I'm getting my 2nd shot tomorrow. So bring on the tour! :MPD:
sorry for using this topic, it's the only TAIO related I find.
maybe this has been posted before, I certainly never saw this. NOX in an "embryonic" version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKA_088VAdY
Ah ok. Thx for info.
Agree wirh Aki above and also nice insights with that podcast. Thanks. I also agree with the points cloudhawker makes about the „breather“ songs. Somewhat similar to that nonsensical „All killer no filler“ idea I mentioned. As a mindgame it‘s surely fun to skip or swap songs around, but this band’s peculiar mindset made Sungravy, NOX, Tussler, Grindstone, Go to California, TDDU and Begynnelser, so all things Motorpsycho soar beyond any traditional approach. But in here that’s stating the obvious, obviously
Me I really refrain from petty criticism and unfulfilled (if any) expectations. If there‘s a song or an album that doesn’t do much for me, I still take it in as one piece of the puzzle and it sits quietly in the shelf with its brothers where it belongs. How dare I call anything they worked weeks or months on aimless or uninspired!? 8O It may be uninspiring to me/my tastes, meaning not much of a spark lits on my side but I can’t call it being uninspired on the artists’ part just because of that.
huh? Wasn't there a thread about the 16th just moments ago? Or did my internet break?
edit: it's back or I'm just going slightly nuts.
editedit: it's gone again! Who's doing that? Cookie monster?
Haha while listening to it a few times more with focus on the issue we discussed, I did notice more of what you were talking about. Not really in the guitars, though, but in the overall sound. But I still think that was the purpose in making a hard rocking album. Tame the flourishing soundabouts and make it tight.
Lurker? Sound or song? First half I find amazing, riffs to die for. The "noodling" in the 2nd half is challenging to my nerves, but hey, over the top is the way to go. Or as someone said: "anything worth doing is worth overdoing".
Bent getting that double neck was the best idea ever. I guess lots of the recent big stuff came inspired by this very beauty.
We should set up a new rule. Whenever one witnesses a new song live, (s)he has to describe it in all and every detail to the others. Note by note! It's a necessity.
@johnny
I understand what you mean, or what your priorities are. The loud sections do sound a bit wider and flatter as those on Trust Us for example, to this day my favourite sounding record (apart from the "lofi charm" of Timothy). When KoO gets loud, I'd rather put it in the realms of late 70s early 80s hard rock, when the early 70s aesthetics already have gone out of fashion. But similar to my response above to marc on the issue of chosen scales, I think that was simply the purpose, and not a flaw or oversight or bad decision. I just wonder if it's really because of analog vs digital technology. Not knowing how much of each has been used where and how anyway. Also different amps and mics and pedals and guitars were being used over the years. And according to reviews and praises all around, not a lot of people seem to bother about any overcompression here. Thankfully we're still lightyears away from the latest Tool record. That one I find way too "cold" and therefore doesn't move me at all as opposed to their first couple of albums.
