cbmartinez 03-17-2008 07:18 PM

yeah i dig that part at the end when the cut the tempo but the whole song just has that good folksy feel that they do so well

cbmartinez 03-17-2008 08:08 PM

i gave in temptation and downloaded Water Curses and holy s[size=2]h[/size]it, it's so good

YDload 03-17-2008 08:17 PM

Unwed Sailor - [i]Little Wars[/i]

not the album of theirs that i wanted but its still pretty good. instrumental, a lot like the interludes on highly refined pirates at times (both bands are from Seattle maybe they like each other's styles??)

Happymeal 03-17-2008 08:54 PM

Blank Dogs
John Maus

They go well together.

pulseczar 03-18-2008 01:45 PM

hooray it finally leaked. took a while to, this one.

Time 03-18-2008 01:48 PM

i liked the stream so I pre-ordered it, and I'm probably getting tix to see Kozelek soon. It's been a good day for me with Sun Kil Moon

perriwinkle 03-18-2008 01:56 PM

i'm downloading this right now

Neoteric 03-18-2008 02:15 PM

Good, everyone should.

Tyr 03-18-2008 02:21 PM

New Sun Kil Moon

It's good, but I think I like [I]Ghosts of the Great Highway[/I] better.

Neoteric 03-18-2008 02:35 PM

Give it time to sink in, jeez.

Tyr 03-18-2008 02:41 PM

Yeah, but I think it's a little too long.

perriwinkle 03-18-2008 02:49 PM

theres no such thing as an album being too long

if you think its too long that probably means its boring

Neoteric 03-18-2008 02:54 PM

It felt long when I was listening to it, but I definitely wouldn't say it's boring.

I'll need to listen to this quite a few times to evaluate it, there is a lot of stuff packed into this album.

A Dead Modernist 03-18-2008 02:56 PM

She and Him - [I]Volume 1[/I]

I'm probably going to regret listening to/downloading this.

Tyr 03-18-2008 02:58 PM

[QUOTE=perriwinkle]theres no such thing as an album being too long

Maybe. A lot of the songs felt sort of same-y.

Neoteric 03-18-2008 03:02 PM

I think a lot of Mark Kozelek's melodies are very subtle. I think I'll listen to it really closely, usually with Mark Kozelek albums some lyrics or vocal rhyme completely sticks out.

Tyr 03-18-2008 03:04 PM

Vocals are not that important for me. I almost never listen closely to them. But you're probably right that I need to listen to it some more.

Neoteric 03-18-2008 03:08 PM

Vocals are important to a band like Sun Kil Moon.

I thought Ghosts of the Great Highway was average when I first listened to it, but I started noticing a lot of things from it and now it's probably in my top 20.

Tyr 03-18-2008 03:11 PM

Maybe I should listen to the vocals, then. Someday.

Iscariot 03-18-2008 03:12 PM

no you won't

Kyle 03-18-2008 05:03 PM

Paper Chase - [I]Young Bodies Heal Quickly, You Know?[/I]
Parenthetical Girls - [I]Safe As Houses[/I]
Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson - [I]Unnoticeable in a Tiny Town, Invisible in a City[/I]

3 amazing albums.

okay 03-18-2008 05:52 PM

Sleep - Dopesmoker

this has been really growing on me

Liebensaft 03-18-2008 05:53 PM

What's it sound like? That album's been getting name-dropped a lot lately.

Anxious 03-18-2008 05:58 PM

Its a 50 minute epic doom metal song.

okay 03-18-2008 06:04 PM

just really, really sludgy stoner metal. if you've heard Boris' Heavy Rock, its like that, just slower and heavier

Liebensaft 03-18-2008 06:14 PM

just downloaded it

Anxious 03-18-2008 06:43 PM

Blonde Redhead- "Pink Love"

Mount Eerie- [I]Black Wooden Ceiling Opening[/I]

Liebensaft 03-18-2008 06:44 PM

gotta check out that Mount Eerie. Downloaded it last week I think. Downloading new Sun Kil Moon Right now and checking out Why? for the first time. They're good.

samariah 03-18-2008 06:45 PM

good song

ive been digging "Missile" and "An Expression of The Inexpressible" as well as "Loved Despite of Great Faults"

Anxious 03-18-2008 06:46 PM

At first I hated Mount Eerie because he turned into a really really bad singer-songwriter, but this album is like the Microphones all over again..


I'm sorry Phil.

[QUOTE]good song

ive been digging "Missile" and "An Expression of The Inexpressible" as well as "Loved Despite of Great Faults"[/QUOTE]
Those are great. I'm leaning towards "Pink Love" as my favorite song by them, but then again all of [I]Misery is a Butterfly[/I] can qualify. Except "Equus". Not Equus.

samariah 03-18-2008 06:51 PM

i enjoy that occasionally, not my fave though

Anxious 03-18-2008 06:53 PM

Its a good stand-alone, but it doesn't work in context with the album. I know Kazu wanted to have a song about her horse fall, but this wasn't the time or the place for it.

Liebensaft 03-18-2008 06:56 PM

It seems like I've been missing out on Blonde Redhead. I've only got [I]23[/I] and [I]...Certain Damaged Lemons[/I]
