Ov3rdos3 Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 So how good or bad does it sound to you? 270146[/snapback] im like the only loser here who hasnt heard it yet. ive pre ordered it and am awaiting its arrival in my postal service box which is attached to the front door of my living quarters here in london. i will then post my opinion after listening to it under the influence of some higher grade marijuana.

Insejn Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 9 Only because the beginning (first ~10mins) is terrible. I just can't stand Beija Flor. The rest of the album is outstanding. It lives up to Shpongle imo. I think this one is better than Tales...But not as good as the first one. Quote
Kelp Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 I'm sitting listening to it now - BIG grin on my face, and that feeling.. mmmmh! I love it! I only liked 'are u shpongled' before of all their albums, and this one is like are u, except better... I love the way they blend in the vocals in some of the tracks... The first reaction, upon hearing Levitation nation, was radio frendly.. But it grows. I also like the bass in some of their tracks, it sounds jazz! Happy! Quote
Frantic Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 I find that in the first album you could really hear where Raja's influence came in. This album that is very much less so obvious. I feel that here there input was very well blent in together. Off course it's just my perception, i could be terribly wrong here off course... Apart from that side note i'm beginning to fall in love with this album the more i listen to it. But indeed, the beginning is bad. When the warm bassline kicks in at around 8.00 mins, the real thing begins. From there on it's brilliant, with some lesser parts towards the middle/end. Quote

It was more obvious in the first one. I won't be suprised if the sleeve says: w&p Simon Posford. Edit: It should be here any day soon. Quote
Hippie Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 am i the only one who loves Tales the most? Nothing Lasts is a great album.. but still, like it loses dynamic... here and there..... Quote
Towelie Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 i give 9 .. which is very much from me .. im nitpicker, theres few parts i dont like but rest is very good Quote
Cinos Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 am i the only one who loves Tales the most? Nothing Lasts is a great album.. but still, like it loses dynamic... here and there..... 270220[/snapback] I like both earlier albums pretty much equally. Quote
Indred Cold Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 7 I think it's better than tales but not as good as the 1st one although it is slowly growing on me. I agree with other person though I can hardly hear any of raja's stuff & I'm not a huge fan of the 20 chapters of one song thing. Plus it's only 67 minutes. Quote

Maybe its because im from Brasil, but i really like it... And about the whole album: its a masterpiece. 10/10 Quote
yantra Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 8 , and in my opinion only one album disearves the 10... Quote
kathmandu Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 i'll know by today evening. but have heard really good reviews of it, such as 'the best shpongle album yet.' Quote
alpha Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 if you compare it to other stuff released these days it deserves a 10. compared to other shpongle stuff... hard to say. Quote
Insejn Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Mmm.. why dont you like the first 10 minutes and beija flor? I love it.. Maybe its because im from Brasil, but i really like it... And about the whole album: its a masterpiece. 10/10 270325[/snapback] Because the first 10 minutes IS beija flor. It's cheesy, pretentious(?) and boring. The drums are shit. Quote
Cinos Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Because the first 10 minutes IS beija flor. It's cheesy, pretentious(?) and boring. The drums are shit. 270529[/snapback] Badger badger badger badger. Quote
Insejn Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Badger badger badger badger. 270536[/snapback] That is exactly how bad it sounds. Nice put Cinos. Quote
Cinos Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 That is exactly how bad it sounds. Nice put Cinos. 270551[/snapback] No, it's the sound bullshit makes when it comes out of your mouth. Beija Flor is genius. Quote
Insejn Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 No, it's the sound bullshit makes when it comes out of your mouth. Beija Flor is genius. 270564[/snapback] No, its the sound of shit coming out of my speakers. Beija Flor is utter shit. Quote
Cinos Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 No, its the sound of shit coming out of my speakers. Beija Flor is utter shit. 270571[/snapback] So you record your bullshit and listen to it with you music system? Quote
Insejn Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 So you record your bullshit and listen to it with you music system? 270576[/snapback] No, but Simon and Raja did it when they shat out that track. Uhm..Their shit. That must be the most logical explanation. Quote
Cinos Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 No, but Simon and Raja did it when they shat out that track. Uhm..Their shit. That must be the most logical explanation. 270580[/snapback] ...no, I can't come up with any comeback. Consider me pwn3d. But the track is still great Quote
