good stuff
got some really good songs
but I've got problem with Bending Hectic
it's one of those really good songs
but the way it sounds when it gets to that climax, drop
I don't like it
drums hidden somewhere in reverb, bass as well just disappears in stereo
I just don't feel it
I'm sure it sounds heavenly when they perform it live
favs: Wall of Eyes; Friend of a Friend; Bending Hectic; You Know Me!
weakest: I Quit (cool effect though)
fun, hyperactive, sugary noise-rock
at times really impressive and good
but cannot deny the fact that almost every track sounds the same
just had a relisten session in nature
magnificent band, truly life-inspiring music
this album rocks!!!
favs - first 3 tracks, anesthesia, seek&destroy, metal militia
if it sounded better
it would be perfect without a doubt
but still this is my personal fav album from them
this is where lars and kirk peaked
finally got a good reason to relisten this album (recent psychical format reissues)
very dark and depressing work with themes being about death and what goes after it
what surprises me even more is that going up is actually their last song performed live
which also was performed for the first time (and unfortunately the last)
also must notice the sound of a broken bottle at the end of going up
considering how Balance died as well as the fact that he was an alcoholic
and they didn't even manage ... read more
I liked the cover and decided to listen...
impressive performance and very beautiful compositions
but that all doesn't matter when production fundamentally sucks
why does it have to sound so buried?
near to the end I got used to it...
this is really epic and I really enjoyed this
- points for sound ofc
undoubtedly better than thriller
where thriller has only a noticeable best in the world 3-track run
this album has banger after banger after banger
truly an classic maybe even an underrated one unfortunately
lyrics of an angsty inner teenager but with the heaviest sound ever
Album that probably changed my life and inspired me musically so much in the past and opened the gates for me of heavier music and still I can't name that many albums that are heavier than this
Comparing this with any black or death metal release
man... most of them sound like teenager being tickled or dog whining
Of course there are exceptions
and this one as well is an exception
Not quite nu metal, not quite death metal or ... read more
С каждым разом всё лучше и лучше
У альбома очень уникальный вайб и звук (и вокал тоже)
что можно примерно понять уже по обложке и названию альбома
Чувство игривости и радости, что то похожее есть у Хот Ратс Заппы
только здесь больше авант-арт попсовости и дудок
Каждая песня ... read more
18 tracks is too much for such genre
Would have been lower but there are plenty of good beats
This will be my favorite 2023 winter album I can already say that with confidence
Listening to this feels like being very far away from home
Basically (almost) vapor with tha rapping
I'll tell you what folks this is bloody nice
There's more singing from what I remember in comparison with previous projects
And a lot of flawless transitions between tracks
Lot of lovely tracks like let's have a ball or what u say u are
Or zap! with that confusing sample chop that somehow works
Or u think maybe? with that really smooth saxophone solo playing at the end
Really nice 50 minute album with a lot of things going on
It's time to finally say it - I really do enjoy listening to this record. There's no shame in that. It's fun as hell and I like fun music. it's just a thought in my head that this is like the peak of genre. Most grooviest, most funkiest. Very accessible record in comparison with Sextant or with what Miles Davis did at the time. 4 banger tracks, no weak ones. All beautifully performed.
Still stands as my favorite album of 2023. So good that I borrowed CD. This is what really avant garde sounds like. Whole another sound and vision. Though liturgy has been around for while, this is first album I've listened from them. Many people don't like that album lasts so long. IDK but me... I was sucked into this in a trance-like state of mind and kept my interest till the last track
