codeine Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah I checked out the CD and it's like $27 USD after shipping, but they also charge tax apparently? I don't think that's included in the $27 either. So like $35 Canadian or something? Crazy. Totally weird that they charge tax because I'm in Canada and I'm pretty sure that legally, it doesn't work that way. Never been charged tax on a purchase outside on Canada before.So I'll probably wait and see, or maybe take a chance on the CD if I can find it for a reasonable price. Vinyl was close to $50 USD for me I think so that's far too much to take a chance on, even based on the preview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 That has the be the highest BPMs Sunn O))) has ever had in any song. Judging from the clip, I'm not sure this will live up to the names of those involved. Agree with the person who felt their best work was the Boris collab. Other than that M&D was okay and the collab w/ Ulver was also underwhelming considering the names involved. Not going to write it off as the Lulu of doom just yet based on a short clip, but I was envisioning something transcendent, but I expect it to be more along the lines of the Ulver collab in terms of achievement. This sounds exactly like what a Sunn + Scott Walker album should sound like. That preview was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPH976 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 This sounds exactly like what a Sunn + Scott Walker album should sound like. That preview was great. I agree completely. Very excited for this one. Creative process is obviously different for Scott this time around. I think he typically writes lyrics first and creates music to complement them. I love Bish Bosch.

Naw, but I'll prob pick it up when it's closer to release date anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Anyone who's listened to the leak have a verdict? I listened to it yesterday and I'm not entirely sure what I think. It's not bad, but it feels less like a Sunn record that I was hoping for. It's less drone and more ambient/noise. I think Walker fans will probably dig it more than Sunn fans will. I'm going to listen to it a few more times and figure out if I want to pick it up. That price point is a little steep for me to pick something up that I don't love.

codeine Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It sounds like Scott Walker doing the soundtrack to a bondage dungeon. Cloudsbelow and ratbrain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neanderthal Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I've listened two it in full twice. I actually really enjoyed it. Don't know if it's something I'd spin at home, but just in time for HELL-O)))-WEEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Got mine today and pretty stoked to hear it. I never normally read reviews of albums but everything I've seen about this says it's great. Scott Walker can do no wrong in my opinion (aside from maybe The Moviegoer) tetsuodaironman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratbrain Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 After trying and failing to get through this a couple times, I finally made it to "Bull" today and everything really clicked. Particularly the line "leaping like a riverdancer's nuts." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Just on the cusp of "clicking" with me. Initially I felt as if this album was lesser than the sum of its parts, and that it felt way more like a Scott album than a Sunn album, but it is growing on me. So far it doesn't touch Tilt or The Drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caninesapien Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Also forgot to mention I was pretty pissed off with the fact that it's only 3 sides of music. Didn't even realise until I tried to flip the second record. I feel like this could have been a really strong 1xLP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bortx Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 This record has grown on me to the point that I need to listen to it at least one or twice every day. Then I watched this video and I'm shit scared what is that that has grown on me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
