08.23.11 | i was astonished when i clicked on this and found it to not be a joke |
sixthgoldenticket
08.23.11 | fuck this is good |
taxidermist
08.23.11 | Holy shit, I also thought this would've been a joke. |

08.23.11 | Dude, this fucking rules.
Can't say I'm surprised. |

Good fucking shit, what a pretentious pile of drivel.
I will listen anyway, but still expect a pile of crap. |
taxidermist
08.23.11 | Hmmm...sounds ok so far. |
wyankeif1337
08.23.11 | wai,t this isn't a joke? |
taxidermist
08.23.11 | Nope. |
americanmusicmachine
08.23.11 | oh jesus lol (in reference to what josh d. posted) |
Trebor.
08.23.11 | Shit rules so far |
Trebor.
08.23.11 | It officially comes out tomorrow
|
taxidermist
08.23.11 | Holy fuck. Spirit Narrative owns. |
Josh D.
08.23.11 | I expected Ross Wolfe in here by now to try to tear down the site over the band coming back. |
wyankeif1337
08.23.11 | he's already promised a review. whether it's for this or for the full-length, i can't say. |
Trebor.
08.23.11 | He'll probably review both |
someguest
08.23.11 | "wow so far ATRU is a shit stain compared to this"
well that first song they posted from it sucked so I doubt this hyped statement |
Josh D.
08.23.11 | Way to overrate it already, guys. |
wyankeif1337
08.23.11 | are you kidding me? that first song slayed. i'll give the EP a spin once i finish the new Panopticon split. |
Comatorium.
08.23.11 | I gotta say, as someone who isn't intro ATRU all that much, this is fucking fantastic on first listen |
Trebor.
08.23.11 | The clean part in the 3rd song rules |
Josh D.
08.23.11 | It's clearly better than ATRU, but that isn't saying much. |
auberginedreams
08.23.11 | masterpiece |
wyankeif1337
08.23.11 | watching the 4.5+ ratings pile up |
Trebor.
08.23.11 | I've never heard a 4.5 album on first listen
|
Winesburgohio
08.23.11 | It's pretty solid just like every other CTTS effort is pretty solid.
Way of ever-branching paths is a cut above tho |
americanmusicmachine
08.23.11 | I think ctts are a lot like coheed and cambria, the lyrics are really stupid and you're kind of embaressed to like them but they write some great hooks and something about the stories they're telling and the mythology they create for their lyrics makes up for all the suckiness if ya know what i'm sayin' |
Josh D.
08.23.11 | The lyrics are terrible all around and in any sense. |
someguest
08.23.11 | nope |
Josh D.
08.23.11 | Just about finished with it all. Severely unimpressed. |
someguest
08.23.11 | yeah, that first song they posted was just one long heavy section with a bunch of babbling about bullshit I didn't even understand
I bet this sucks |
Ire
08.23.11 | 2:30 in
it's pretty good |
Ire
08.23.11 | ugh spoke too soon they fucked it up with a shitty spoken word |
someguest
08.23.11 | i don't know, let's ask all the other 16 year old experts |
americanmusicmachine
08.23.11 | @ josh d.
yh but they're no where near as bad as the khayembii communique, the saddest landscape, die, emperor die, etc. the genre as a whole has terrible lyrics at least ctts' crazy-shit wonder of their own genius is kind of inspiring. |
YetAnotherBrick
08.23.11 | Oh my god lyrics that aren't focused around one clearly and directly mentioned event or person that must mean they're "pretentious" and don't mean anything
fuck that shit. ctts's lyrics rule. |
Josh D.
08.23.11 | "at least ctts' crazy-shit wonder of their own genius is kind of inspiring."
No, no, and no. |
Josh D.
08.23.11 | "Oh my god lyrics that aren't focused around one clearly and directly mentioned event or person that must mean they're "pretentious" and don't mean anything"
I didn't see anyone say that. And that's not why they're terrible. |
YetAnotherBrick
08.23.11 | I didn't say someone in this particular thread said that, that's just what I've heard from other people before. And why are they terrible then? |
americanmusicmachine
08.23.11 | well it inspires me! but srsly ctts are basically the white suburbia english major version of wesley willis |
Trebor.
08.23.11 | I don't give a shit about their lyrics anyway
|
Josh D.
08.23.11 | Well the rest isn't special either. |
Comatorium.
08.23.11 | I cant understand the lyrics anyway so fuck it, the music is cool and i happen to love the skramz soooo |
YetAnotherBrick
08.23.11 | I'm waiting, Josh. |
Trebor.
08.23.11 | I'd say it's a 4 or a 3.5 |
acorncheese
08.23.11 | just listened instant 5 |
Acanthus
08.23.11 | Weird.... though the girls screams are interesting. |
Trebor.
08.23.11 | Kind of hot |
Acanthus
08.23.11 | I've never gotten into the group before, this albums mesh of indie/folk light instrumentation mixed with the hard sections is intriguing but not sure how long it's appeal would last. |
taxidermist
08.23.11 | 3.5-4 |
Electric City
08.23.11 | song 1 rules |
Acanthus
08.23.11 | I'm rather partial the the guys intonation on 4 personally. |
MO
08.23.11 | yuck |
Aids
08.23.11 | even though I'll probably like it (although much much less than most of the people here) I lold big time at:
"inb4 people pretend it's good" |
sixthgoldenticket
08.23.11 | it's a solid 4 for me
aids i laughed too even though this is great |
alexp9000
08.23.11 | 4 for me too. Hope full album doesnt disappoint |
acorncheese
08.23.11 | honestly it must suck hearing this much of the album before the full thing is even out. such a way to spoil it. |
witchxrapist
08.23.11 | This is so good. |
StrizzMatik
08.23.11 | If the rest of the album is as good as this it might be better than ATRU |

what in the name of fuck... |
FearThyEvil
08.23.11 | Just like people said above didn't expect this to be real. |
pmmets07
08.23.11 | even though i liked as the roots undo, i'm not in any hurry to listen to this. i feel like i know exactly what it's going to sound like. |
witchxrapist
08.23.11 | Tracks 1, 2, and 4 rule. Track 3 is really good until like half way in and then it teaters off. |
tkxxx7
08.23.11 | wait, what's wrong the Saddest Landscape's lyrics |
tkxxx7
08.23.11 | heard the first verse of the first song, sounded pretty cool but I have to go so the stream has to wait |
Gajarigon
08.23.11 | I was not really convinced by Way of Ever Branching Paths but this is definetly awesome. Spirit Narrative is the tits |
sportsboy
08.23.11 | i lol'd at a tribe called quest in a ctts list |
qwe3
08.23.11 | im so glad they used the best part of the ritual of names sessions in song 1 fuck it rules |

this is all pretentious nonsense, lies, and tomfoolery
I intend to rigorously challenge this through an application of Victor Turner's groundbreaking anthropological studies |
Jruined
08.23.11 | Hope I get to read it before it gets taken down. I enjoyed the last one, but didn't save it before it was gone.
Was a good laugh. |
Maniac!
08.23.11 | Hoping I like this a bit more than ATRU |
Maniac!
08.23.11 | So hey, this is actually pretty cool. |
tkxxx7
08.23.11 | Sometimes I wonder if mj secretly likes CTTS |
