'Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs' is one of the most beautifuls songs ever
|

Saturday Morning Breakfast Show is one fucking amazing song.
Also, does this band remind anyone else of Failure?

Yeah this is a lovely album. Should jam it more, haven't done much in the last few years.

I remember this being their best, but don't know if I'd prefer Frames nowadays. I need to jam this band again soon.

Massive Bereavement and You Wish have the best riffs

Man the lyrics are so bad on this it almost ruins the whole album. Just when I thought Steven Wilson was bad for that, these guys cross my ears are give him a rum for his money.

These lyrics aren't anywhere near as bad as Wilson's, and they're also less grating - I never feel like they're a particularly prominent part of the the sound, more like a vehicle for the rest of the music, whereas Wilson's songwriting is more traditional and puts the lyrics in the centre of the mix.

I agree, most of the lyrics on here are far superior to your average alternative rock / progressive rock bands. If the lyrics on here are anything close to "bad", you must have ridiculousy high standards imho. Also, most of Wilson's lyrics suck infinitely more ("I'm through with pornography (...)","the action is lame" yadda yadda)

Amputee sounds so endlessly hopeful and optimistic (at least sonically). This should have been a gigantic radio single back in 2003

I can definitely see that, it's a shame they didn't get more exposure.

Yeah, everytime i tell someone that they are my favorite band i can't help but be annoyed that nobody knows them :/

Amputee was actually played on mainstream rock radio in their home country, at least briefly. It was the biggest exposure anything from this album got at the time.
Fans should check out this interview on the recent reissue of this, very fun and interesting read with insights on how this album was written and the band reflecting on their early years.

Definitely like this one more than the sophomore. Way more original (but still trying to battle in my head with the obvious influences, on Catalyst f.e.). But everything is just so damn beautiful. And I agree with the reviewer that the second half gives way more depth to this, but I felt the same with EIP. Definitely an interesting band. Can't wait to listen to Frames.

Frames is maturity at its finest. Just plain genrebending goodness too.

"genrebending goodness" that what I seem to keep searching for (:

Such a great album from the first listen. It hit me straight away much like jakob solace and cale drew.

So many artists i've seen live (for example Tesseract, Arcane Roots, Black Peaks) are also big fans of this group. They are what some people would consider a "musician's band"
