards before.
If I could bottle their expression.
|
| |
Oddly enough I played "Roygbiv" to bring them back, so to speak. A strange bridge, if you will.

Roygbiv is a more inviting way to get into this band I'd think. Same with Aquarius, probably the most mainstream sounding piece on here.
|
| |
Gun to my head, I would say "Aquarius" is my favorite Boards track period. So impossible for me to rank personally.

I still need to listen to the band more, but right now my favorites are Aquarius, Roygbiv, Music is Math, Sunshine Recorder, 1969, Dawn Chorus, Chromakey Dreamcoat, Dayvan Cowboy, Hey Saturday Sun, and Sundown.

"Everything You Do Is A Balloon" is up there for me as well.
All those are solid picks, Talons.

Balloon is up there for me as well.
Agreed Darius. I think it was Pitchfork that called this the most psychedelic album of the '90s, which I think comes out of how layered and hazy it sounds with the references to childhood and the past.

infinite indeed
|

That Pitchfork article was an incredible read.

The thing is, I actually enjoy their journalism. It's generally impeccably well-written. I just find myself vastly disagreeing with nearly every opinion they have post-2011.

Their opinions aren't usually that far off, aside from Tool (though I'm mostly sure they're joke reviews) and Ulver - Perdition City, but my main gripe is how condescending they sound. So many of their modern reviews seem like they're talking down to the reader.
|
| |
I mean its probably because they are.
