it sounds like budget massive attack w/o vocals

Reminds me of Burial, in a good way!

That is...not the right thread. Not at all.

I do like this a hell of a lot, though

hook/neck dialectic
This is garbage. Lifeless, bloodless, sterile, boring fucking garbage.

I couldn't get into this at all, it was so ponderous and portentious, like late 90s instrumental trip-hop monging music.

I listened to it on a long haul flight after 15 mils of valium and it really hit the spot.

Ensemble Economique has got a similar sort of thing going on

Hmmm not much FS discussion on ILM. I think Compassion is his best yet, sounds like he finally has the tools and experience to acheive his vision. There are some hooks this time as well.

It's a really good Forest Swords album, but so far hasn't stuck with me like his previous work. Definitely sounds lush though.

kinda hated his earlier work, but listened to this one quite a few times, so i guess... progress :-)

I know this is daft but my enjoyment of the new album has been affected by reviews I've read. I've enjoyed the earlier stuff (Dagger Paths more than Engravings) and I read a couple of reviews from sources that I trust that said the new one was awesome. I gave it a few listens and thought it was OK but not that great. I persevered because obviously sometimes it takes a while to appreciate an album
I then read another review that said the album was actually pretty average. Now when I listen to it I'm thinking 'do I want to like this album more than I actually do because of good reviews that I've read, or am I not liking it as much as I would if I hadn't read that other review?' Like I said, I realise this is silly and I should just take the music as it is and not be affected by what I've read about it but I also know it's not really possible to listen to music in isolation (so to speak)
I think the moral of this is that I need to spend less time reading music journalism. Or something
