It's better than the last one but currently lagging behind Bong's new album in the Yoga metal stakes.

I'm writing about it for my website and the dude from Pelican emailed it to me.

have to admit that for me it's starting to feel like they're ploughing the same furrow, not necessarily any deeper this time

so their theme... needs more variations?
― lebron traveled (am0n), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 22:33 (1 year ago) Permalink
No, I think variation has proved a partial downfall.
Between Pilgrimage and God Is Good they changed drummers and had a stylistic overhaul. Emil Amos could hardly be more different to Chris Hakius and the switch between an implicit spirituality and an explicit new age direction hasn't really worked. The new album is slightly better but they're still miles away from making anything as good as Pilgrimage or the Conference Of Birds again.

id say i'm hoping for something decent, but unless hakius rejoin the band they're never reaching those heights again

i hear you on the difference between hakius and amos - the distinction between implicit and explicit spirituality is a good way to put it

i think i will save the money on the CD and maybe buy a paperback book about byzantine art to look at while i listen to the last four albums

maybe if amos grows a sick beard it'll help

i like chris' drumming way better. watching recent live videos of them seems like emil overdoes it with the crash cymbals

disappointing on first impression, wish the drums would hit harder

the production makes it sound like an om cover band or something >:O
― am0n, Wednesday, 20 June 2012 22:02 (11 months ago) Permalink
I kind of expected them to change the production style (how much can you really change the musical side without it not being Om?), but it's a little too clean for my taste.

Dude's foot is so heavy they need a flatbed truck to get him to gigs.

I wish these guys could've played with Alice Coltrane. I'm going to sit here and imagine them playing something along the lines of "Om Namah Sivaya" if that's cool with everybody.

I would like to see/hear them play with Daniel Higgs. I mean, together. At the same time.
