copelandkid Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Mare Vitalis Ring Wars Peregrine LLOs Sagarmatha Illumination Ritual Two Convos early sound is golden to me, but I think this new record will play realllly high. stoked.

Shelby Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Am I misremembering or did Sagarmatha get a pretty underwhelming response when it released? I remember seeing a lot of people say it was their worst back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All y'all are crazy to not put Ring Wars at number 1. It's different from everything else they put out really, but that shit is the perfect emo album. It's almost unfair to even include it with the rest of the discography. copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Ring Wars, to me, is SDRE: Just Not SDRE, the album. I enjoy it enough to own it but I don’t think it does the band justice for what they’d go on to achieve, even remotely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what your saying but I get no SDRE vibes off that album. I hear you though, I really don't think it should be lumped in with the rest of their discography because the other stuff expands their sound and does a lot more. EotRW is just possibly my favorite straight up emo album of all time and I discovered it at a time when I was suuuuuper deep into that whole scene so of course it's going to be at the top of their discography for me. copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It's def a SDRE album. Not a bad thing but they got their own sound next record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Yeah, it’s not exactly aping SDRE but I get the same “true emo” vibes from each, on top of that raw production. It’s great for a fix when you’re in that mood, so I totally get it. They do that sound very well and I bet it would be considered a heralded gem or staple of that era if they broke up after releasing it. I do love that sound and there’s no denying you can hear just hungry they were as musicians, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight1echo Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Ring Wars is definitely reminiscent of and inspired by SDRE. Weren't they originally named after a SDRE song or something? May be thinking of a different band.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigk's vocals put SDRE in a weird place where I never really think anything sounds like them. Musically though I see where you're coming from now. copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all leaving out Middle States EP making me a bit disappointed in the usual VC caliber (and don't tell me LP 's vs EP 's don't count!! ) I listen to Ring Wars and Lost Songs least often. I'm almost complete on this band with vinyl, missing a couple test presses. I have a sealed CD of December's Tragic Drive, too. Only other two bands I've remained almost completist: Rosetta (missing a few Tests) who are still active, but not going for all variants henceforth, just the beer -- and Gifts From Enola, who are thankfully (from completist) standpoint defunct, but saw them play recently. I predict a new album from them in 2023. Sold off Jakob, Caspian, Russian Circles, ISIS, etc. 21 hours ago, Sunshine said: Am I misremembering or did Sagarmatha get a pretty underwhelming response when it released?

Yes, because it's even more postrock/instrumental than LLO , Graveface may still be sitting on hundreds of black copies, RG's even thrown in free copies to clubbers. Those of us postrockers who were led to Appleseed via LLO tend to gravitate to it and Middle States EP. I never found Two Conversations off putting and Peregrine could be mainstream easily.

Also with rarities/collections (hence no Lost Songs). So it doesn't really feel like a fair fight to put em on a list of full-lengths for me. that said, i do have a signed Middle States CD somewhere, definitely a solid entry in their catalogue. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluethumb Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) All over this, love me some Appleseed Cast. I've always held Mare Vitalis in the highest regard - I think Storms is one of my all-time favorite ASC tracks.

zdkaiser Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I feel very fortunate to have been able to see ASC when they were touring LLO and earlier material. Never forget hearing Steps and Numbers live in Madison WI along the lake on a summer night. Outdoor shows are zee best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phabletzza Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 +1 for Mare Vitalis - Fishing the Sky was my intro to, and still IMO the best track by these guys. Hyped for the new record! Dougie Jones and throwgncpr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaoza Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 So in love with the opening song. Classic TAC with Chris's vocals, and layers of instrumentation. Just getting used to the different sound of the drums, not as pummeling I guess compared to previous records but still complimenting the song.
