Ov3rdos3 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I still prefer the new Trentemoller album to this... This one is good though. 8.5/10. There are definitely some 10/10 tunes on here though.... Ribbon on a branch is killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abasio Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Still not received mine yet thanks to the bloody postal strike. What do they think they will achieve by striking ay? The postal chiefs probably don't care they are just pissing regular people off! I've not bothered to get this one yet! The 1st album was very average to my spazzed up ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribbon on a branch is the best. Other favourites are Psychic Gibbon, I am a freak, All I want.. 9/10 -1 because of Sleepwalker What were they thinking?

Charlie Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 My copy's still not arrived and I've started thinking the postman's stolen it. Might put a couple of mouse traps inside my letterbox, break his bastard fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abasio Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 It's not been released here yet! Thankfully, I wont be tempted to buy it while I'm so skint! Although I'm not even that excited, I didn't like the first one that much! Is this better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Just listened through it while having a few brews and my impressions haven't changed much. It's a very skillfully crafted, slightly boring album of idm and rock-tinged electronica. "Ribbon on a branch" is still nice, good melancholy pop song. Sleepwalker 1&2 are filler, the intro of "I am a freak" is downright embarrassing. If they release it as a 12" single I'll probably buy it. Miles better than anything that has come from the Twisted camp since shpongle's 1st one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Mine finally arrived yesterday. Listened to it 3 or 4 times now and find, while it's nicely engineered and reasonably catchy, it's, dare I say it, a little bit boring. It's also probably the cheesiest work Simon has done, that's not to say the album is cheesey, but it's not far off. It could also be described as rather shallow as there's practically no multi-layering and I can't help thinking of it as Diet-Shpongle or Shpongle-Lite. At the end of the day, I feel Simon's far too talented a musician to be knocking out this kinda stuff. He can create music like no others can, you hear a piece and you know it's his work, a melody, a synth, a bassline, it's unmistakably Posford. Sadly this sounds like any number of artists could have created it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Holy crap, finally some people with some sense. I haven't had the urge to listen to it since the first few listens, just as I thought.

Charlie Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Surely liking/disliking the album has nothing to do with sense, understanding music or cleaning ears and is merely a matter of taste and expectations and whether those expectations were met. May sound strange, and perhaps unfair, but I think I'd enjoy the album a little more and not criticise it quite so much had other artists been responsible for it. The trouble is I can't help comparing it to the last Younger Brother album, Benji's two solo albums, and all of Simon's previous solo/collaborative albums and, held up against any of those, this new album pales into insignificance.
