Composite Head is too short to dislike. It just wanted to be on that record so bad, poor little thing. Be nice to it. And it has cool lyrics btw.
So I’ve heard. I had plans to go to Snowdonia this summer, but they changed. Maybe next year. A must see for a Led Zeppelin nut.
I must correct myself, just listened to Beyond the Flood for the first time in years, I actually liked it to the end. I remember enjoying it up to the solo parts, but then… and now… hm… maybe it’s the rainy day outside. The stringed/mellotroned(?) fade out is especially beautiful.
NowItsTimeToSkate is my twin brother. 8O
A short note to In The Family, I agree the guitar/mellotron line really is very slick, but then…
I love Hyena. Such a fantastically positively naive energetic boy-girl-dream song. And that Immigrant Song groove and the ringing cordal descent in the bridge.
I can’t help picturing Slash in the Flood. No J for me there. I’d even rather hear J in Hyena, come to think of it. And btw You Lose, who got a lot of dirt here, is one of my faves on that record.
Some people critise the sound on BHBC but I prefer it to the one on LLM. That one is a bit too much on the murky side for me.
Phew, it’s difficult to point out an overrated album from the most underrated band ever (un)known to mankind.
I can only think of some songs that I don’t rate that high like others do. “Vortex Surfer” for example. I’d prefer Taifun by an ocean. But the album itself is my 90ties Physical Graffitti. And that’s a good thing. Also productionwise the best sounding MP record to me. On a sidenote, live versions of “Hey Jane” don’t move me nowhere as much as on record.
I don’t think Love Cult is overrated, because I don’t remember anyone praising it as his favourite. “Serpentine” of course woooohooooo is fantastic, that vocal line, those odd bass slurps into the chorus and that harmony instrumental middle part. But count me in on the “Neverland” bashers. Yes I know it’s a fun song.
And there’s a live bootie version with an awesome guitar solo part.BHBC gets my lovin’. The energy and the groove, almost only fast songs. I never thought it could work like this, since I had no idea about Bent’s drumming. It goes to show what happens when bass and drums are conceived in the same brain, felt in the same blood. But there’s “Beyond the Flood”, that one creeps me. I always see some Slash dude on a sunset lit monument valley rock noodling away. It’s “Year Zero”‘s evil twin.
Geez I have to find an overrated MP album….. So I go for Angels and Demons then. There’s a bunch of classics like Starmelt, Source, Passionplays, H-Mac und der Hund. I’d say it’s the least consistent (is that an english word?) of them all. With “In the Family” as the low point.
Blissard I could nominate as well. After “Manmower”, the experience is kinda gone, the music just drags on for 2 more ditties. It stumbles home, worn out and drunk. Nice image though. But leaves me somewhat unfulfilled.
Demon Box shines due to a bunch of mastodons-dancing-on-a-volcano numbers. But yes, there’s some rough edges, stuff that could have used more time maybe? Experimentation by a starting unit with a vision. Or not, actually. But that’s its appeal and I can’t think of anything bad there. Songs usually not on my A-list like Sun Child strike me breathless when I hear them once again.
Cake’n’Thyme… I like them. But there’s just a couple of songs on each that give me the bumps. Stained Glass, 30/30, Phaseout, For Free, Fool, NLMout. Other songs lie in the spaces between nice, impressive and bland.
Timothy, of course, is the one. Always will be.
oh Evol, that was so very wrong. We had a nice discussion. Please put that pic back to the PS3 suxx! – oh yeah? u suxx! boards.
(and it’s quite fucked up anyway if one thinks about it)
Quote:ps: not agreeing with Psychonaut … at all. First of all demaninding a CD release *smacking own wrist and pressing “send Post”*Psychonaut is me? If so, I don’t understand this one.
I agree with GBD. You agree with GBD. You don’t agree with me.
Quote:Supernaut.1: If the artist does not want to have a part time at a supermarket, the artist IS concerned, that’s only logical, no shame in being commercial. And if it really is of no concern, why isn’t it released on a cd?
