Title: It's ok to like it
Post by: Csar on Jul 21, 2015, 19:52
I do. Except for "Just Bang" and some minor nitpicks.

I like it.

And I like Just Bang. And that's okay, too.

I love pretty much all of it. I'm not sure about Taste Of Honey, but that's about it. I'm skipping Go and Sometimes I Feel... just because i exhausted those as soon as they were released pre-LP.

I like all of it. But I'm really not keen on the original track order,  so I've rejiggled.

its got more high than lows but some of those lows are some of their lowest.

but i like the idea behind it, after reading a lot of interviews/articles.

And this is probably the most i have been involved  on here in the release of one of their albums and i have enjoyed all that. loved the build up.

Taste of Honey is a great example of why they're some much more than mere electronic dance music producers and why my appreciation for their sound has grown so much over the years. It's like Harpoons, unusual, exploring sound within sound with a kind of movie soundtrack feel to it. The outro is a bit weird but damn, that bell chime sound is just fascinating. It's also very Beatle-esque. Lennon would have had fun singing on it.

I'm liking it more, despite my post about not liking it.  I actually like the idea of "Just Bang", but it doesn't seem fully realized.  I keep waiting for it to drop.

I actually like the two bonus trackins, Let us Build a City, and Wo Ha, a lot.

Same here. I have listened to the album on random for the last 2 days, but when i listen to it regularly, Tracks 4,5, and 6 could have spread out more throughout the album. I mean I'm always going to those tracks first.

Been skipping TOH! it's not a terrible track, it's just out of sync from the rest of the album. Maybe TOH should've been a bonus track after all!
