Album Rating: 1.0 | Sound Off

I think we can all agree that this band sucks.

does not read like a 1

"does not read like a 1"
how so?

Album Rating: 1.5

Nice summary. That album's actually good at least.

Disbanding Pendulum in favor of creating Knife Party has to be the most career killing decision I've ever seen a musician make. Pendulum was really great, and while their music might not go to the history as the most original or best electronic band, they had a great sound with neat variety, and most importantly, most of the songs were fun. Knife Party is so generic, and I don't see the appeal of why they would jump off Pendulum (who had just started expanding their sound outside of just DnB) to Knife Party which is just the most generic dubstep imaginable. Surely Pendulum must have the most interesting possibilities?

I know Rob Swire has talked about a possible Pendulum album in 2015, and it would warm my heart, but I gave up on Knife Party after two EPs. From creating some of my favorite electronic music with Pendulum, they are now making some of the most generic music in a genre (brostep/dubstep) that I just can't stand. It's a shame.

how so?
There is the part where Oranges said some songs were "not entirely irredeemable", but that would make it more of a 1.2 at most imo

is this Diplostep

What is the purpose of making a full-length EDM album? People just go and carve the album to pieces by purchasing overpriced individual tracks on Beatport. I really want some EDM fuckboys to come in and defend this.

it's all about the Benjamins

if you dont release tracks they can't be bought individually on beatport

Green Baron is retarded.

Also, I'd like to invite these hacks to a knife party. Awful shite.

lamo! i enjoyed rage valley i should give this a listen tbh

But wouldn't it make more sense from a marketing stand-point to cut it into three individual EP's, add a couple remixes on each and then release them over the course of two months in order to create more hype?

apparently not

A couple of friends of mine dig Knife Party, don't know if it's shit or not. Congrats on that feature, Oranges.

yeah like anyone is actually going to sit through an entire edm album lmao

besides oranges i mean and look at the result

there's apparently people sitting through entire btbam, brand new, judas priest, led zeppelin and amity affliction albums so why would that surprise you

i don't think that one worked as well as you thought it would

should've added king crimson, death and opeth agreed

i think it worked pretty well
