Yeah, it took me a while for Bedlam to fully grow on me. Once it did, it was awesome.

Same here. I didn't really understand it or like it for a few listens at least.

Anyway, I'm digging "Ilyena" for the first time tonight.

YES!
That is a personal favorite of mine, may be my 2nd favorite TMV track.
|
Holy crap. Why have I not paid more attention to this one? The melody is amazing.
|
That song is SO tight.
"I NEEEEED A BRAAAAND NEW SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!"
*air drums to it*
You inspired me to put Bedlam in just for that song.
|
I'm listening to the rest of the album just because of that song. I'm not as impressed so far, though (I actually didn't care as much for "Goliath" as I thought I would after reading some reviews), but I'm willing to hear everything again. If anything, "Ilyena" made the album worth buying.
|
How many times have you heard it? I remember exactly what I thought of certain songs and the album as a whole after so many listens. I didn't start to "get" some songs until about 5-8 listens of the entire album. About that 7th or 8th listen though is when I really started to love each track and my appreciation for Bedlam has grown exponentially since then. It's easily one of my favorite albums ever.
| Admittedly, none. I've found this album so unpalatable previously, that I could not listen to it in total. I had to just take one or two tracks at a time. But right now I'm listening to it all.
I still find much of it noisy (too many effects), and so forth, but I'm enjoying it more than I have previously.

Ehh, I'm half here, and half trying to get on with other things. I might be off soonish, get out for a jog and do some collab work.

That's funny you say it's too noisy, since that's my only critique of any TMV album (that album being Frances) where I think they overdid it at parts. I still love it though. Definitely give it more listens; you might be surprised.

Well, one of my biggest complaints with "Cavalettas" is a complaint I've had with many progressive rock songs: Putting several shorter songs together and calling it a longer piece. Still, I like what I've heard in the song.

I can see what you mean. That one took me a while to dissect.

Okay, seriously, "Agadez" sounds like The Mars Volta trying to cover something by Christina Aguilera. It's a pop-sounding vocal over their loud ass band. Again, not bad, but not great.

I don't know what to make of "Askepios."
Parts of it I like, parts I don't. Parts I really don't.

You're crazy.
| Hey man, this is all coming from someone who didn't like The Mars Volta the first twenty-two times he heard them, but bought the albums anyway, and is totally into them now.
