04.26.14 | Permanent Shadows might be the best song I've heard in a while. You've got talent! |
Judio!
04.26.14 | :] that means a lot man, thank you! Keep in mind too that this is just as much laughingman's work as it is mine. Be sure to hit me up when you've finished listening to the album, I'd like to hear your opinion on the whole thing. |

04.27.14 | Omg sweet I'll listen sometime, better rule!!!! |
laughingman22
04.27.14 | "I would love to, but it's post-rock):"
Its mildly post-rocky contains more of the other genres listed in my opinion
"Omg sweet I'll listen sometime, better rule!!!!"
It always feels weird listening to you own work, and I usually hate all the songs I've created, but I really do enjoy listening to this album. So yes it does rule
|
Judio!
04.27.14 | I would love for you to as well sharktooth :[
And thanks everyone! After you guys check it, if you could rate the album I would be most appreciative! :] |
BMDrummer
04.27.14 | Will check it out. Since it's kind of post-rock, does it sound like Godspeed at all? |
Judio!
04.27.14 | Not at all. Godspeed are one of my favorite bands but I doubt id be able to replicate them in any way. Still, thanks for checking! |
BMDrummer
04.27.14 | I heard Godspeed influence, but this is a lot different. So far this is really cool stuff! |
laughingman22
04.27.14 | thanks bro, Godspeed was an inspiration for certain moments but we never wanted to sound just like them. There is a whole
collection of artist that influenced the creation this album |
Judio!
04.27.14 | Nice to hear you're enjoying it so far, BM. Don't forget to rate it once you finish :] |
GmemberKills
04.27.14 | Plan to jam this later tonight. So Stoked. |
ScuroFantasma
04.27.14 | Track 3 is sweet stuff, really gloomy and the piano/keyboard is hauntingly amazing |
Judio!
04.27.14 | Thanks man, I put in a lot of extra work into that song so I'm happy it turned out ok! :] |
Judio!
04.27.14 | Dear everyone who has streamed or downloaded this album so far:
This is actually really humiliating, guys, but I uploaded the wrong version of track 3 (Permanent Shadows). The one I uploaded lacks the orchestration the revised version had and is way too soft. Uploading the new one right now and getting rid of the version I had before. I you guys could download the new one and get rid of the old, quiet version, I would be forever in your debt. Sorry about this once again. |
silentstar
04.27.14 | music video was sweet |

Funeralopolis
04.27.14 | I actually really like this so far and I'm not usually into this type of music. |
Judio!
04.27.14 | :] Thank you Funeralopolis, hope you enjoy the rest of it as well! Would appreciate it you would give it a rating and some feedback upon finishing it. |
Funeralopolis

fallenbird
04.27.14 | Hey guys, sorry I couldn't listen on release day I was busy, gonna buy this as soon as I give it a first listen |
Judio!
04.27.14 | No worries fallenbird, I think most people who said they'd check it haven't gotten around to it yet. And thanks bro! Based on what you said about "Long Walk Home" I think you will really dig this. |
fallenbird
04.27.14 | I'm almost finished with the album and I'm planning on reviewing it later. Purchasing it right now. |
Judio!
04.27.14 | :] Yay! Thanks dude! |
Funeralopolis
04.27.14 | I've listened to this album about 3 times today, 4 in total. I might write a review of this once I let it sink in but these are my impressions so far:
-has a really bizarre atmosphere that makes you think, it is actively engaging with all of the weird noises it has to offer
-Permanent Shadows is easily the best track
-top 5 would be: permanent shadows, judgement and bliss, the empire in ruins, teary eye of the storm and ascend the storm
- There is a lot of diversity on this album, I really dig the harsh thudding, industrial drums I think they work really well with the music. Sigur Ros pulled off harsh drums really well on their last album and I hope that this is a thing we'll get to see more often with post-rock bands.
-The horn or whatever section on Long Walk Home is so damn punishing in maybe a good way, who would have thought horns could be so brutal?
Cons:
-not all ideas feel fleshed out, for an ambient/ post-rock album it jumps around A LOT. Clearly you guys had a lot of ideas that you wanted to put into this album but it is sometimes distracting how much the ideas jump around.
-Some songs really use head space very effectively while others leave a lot to be desired. Permanent Shadows and Teary Eye are probably the best in this aspect.
-Some of the song writing is questionable on here, it sometimes feels like layers are very arbitrarily peeled away or added without much point to it.
overall I really enjoy this record but it does have some noticeably frustrating flaws imo. Still though this album is more entertaining than most I've heard in the genre would probably give a 3.8/5 |
Judio!
04.27.14 | Thank you so much for the input, Funeralopolis! We'll definitely try to take your criticisms to mind on our next release. And I would love for you to write a review dude, if it's not too much trouble :] Thanks again bro! |
Judio!
04.29.14 | Have any of you guys who said you would check this out given it a listen yet? If not dont worry about it, but only four people have given me feedback or rated the album so far and I'm very anxious to hear your guys' opinions on this. If you've checked the album out, I would really appreciate it if you would give this a rating and/or shoutbox me with feedback, I'm always looking to improve. Thanks in advance!!! :] |
