The german music magazine VISIONS rates The Death Defying Unicorn with 12/12 Stars! The reviewer says the maximum is the minimum that it deserved!
I'm so f*cking excited about this album!!
Why are they unable to produce anything less than a masterpiece?
I'm too tired to write more right now, but: conclusion: The Death Defying Unicorn = MP!
well, i will not listen to the snippets but a friend of mine did.
he was not very happy about what he heard. he said:
"Have you ever been in an opera? … So with a small pair of binoculars and so on.
Soon you will sit in one… in your own room"
Don't listen to that! I bet you that most of the "operaish" things he heard are intros for songs. And in case i'm mistaken, then believe me, there are some solid rockers in there aswell! I wouldn't worry about it.
yeah, probably you´re right with the intros…
i must say i´m very excited about the album. somehow i like the idea with the orchstra and stings and stuff
i hope it will sound "huge"!
I just listen to the first two snippets. I love jazz, but I got bit worried after snippet two, as it had way too techincal "oooh, see what I can do" prog shit vibe for my taste. Hope I´m wrong, and I´m probalby are (HMF does not fall into the "progshit" category). I think they are best when the get locked in a groove and go on and on and on. This with some crazy freejazz on top would be nice, but I´m probaly wrong about that as well.
Better not listen to the snippets and wait for this lovely beast to arrive.
Arg, is it february soon?
hehe, "see what I can do prog shit" is the least of my worries when it comes to Motorpsycho. Actually I don't worry about this at all. The guys – as any other musician working hard for 25 years – are ever evolving. It's natural. I'm none less than happy when they don't hold back what's piling up through time, be it ideas, visions or even – gasp! – uncool (according to the indie style police) musical skills. I find it much weirder – and actually a bit dumb – when a band still does exactly the same riffing over and over on a 24th album.
oh yes I couldn't help listening to about 5 snippets either. For me they don't reveal anything at all. But going out on a limb I bet it's probably a bit different than Phanerothyme.
Stickfrau on Twitter about an hour ago:
There are mountains of mailorder packages stacked everywhere and lots more to go still!
I listened to all of the snippets. I think the snippets aren't very representative, as it looks like the one choosing 'em decided to almost entirely focus on the string/horn parts :lol:
I don'think they're chosen as much as that they're simply the beginnings of each track. As for "worries" regarding the album, the only thing i find abit troubling is that some of the vocal lines really sound like that danish band Mew, which i don't like that much. But all in all i've got high hopes, and i'm very excited! Bring on the masterpiece
The biggest surprise for me was the snippet of track 2, The Hollow Lands. That one was totally The Mars Volta all the way! Snah & Kapstad have been spotted at Mars Volta gigs in Oslo; finally it paid off music-wise :lol:
As for vocals, I really don't care all that much. I expect the same "slightly off-key" Bent as always :MPD:
I love that statement btw! Expectations rise!
