It's all pretty accessible, though.

False.

Accessibility does not = bad

illpressureurhinges1 12-16-2007 02:13 PM

I still think No Stars Over Bethlehem is their best song so far. With Blindfolds Aside coming in at a close second.

Tyler 12-16-2007 02:16 PM

I was sick of Blindfolds like a month after Kezia dropped. It was so over-saturated here, with all the radio gigs and coverage they get in TO. Plus I had Blindfolds as early as June, when the album dropped in August. Same with Nautical and Heretics. Those three tracks are conveniently my least favourite.

illpressureurhinges1 12-16-2007 02:19 PM

Well I also live in California and just found out about PTH like 3 months ago. So they are all pretty new to me and just in like the last few weeks have I really started to listen to them alot. And as of right now, those are my two favorite tracks.

I love Blindfolds, but I agree about Nautical and Heretics.

I never really much cared for Nautical. I liked Heretics alot at first but its gotten a little old. And it has one of the strangest videos I have ever seen.

LifeInABox 12-16-2007 02:40 PM

All the videos from Kezia suck except for Blindfolds. That video is ace.

illpressureurhinges1 12-16-2007 02:41 PM

That video is pretty sick. I don't understand what the hell they were thinking when they made the video for Heretics though...

NemesisDivina 12-16-2007 02:41 PM

I like the video for Heretics, it's so random and the ending is hilariously gay :lol:

LifeInABox 12-16-2007 02:42 PM

Divine Suicide is hilariously gay as a whole tbh

Tyler 12-16-2007 02:43 PM

I just got really sick of Blindfolds because of how it was handled live and just in general. With all the delays Kezia saw (seriously, you people waiting for Fortress don't have any idea), they played Blindfolds for what felt like a year before the record even dropped. While they played She Who Mars almost as consistently, it was changed enough in the recording to keep it fresh. Same goes for Plateful, which was the first new cut they played (I still remember how they introduced it: "This is about a little girl in front of a firing squad), but then they gave it a break and the final cut was altered in favour of groove and melody.

Plus, I really don't like how Blindfolds transitions, mostly because it doesn't. The shift to the acoustic part sounds like an accident.

I take it you mean the video.

[QUOTE]That video is pretty sick. I don't understand what the hell they were thinking when they made the video for Heretics though...[/QUOTE]
They were thinking it was funny, and as a concept it was. It just wasn't well executed; most notably the first half with the sepia tone. It's just bizarre.

But the second half in colour is awesome IMO.

In the end, Blindfolds and These Colours and Bloodmeat are great videos, while Heretics and Divine aren't. 3/5 ain't bad

Like seriously where do you get the idea of a music video with flying monkeys? So freaking random. I still haven't seen the video for Divine Suicide though.

Um. The Wizard of Oz? Are you seriously that stupid?

illpressureurhinges1 12-16-2007 02:46 PM

Well I know that, I mean like why would you want to make a video with flying monkeys based on the Wizard of Oz. It's so random.

Tyler 12-16-2007 02:47 PM

How is it random? They're all big musical fans and they thought the concept would be quirky enough to be funny. They just overdid it with the weird narrative at the start. Had it just been them performing in monkey suits it would have been awesome.

Yeah, the video.

illpressureurhinges1 12-16-2007 02:48 PM

Yah. I guess that would have made it better. But the whole them trying to find jobs was weird. I liked it better once it all went into color.

NemesisDivina 12-16-2007 02:49 PM

Don't watch the video for Divine Suicide, it's completely idiotic, the band had no say in it whatsoever.

Is it really that bad?

LifeInABox 12-16-2007 02:50 PM

Yes.

BoboTheRagingHobo 12-16-2007 02:51 PM

So I have been trying to buy the Blood Meat single off of Itunes and Much Music, but I can't get it to work since they won't let me have my billing address in the States.

/never used Itunes before as well

Frustrated and confused.

illpressureurhinges1 12-16-2007 02:51 PM

Who is the girl who does the vocals at the end of Blindfolds Aside?

I've have to check her out. I like her vocals on Kezia. I wonder if she'll be on Fortress too...
