Was 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons your first  A Silver Mt. Zion album? I have a feeling that it is seeing as how you described how the vocals were.

What did you though of Johnnytwentythree?  The album was a slow grower, but thankfully  the song The Fall Of Swords kept me interested in them and made me a fan of their sound.

It's not that Yndi Halda was a GY!BE rip off, it was the fact that the music was too straght forward and positive to do four 15+ minuete songs.

Godspeed = strings + depression

Good point, I can see why you might hear a lot more Godspeed references from Antennas to heaven, and when added some EITS, you have your band. Still Yndi halda isnt bad, probably a three star album, if I ever come around to listen to it again.

All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone is a solid release, I definitely recommend it. It's certainly better than Enjoy Eternal Bliss imo. 
Musically, it's certainly on par with The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place.

i liked How Strange, Innocence and  those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever. Both are very good tho again, not as good as The earth is not a cold dead place. EITS start to get a little monotonous if you go album jumping, but those three are the only ones I have.

Good to hear from you, but I personally like YH even MORE THAN GYBE NOW Wow, I really said that! I mean, they're less dramatic but more melodic, no samples, no avant/noise-leanings, pure melodies So for now it goes like

YNDI HALDA > GYBE > JOHNNYTWENTYTHREE


J23 is quite enjoyable as well, pretty ambient at times. I hope cham will increase their rating to well-deserved 4 stars so that I could post my 4-stars review too


Speaking of new ASMZ, I like it a lot ("garage folk", this is it ), especially "we go too slow" part in "Black Waters Boiled" and the whole "One Million" epic. Eponymous track is the less captivating dare I say . "BlindBlindBlind" is a bit too long, but good. 3,5 stars for now

Great band - 2006 release Seawards is pretty good.

Great band - 2006 release Seawards is pretty good. Is their single from that release or was that a promo song? id like to check them out, they were really interesting.

The song isn't from the album. In fact, the album has that same song in 30 minute length, BUT it's been worked over so much that it sounds nothing like the single.
