If by ripping themselves off you mean refining and honing their sound until it's even more fucking awesome than it already was, I hope they rip themselves off some more.

Yeah, I think it's shit. It's the cover of MHTRTC plus some extra mid '90s techo-shit added on top. So, I predict the new album will sound exactly like MHTR with added digital glitchery.

There was a bit more to the Chemicals/BoC artwork similarities than just the orange!
I have come to really like the new Chemicals album!

Awesome color scheme, though. I like the sort-of rotten, aged, almost sepia look.

Seriously, how could anyone find any similarities between two green-tinged pictures of out-of-focus human figures standing in front of an indistinct nature scene?

i mean, it's obviously a BOC cover, but it doesnt seem like a copy of Music has the Right. on my screen it seems a lot more blue. in any case, i just get a different feel. nothing worth arguing about of course.

I know I felt slightly underwhelmed by Kid For Today first time I heard it - it's kind of repetitive compared to stuff on MHTRTC, but it's a really nice sustained wintry vibe and, as it's BoC, there are lots of subtle little details floating in and out the mix
― frame casual (dog latin), Thursday, 13 December 2018 09:04 (five years ago) link
Is this the apex of BoC fan art? Taking a 5 note, 2 sec snippet of flash audio from their old website and making a whole tribute style track from it.

Campfire Headphase gave us Dayvan Cowboy, which is their best album track imho. They hit higher peaks on their EPs, however.
― octobeard, Thursday, 13 December 2018 16:35 (five years ago) link
Yeah, Dayvan is all-time. I think BoC is overall better at individual tracks than at entire albums.

Satellite Anthem Icarus tho

ignoring the intro, that run of four tracks is their pinnacle imo

and it isn't especially close. like, chromakey dreamcoat's last minute, all of peacock tail I mean
― imago, Friday, 14 December 2018 18:04 (five years ago) link
the intro is dope! that was the first sound of BOC i ever heard- my fondness for this album probably comes down to that. i didn't have any expectations or concerns about them using acoustic guitars
― flappy bird, Friday, 14 December 2018 18:05 (five years ago) link
there's a lot of electro-rockism in this album's lower status tbh

― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 14 December 2018 20:39 (five years ago) link
I tried this again last night. Still nothing. :-(I can't hear any melodies. And it's too clean. Generic. No mystery deep time moments. I like how their stuff up to and including MHTRTC had a layer of moss on it. This is just my problem, though. I barely listened to anything these days that doesn't sound foggy and covered in moss or rust.
― brimstead, Friday, 14 December 2018 20:53 (five years ago) link
Shame. What it lacks in occult dread, it makes up with pastoral epiphanies. This is the perfect music I’d listen to in a beautiful place out in the country
