there's a lot of electro-rockism in this album's lower status tbh

Obviously. Guitars! They’ve sold out to become Beth Orton’s backing band!

I'm happy to be ILX's designated "I like BoC when they put the guitars in" opinionaut

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.

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

Satellite Anthem Icarus is like a masterclass in counterpoint & arrangement

Tomorrow’s Harvest OTOH I’ve never gotten close to get into

Felt like a conscious 180 degree turn after all the criticism they got for Campfire

yeah I like Tomorrow's Harvest for what it is: a sustained moodpiece or soundtrack

If there was a film to go with it, itd make much more sense.

I'm listening to the opening run of TCH now and yeah this is just stellar stuff
