Ambience really is beautiful. I know it’s just the same thing for an hour but idk. I was thrusted into this world and never wanted to leave, can you really blame me?
Still weird sometimes, still boring other times, but overall it’s decent enough. It’s way more pop-focused which is good and bad. It makes those weird lyrics and ideas pop out way more, but it also leads to uninspired production and singing. I’m still not on the ween hype train, I apologize.
I just don’t think this album is for me. I like it enough, but I don’t know. I feel like I get a better version of its ideas in other albums. It has to split up its creative juices in multiple areas, which comprises their overall quality. For example, as an electronic album, its soundscapes are inherently limited by the rock elements. That’s just my opinion though and I still thought it sounded fine. Although Casablanca’s singing was pretty annoying sometimes.
A little less interesting and fleshed out than their other works but that’s expected when this album came out in this point in their career.
A cool blend of some of my favourite genres. Doesn’t do any of them as good as they could have been but the hybrid of them makes this album feel really cool and distinct.
I’ve never been that big of a horror fan but this album is really something special. It feels so lonely, desolate, and yearning for that human connection it knows it cannot reach. Isolation is the scariest thing of all. And this album captures that perfectly.
It’s fine. Not really exceptional but nothing I’m dying to come back to.
As a person who’s not the biggest modest mouse fan, I really enjoyed this album. The lower quality mixing and recording made up for some of the more polished shortcomings they’d face later on. And c’mon Dramamine is a classic.
I think if you love everything about world of echo except for the mind bending atmosphere, this album is for you. It’s more of Arthur and less of him in this weird place you can’t make out. Doesn’t mean it still doesn’t have that charm though.
It honestly could have been a lot worse. I might just be biased towards this type of music but some points certainly stand out to me. Some parts are definitely annoying and ware out their welcome. But I will say, this is a decent enough album to throw on. Good job for not being horrible.
Blah blah blah it’s rage against the machine of course it’s good moving on
This album is so much better than everything else they’ve made. It feels like it knows what it wants to do and pulls it off near perfectly.
Listening to this at 6am is a vibe and a half. It feels so grandiose in its humble sound. That contrast is so fascinating to me and it sounds great all the way through.
