Can we (I) get names for these? I enjoyed two out of the three of these I've actually listened to (Buke & Gase and Rorcal, wasn't too big on Cult of Luna despite liking some of their previous stuff) and 2 are on my to get list (JT and The Knife).
i know that both agrypnie and primitive man are pretty good listens.
Anyone else really like Shaking The Habitual? Except for it's eyesore of an album cover. It's such a big departure from their last album (I've never listened to that Danish opera they did, so I'm referring to Silent Shout). Very interesting... Still haven't been able to stomach the 20min drone track. Not really as much as the immediate synthpop flare of Silent Shout, but there is something captivating about these songs.
there's 40 minutes of garbage packed into a pail full of delicious cheeseburgers.
fortunately the cheeseburgers are wrapped up, so you can still fish them out and eat the shit out of them.
Haha. Aside from that bothersome monolith they planted in the middle of the album, the only other song that is really non-listenable to me is Fracking Fluid Injection, and Crake/Oryx are just short interludes and of no interest to me either. A Cherry On Top is not my favourite. The remaining 8 tracks are all ace. Even the 10 minute long tracks like Raging Lung (my favourite), Full Of Fire and Stay Out Here beg to be replayed. There's lots of interesting things going on. Also I like the emphasis on percussion.
For now this is probably my favourite record this year.
Still waiting for something new from Gaga or maybe someone like her would emerge.
