--- Quote from: sean on 14 Jan 2010, 11:02 ---okay so im pretty much done with my first listen now. man, this record rules so much. this album has lost the bluesyness of 13 moons... but the band still has all the fiery energy from that record, especially in metal bird.
--- End quote ---
the first half of metal bird on this is heavy as fuck and it's awesome.
agree that it doesn't end on as high a note as last album. piphany rambler is not a bad song but should have been in the middle, not at the end. they really front-loaded this album with amazingness. hell i think they could have just put there is a light at the end instead of the beginning and the album as a whole would improve.
it's still a 9/10 for me.
pitchfork will give it a 7.2
Koremora:
Pitchfork:
1. Do some people call it post-rock?
2. Yes.
3. Give it a random score from 5.0 - 7.2.
4. Write 2 paragraph review in which you talk about something totally irrelevant (THE DECLINE OF THE POST-ROCK SCENE) for the first paragraph and come up with a completely ridiculous suggestion for improvement (THIS PELICAN ALBUM NEEDS VOCALS) for the second.
5. ???
6. Profit.
KvP:
Srsly though I'll be damned if 95% of post-rock sounds kinda formulaic.
Don't know if I'd put Silver Mt. Zion in that 95%, but whatever.

there's only so many times you can swirl majestically to the same epic, closing crescendo
