This is definitely not empty. The sounds used are way more conventional tho, it's the little move sound effect here, the horns there, the little noise -- like the synth effects the ambient tracks movies use -- that really doesn't attract any attention to itself but is there, just being, waiting for you to realize it's there >:]

this doesn't possess that distinct boc aesthetic imo. it seems sort of similar to a lot of ambient music being made right now, while their older albums were innovative and immensely enjoyable. i liked how like, their music was really dark and intense but catchy as hell, and nostalgic. that same nostalgia is still here, but the other elements i loved so much about their past works are gone.

Album Rating: 4.0

This is a solid 4.2 without the shitty boring songs tbh



I find this really dark and intense as well, so idk.

This is the darkest of the lot. Apocalypse, Neutralized cities, cold robotic beats. The film would star Michael Berryman

Digging "Telepath" and "Split Your Infinities" a lot, gyro re-check them out! >:D

i suppose the application is a little different. it's dark and actually really depressing at times, but it's different. music and geo were dark in the sense that they were both very creepy, oftentimes uncomfortable (especially the latter), whereas this is dark in that it's sad, imbued with this feeling of isolation. albeit it's occasionally creepy.

See I've really never understood geo, it's great, it flits in and out but it goes nowhere.

Album Rating: 4.0

@Gyro: Yeah that's all true tbh. I still dig this as a more ambient record tho, and I actually think there's a little hint of BoC aesthetic but it's kinda obscured, it's like a modern 2000s nostalgia, and I find that kind of creepy as well haha. Idk, I'm diggin >:]

Album Rating: 5.0

I definitely get that slaphead. It's like a post nostalgic thing or an empty nostalgia for clones. Yeah I'll stick with that one. Nostalgia for clones.

geo as an album is disjointed in many places. i enjoy almost all of it, but more as a collection of creepy songs.



i do still enjoy this album, and concede my biggest problem with it is me holding it up to its predecessors. it's a little unfair to judge their work now based on their work in the past but it's unavoidable. to me this seems like an album missing boc's indelible footprint. it's lacking its own identity. looking at it outside of that though, it does have a lot of great tracks

Album Rating: 4.0

But I mean, I do understand you're bummed cuz you like their older ones a lot :[ but I feel both you and I might be able to warm up to this, I'm starting to hear a little bit of genius in this that I didn't though this had, that's why I'm making all these comments haha. Idk, people in the past have made comments that made me change perception about albums and I feel you can like this a whole lot more if only you could feel what I'm feelin rn, hoping I can inspire those feelings in you but yea

Album Rating: 5.0

I get that as well gyro dude. I think this initially hit me hard because I was expecting 'more of the same' but not quite as good as the previous stuff. After the first listen I thought it was amazing and it continues to unfurl to this day.

Album Rating: 4.0

I have this tendency to expect things from albums, subconsciously; "I expect this to have the same aesthetic", "I expect this to be as good as their older ones", and even when those unintentional expectations are met, I still for some reason enjoy albums more when I'm able to momentarily forget about those preconceptions and just give them a listen. Literally a few minutes ago I was knocking this down, Idk what overcame me but I started listening and damn it clicked. I'm taking advantage of this occasion to comment a lot on this so maybe the feeling will stick around for longer

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah the banging on about it has motivated me to dig it out and spin it. It's bloody lovely.



Funny I can honestly say I've never expected anything to be as 'good as what came before' after a band have dished out the classics. I go into these things tentatively nowadays.

Album Rating: 4.0

Idk, I don't want to expect things from bands either, it just happens on a subconscious level so silently that I don't notice until those brief moments in which the expectations turn off and suddenly BAM



Again, this happens to me even when I like the albums, it's like I cannot get to know them because I know so much about the band. Idk I'm weird

Album Rating: 4.0

It's like the wonder of knowing a new band is gone, and now it seems like I'm used to the album so I don't (or can't) pay attention to it

Album Rating: 5.0

The initial impact a band has never detracts from the wonderment of a blinding album for me. Amazing bands are so few and far between nowadays but that's a different matter entirely.
