Derek™ Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 This blind pre-order will be total success if this album is half as good as their last one. Packaging sounds ace for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iron666monkey Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Not much dude! Checking out your website. Very rad. For some reason I wasn't aware of this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 With cover and shirt artwork I was wondering if this was the same band.I loved their dark and evil angle, it was different. This looks like a lot of the usual post rock stuff. Their first album is one of my fav post rock records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Got a chance to listen to the new song. Is this really the same band? Sounds like they've gone all Caspian? Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Not sure how you think this sounds like a different band. It sounds like Black Clouds to me. I respect what you're saying but disagree. Plus, it's pretty hard to base what an entire album will sound like off a 3 minute song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Sounds like they've gone all Caspian? Wait, how would this even be considered a negative? Not sure how you think this sounds like a different band. It sounds like Black Clouds to me. I respect what you're saying but disagree. Plus, it's pretty hard to base what an entire album will sound like off a 3 minute song. Bingo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Just going off the artwork, the title, and the music. What else? Nothing wrong with Caspian, just loved these guys because they stood out from the pack with everything I already mentioned. I guess I am the only one who sees a different direction? I did still buy the record. We can only wait to see how the whole thing sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I haven't even listened to the new track yet, but I just interpreted the phrase "gone all Caspian" to hold a negative connotation. We're entitled to disagree, but I actually feel like Caspian are among the best at what they do. Over their discography, they've proven that they're capable of way more than just cookie-cutter post-rock and crescendos. (Especially with Waking Season.) If I were in a band that was compared to Caspian, I'd be flattered. But in anticipation of the new Black Clouds, I went back and listened to Everything Is Not Going To Be OK last night. It's certainly heavier - at times - than a lot of generic post-rock... but there are totally some Caspian moments on that album, too. And I say that in the best way possible. Just really well post-rock with appropriate builds, riffs, and tempo. Obviously I hope that Black Clouds continue to carve their own niche into the overwhelming spectrum of "instrumental music", and I do believe they'll have a good variety / a few surprises up their sleeve with the new record. Chalk it up to optimism, but I have a gut feeling they won't be aping Caspian anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomfortunepa Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I understood what you meant lexicondevil. I am not a huge Caspian fan either and do like the darker almost apocalyptic sound Black Clouds have and hope they continue on that path. lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Just to clarify again, I'm not against Caspian, I have all of their records. I just don't want Black Clouds to sound like them. This band had a darker sound that set them apart from the lighter, glimmering, and soaring post rock that we usually buy and enjoy. Black Clouds sounded like a deep, dark cave dripping with stalagmites with the ground covered in guano. I appreciated that about them.

drds89 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I enjoy EINGTBOK- got referred to them via Pandora some time ago (they are in my 300 want to own on vinyl list - but mp3's have to do for now) I will wait to hear this one out, don't think it will sell out. Excellent postrock, with my favorite tracks also being the 'darker' ones, which I always referred to in my head as Nadja-light ....and wanting them to take it a notch heavier. Caspian rule, in every department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 A board member was selling their clear copy to raise some funds and I bought it a month or so ago, having listened once or twice, and being a bit 'disappointed' vs EINGTBOK. Got it cleaned and brushed, and just keep forgetting to post here for my friends who had expressed a bit of a let down - give it another go. I am so glad to have revisited this album, because I really look forward to spinning it now. disclosures: none, not friends with band members, nor receiving any remuneration for this advertisement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
