normaloctagon: Russian Circles r8nked

normaloctagon 01.24.25	Soundtrack to watching paint dry. I’m glad i did this discog run though because i discovered Memorial which is an amazing album
onionbubs 01.24.25	i gotta revisit these guys. i remember digging geneva and empros a lot but idk if ive even heard memorial. seems like its worth a jam been spinning these arms are snakes a lot lately so brian cook been on the brain lately ha
MTObsidian 01.24.25	Hot take: I think Guidance is one of their better albums. I really enjoy the way it all flows together. But I also totally get the "paint drying soundtrack" part of it too. Blood Moon was a pretty big disappointment for me.
normaloctagon 01.24.25	@onion I’m not sure you do haha. But i get it, i definitely got something out of my revisit @obsidian i could see that, i honestly couldn’t detect differences in the music for 5-8 aside from the production
Relinquished 01.24.25	I grew with 2 and Station didn’t grab me immediately except for Youngblood. Geneva and Empros def changed the game and honestly even if cuzzo’s on the last track for Memorial that’s when they started feeling same-y for me. It’s one thing listening to them on record but playing along or watching them live is a way more fun experience
0GuyMan0 01.24.25	Yep they are otherworldly live. A can't-miss act.
normaloctagon 01.24.25	Right on. I definitely dug that Chelsea Wolfe feature, it fits well with the album. Something about Memorial for me that actually sticks a full landing, but i imagine that’s different for everyone in the RC discog I saw them live a good few years ago and found myself pretty bored, but I’m looking forward to giving them a second chance on their tour with pelican!
Relinquished 01.24.25	I saw someone cry since it was show they went with their cousin and it was track from Empros that moved them, it was pretty heartwarming
0GuyMan0 01.24.25	It's a vibe. I first saw them touring on Enter, playing in the campus cafeteria oddly enough. Then I got to open for them on the Station tour, and have seen three others over the years. Its better every time.
widowslaugh123 01.24.25	Enter and Geneva rule but I kinda forgot about this band thanks for the reminder
Demon of the Fall 01.24.25	6, 4 & 3 are all pretty good, although I can’t recall the last time I heard them
CugnoBrasso 01.24.25	I saw them when they were touring with Chelsea Wolfe. Good sound and good production, but not really a band that I would be willing to travel more than 50 km to see.
JDubb 01.24.25	Love this band!
Sunnyvale 01.24.25	Agree with the top three albums being top three, but I'd go 3, 2, 1 in that order
RogueNine 01.24.25	Swap 8 and 5 and I'd say you're pretty close.
omik1116 01.29.25	5 is 8 by a good margin. I'd say guidance is damn near 1 but it's splitting hairs for me among the top 7
Couteau 02.13.25	Great tracks on each release but especially love Memorial, Enter & Station. Blood year is last IMO.
