@otherdemon: Sorry, "delicate" might be wrong word. I suppose "certain" is more correct.

I thought "Flick…" was left out because they weren't 100% pleased with how that recorded version turned out. Lacking some delicate feel they wanted to come through, or something. Good enough for being an EP bonus track, but not for the album, they figured. I'm (almost) sure I read or heard that 20 years ago

I trust you concerning those Demon Box shows. I bet even I had worshipped, of course :mrgreen: And altered track order brings a little, and just enough, unpredictability to it – good!

About Unicorn: actually I've never seen any need for the whole thing to be performed as one piece. I enjoy the album at home and in my headphones – believe me – but I had appreciated if they skipped about half of it live. I thought it felt a bit forced. And most parts work fine as individual songs on their own, I'd say.

Yes, kippenhok, of course it's up to the band members to choose whatever they want to play – I'm not saying anything else. I needed to air my feelings, which everyone is free to do :wink: I've felt so alone not supporting the "Whole Album" trend

Less opinions = boring! More opinions = fun! (That's just MY opinion.)

-"Motorpsycho performs Angels and deamons at Play at some festival(s)?"

-"And it´s allowed to dream of an anniversary tour, performing the whole album"

Am I the only one in the world that's totally against the "whole album in its entirety" live trend that never seem to come to an end? Really, when seeing bands play live I wanna be surprised when every song ends and the next one starts, and I think that this is one of many things that make Motorpsycho awesome – not being predictable during shows/tours.

The show I attended on the "Unicorn" tour was probably the least good Mp gig I've seen (good for being rock music, but not exciting compared to Mp's otherwise super high standard), and when fans here started to wish for a whole tour of complete "Demon box" album performances (after a few successful and appreciated shows of that), I just thought "let's NOT travel anywhere to attend one of those, if it happens"

YESSS! Great album! Thanks a LOT!

After third listen I started to skip "Spin…". It's really good, they do it very, very well, beautiful playing, impressive singing etc, but being a tune I'm already familiar with, it sort of ruins the whole "new album" feel for me, and hey, I'm not even THAT familiar with the song. But being placed first on side B, it's extremely easy to skip So, I shouldn't complain, but would have prefered to see it as a single-only (or part of an EP).

Luckily, I don't get any of the "LTEC"/"IALC"/"Phanerothyme" vibes some forumists mention, except for maybe some note combos. Those are good albums (with a few totally amazing tracks), but I'm already willing to say I like "HBM" more, and I'm super happy to not get a feeling of something already released, in that way.

I'm looking forward to hear Kenneth a bit more upfront and hungry again. If not happening, I'll claim it's waste of talent His work on "Behind The Sun" is beyond stunning, AND it's not show-off for the sake of it, but truly lifts the songs (I'm actually most impressed by what he's doing in the soft parts there, and to me that's top musician quality). But, as already told by others, his more laidback/anonymous approach here on "HBM" fits the material, because – yes – he really IS one of the very best drummers ever! But I'm sure I'll get more Kenneth on next album. Or, maybe as soon as on the soon to be released 12"? Which I run the risk of missing, due to impossibility to catch a show on the tour

Ouff, too much crap… I basically just dropped in to say:

I'd be surprised if "Here Be Monsters" is not my favorite album of 2016 by the end of the year. Total love!

Crap! I've been updating the shop site more than once every hour today, but still managed to miss it

[grindove]

Have you seen that seller's other items?

Eeeheh…

Amazing show! Despite the amount of, for me, non-favorite songs, this gig was fantastic! If only looking at the setlist, I'd say "disappointment", but I enjoyed every second of the concert.

Some pix (and a movie :oops: ) here.

Vocal melody/figure in "Un chien d'espace" = after 4:30 in "Future/now", right?

I haven't been able to play drums for 3,5 years, but anyways…

And, I don't know, not that I want to judge, but this might not be what to expect from a person with Motorpsycho, Stina Nordenstam, Songs: Ohia, The God Machine and Tom Waits as favorite bands/artists.

My grindcore band Sayyadina (from our last show, I suppose):

I was also in the hardcore punk combo Nice Idiot (my "slow" band):

I also had the opportunity to be part of the amazing Massgrav for a year, before my left wrist fucked up totally (filmed by the guy I replaced – who had to quit playing due to wrist problems – and I'm sure the drummer that replaced me is somewhere there in the crowd (Stockholm is not very big)):

I even tried to "sing" for a while, with I Quit!, 10+ years ago:

Talent – not my thing.

Don't forget the other end of it: if the venue/local promoter didn't make enough money last time, due to lack of ticket sales/attendance, maybe they're not very keen on running the risk of losing money once again?
