dvv Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. Wouldn't consider myself a die hard fan to start collecting all their records but this album give me a new perspective on their creativity.

circuit bored records Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I was mostly referring to the kid wanting to cancel his order.If you click on that kids profile, the first thing that comes up are the music pages he's liked:Incubus The used Modest mouse Underoath I don't think this band would consider it a huge loss if that guy cancelled his order.

parkinglot Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I thought that comment was sarcastic, which was why I liked it. But if he's listening to Incubus, The Used and Underoath, it was probably serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticgoat Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not had a chance to listen as I'm at work, but upon receiving the digital download email I noticed my order state says shipped. Anyone else see that too? My order says that too. I'm gonna assume it's just a bug with the system that has occurred because the digital downloads have been sent out. edit: the download is missing $100 Tip...

circuit bored records Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 As much as i want to like this on first listen, that AP review is pretty much on point. The spoken word poetry does not help this album. And it's not the actual artform itself, but the elementary thoughts expressed about life, death, etc. throughout the songs. I'll hold off until I get the LP for a second listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm not understanding the hate towards the spoken word guy. If he's a tool, fine. But I'm sure there are a lot of people in bands we wouldn't like as people but we enjoy as musicians. Also, I can guarantee if these words were sung as lyrics, most of you haters would be all over how great and clever you thought they were. If you don't like it, cool, that's totally okay. But there's no need to pollute a PO thread with how shitty you think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subplotofcrows Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 This is extremely rough to get through and I'm usually open to a lot of music and poetry. The spoken word guy is trying to be important, but rather than grandeur it comes off as forced, trite and sophomoric. Music is good, though.

corey. Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Haha I just saw what alt press said: "his goofy delivery and cadence deeply and immediately incite all sorts of negative feelings in the listener: namely irritability and exhaustion, ruining whatever beautiful moment the band's developing below him. It's a pity, too, because Between Bodies seems to contain some of the band's best material to date" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I usually never read reviews, but was genuinely curious. I feel like reviews are fucking pointless cause all they ever do are use big words and elaborate similes to try to make it seem like they understand every bit of what the artist is putting forth. They tend to be redundant and don't really have any important info to offer. Either you like it or don't, honestly I couldn't give a shit.

YouLoveHisWife Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I actually like this more than I thought I would. It reminds me of the film Me and You And Everyone We Know. weird opinion, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeepo Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 BWM fixed the download issue, I'm giving this a listen through now. Sometimes the spoken word is effective. Some of it just sounds good. Sometimes he says some pretty odd and forced stuff. Musically, this is TWIABP's most solid release. I don't think the spoken word adds much as it could, however it demonstrates TWIABP's sense of creativity and musicianship. It also doesn't seem as different as I expected it to be.
