Great album but indeed a bit repetitive and requires patience. My favorite Odd Nosdam album is No More Wig for Ohio, much more upbeat, loaded with fun samples...it's a trip. :thurab:
 
'The Colour Of Spring' is the only Talk Talk LP I don't have, must remedy that. Generally it's the last 2 I go back to most, just special recorRAB. I like the synth pop phase too but revisit it less.
 
I do too - I don't think ISIS has made anything less than good. I think the production on it is really good and, as every single reviewer has noted, the drummer definitely kicked it up a lot - the album has plenty of good songs but, for me, it lacks something. It doesn't move me emotionally as much as the others. Also I liked Panopticon less than Oceanic and Absence of Truth less than Panopticon so I was a bit worried that the next one might be the worst yet - instead I think it may be the best.
 
i don't know actually, these days it's probably Angel Dust but yeah, used to rock that album daily. Chuck Moseley was a card, imagine him doing the vocals on king for a day, patton basically ruined that 80's goon metal thing, you do miss the big cardigans and colourful gym shorts though

right, i've been having a Buzzcocks revival, the initial run of albums from '77-'79; going to have to use that word 'perfect' again, because the enduring myth of them being a singles band is total rubbish. A friend the other day brought up the notion that Buzzcocks were definitely post-punk... because this simplified music press delineation of punk/post-punk doesn't cut it for so many banRAB, these guys included. Pete Shelley's universally-personal pop songwriting may be the other side of the coin to former bandmate Howard Devoto's art school intellectualism with Magazine; but both had moved beyond the basic punk blueprint by 1977. And if you still need convincing, 'Another Music..' bears the traits of the generic 'post-punk' sound, it's a lot more repetitive and brutal than the others, driving and very Krautrock-like with the drumming in places. But still catchy as hell. They were definitely trailblazers, however the corabination of the punk ethos with pop sensibilities was completely mangled (sorry) later on by Californians IMO. I mean like second or third wave, not the Descendents et al =p
what do YOU think?

It's funny actually, my older brother was living Calgary and his girlfriend was living in Vancouver and that same line really got to him. "Earth Day" is still one of my favourite tracks by him. You're welcome for the link as well, I hope you enjoy it, like I said in my PM it's a different album, different from anything he's done.
