And, I wish I'd heard it before all the accolades in here, because I'm not entirely sure whether it's that it wasn't that impressive or I was nitpicking overly much because I expected something better. Anyway, I thought it was pleasant, but generally unexceptional. The lyrics, vocals (not the general timbre + sound, but rather the unimaginative melodies and cheap repeats) and occasionally predictable nature of the music were the negatives. The positives, well, some of the songs seemed well-constructed, and The Wanting Comes In Waves stood out a bit. As it stands, 'twould get a two or a three, but obviously, more listens are needed, and it was good enough for me not to write it off completely. I liked what I've heard of The Crane Wife much more. |

 (and best band ever) The number of times I've listened to their four central albums is beyond counting and I still find new elements of them. Make sure to check out the later stuff, though some of it takes a little patience to appreciate (well, all their albums did for me, but particularly The Quiet Zone and Vital took a few listens for me to get) and at least Hammill's earlier solo albums (In Camera, Chameleon and The Silent Corner [and Nadir's Big Chance and Over, to a lesser extent] are the most obvious and VDGG-based ones) sooner or later. Killer stuff. |

Like how Colors is a perfect album and one of the best and most innovative things in metal/music ever? Edited by birdwithteeth11 - July 27 2009 at 23:05 |

You don't like  (Colors does NOT have any 'core' genres in it. Anyone who thinks so needs to go introduce their head to a nail gun. )And hopefully HoL grows on you a bit more, Rob. Although if you already like Crane Wife, I can forgive that.  Edited by birdwithteeth11 - July 27 2009 at 23:16 |

Yeah, but you're biased. And don't like metal as much. My opinion is more objective because I have a lot of people that would agree with me. |

I like quite a bit of metal. It's just not my favorite sub-genre.
I like pretty much every sub-genre now though. |

The new Dear Hunter is SO good. I need to hear their first two badly.

As I said to Alex, this album is what I'd imagine life is like to an insane person on crystal meth.

I wouldn't expect a lowlife neo-porg fan to understand. |
