It's an interesting album, that's for sure.
I need to check Sax Ruins actually.

I'll let you know what I think. I don't see how it could be less than awesome though.

Very good. At first I listened to a sample and they sounded like a Dear Hunter wannabe thing. But they still sounded cool so I checked it out. I thought they could be one of those derivative bands you listen to when the real band doesn't release enough material for you.
They actually aren't really that similar. The influence is there, but it's definitely in a good way.
I like the album more with every listen. It'll probably end up top 10 for me this year. And this is a year with a lot of big name releases scheduled. I'm very much enjoying it.

That sounds like it's right down my alley, I'll have to check it out.
Speaking of TDH, those Color EPs are getting closer to finished every day.

Check them out.
They seem to be down to Earth guys. I posted on their website, and they responded to me within a day.

Lots of us listen to Ulver. I've only heard Shadows of the Sun and Perdition City and they were both great.

I've enjoyed Shadows of The Sun way more than Road To Perdition myself.

Wtf? You've never listened to Ulver?
Perdition City changed my life. It was the first album I used when incorporating the environment into the act of listening to music. The results were fantastic.
Seriously, everything they've done is at least good. Much of it is amazing.
Get Perdition City go go go

No. But I haven't heard it so that's a vacuous statement.