You’re getting too global here. It only concerns this one release, obviously nothing more or less than a special celebration of vinyl from and for freakish vinyl lovers. I can imagine all their CD releases so far have been market compromises for them. I think I repeat myself when hinting at the band’s generally uncompromised behaviour so far, what everyone seemed to enjoy, as long as they can get their hands on stuff. Not very uncompromising on the fan’s part, I’d say… but this is probably me defending the band again. Which it isn’t. I’m only trying to talk the – gasp! – big picture.
Quote:2: You seem to emphasize the the untouchability of the artists integrity quite heavily to begin with, the artist showing no compromize and blabla bla…Absolutely.
Quote:…while on the other hand you let the artist chase you to the hi-fi store?No. That would be mixing things up that don’t relate to each other at all.
I got me the hardware thingies to play all the music I like in whatever form. There’s no attitude, they’re just “things”, I don’t even know how to discuss this…
I cherish nice vinyl packages – who doesn’t? – but a record player is just a tool I bought one day. Like fridge, pans and a TV. No chasing I remember.
Quote:Why should I let that happen, when every single other album has been a cd release? (cue: Lucid, which reminds me that the space between songs on Demon Box varies on the LP release, hence the CD, with its excatly identical spaces, isn’t a complete edition, go for it L !
)- but as I mentioned in one of the early postings: Motorpsycho should be uncompromising in their Music, and not in form, not that I don’t think they shouldn’t be allowed to release the occasional collectible edition or whatever.I’ll never get you there. It’s only this one bloody album…
Quote:Calling it a “religion” is, in retrospective a big mistake, which ruins the discussion, since “everyone” is caught up in it. Calling some “mindless sheep”, although I know it’s true, wasn’t my smartest move, but calling my questions and opinions “whining and bitching” isn’t too constructive either.you should NOT have to buy a LP player, because the band SHOULD respect their fans enough to release this as on a CD as well.
Nah, some flashy words are ok. We’ve never really had any discussion on this board. Everyone’s been peachy with everyone and everything. Nobody hardly wrote anything more provocative than weeeeelll I don’t think I reeeeeally like Lobotomizer that much.
I dunno, I just can’t imagine going to the band and demand more respect from them by giving me their music on CD dammit who do you think you are!? Beyond me again, especially regarding their “career moves” so far. I’m feeling quite respected as a fan when I get a spectacular edition of their new album, when I pay not even half as much as for other bands for a 3 hours live set, when aftershows I can walk up to them and chat for a little in a human friendly manner, and blahblah whatnot…
uh oh I’m defending again.
Quote:That’s my opinion, and Jahve help me if God Bent strikes down on me with great vengeance and furious anger for it.lol, good one.
My dear stalemate, this is only the internet. A discussion here is due to fail for misunderstanding by its very nature.
I don’t see the duality there because there is none. And I wrote this all very consciously. I am not defending the band. This is where you start out wrong. I spelled out 2 main points:
1) It’s not the artist’s concern how people want to play their music.
2) Why the heck I should NOT buy a record player to listen to their new and probably great album which is only released on a medium I can’t listen to otherwise? What’s mindlessley religious about this, as you put it? Am I more of a thinker when I whine and bitch about it on the internet? I’m talking about having FUN. A positive attitude. Get me that bloody vinyl player, buy me the album and ENJOY it. If that’s religion, oh Lord please count me in.
Quote:The brand new Motorpsycho vinyl only release is a bit delayed due to the SPECTACULAR DESIGN WORK, but we hope it will be ready for release on 26. June.they really must hate their fans.
Well put, GBD.
And Stalemate, there’s no religious mindless following here. But you’re the one making a fuss.
I didn’t even know about that “buy a record player” pressrelease statement till now. But I like it.
Thinking about this: yes, if I hadn’t a record player and if it was the only way I could ever listen to a new record by my beloved band, why the heck should I NOT get me a record player??? Should I rather bitch about it? Calling those who’d happily buy one a bunch of mindless sheep? Weird.
