Albums You're Digging II

I just felt that it was unimaginative, generic and easily forgettable. And the vocals were terrible. So terrible that i couldn't see beyond them at times.

As i said, i didnt finish the album so i'm in no position to pass judgement really. If i tried again it might grow on me. So its just a first impression but it isn't a good one at all.
 
I can't criticize the particulars because I don't like the style in general.
Pop-punk and such doesn't agree with me. I only piped up because of my interest in Daughters. The breakup of Daughters is how heard of Fang island in the first place so I'm in no place to criticize, but I dislike FI so much compared to any Daughters releases that the band is interesting to me.

Really passionate, beautiful stuff, really loving this. They seamlessly switch between calm and delicate and hard and emotional, great lyrics too.

I've always liked the band, but i saw them live a few nights ago and they really just blew me away - that reminded me of how incredibly great this album is!
it's sort of dark, but never depressing and the vocal is really interesting and different.
 
Heaven or Las Vegas is tied with Treasure in my book. Blue Bell Knoll comes in after that. I'd say those are their 3 required listens...if I had to throw one more in the book it would be Victorialand.

Violent Silence - S/T (2003)

One of the most unusual and high-driven albums I've had the pleasure of enjoying in quite awhile...and not a guitar in sight!

Basically, this album blenRAB knotty 80's King Crimson-esque progressive rock with more contemporary/alternative vocals and production...along with the occasional post-punk touch led by bass, drums and some keyboarRAB at the forefront of the mix. Interesting vocals add a neat element to the proceedings also, and overall I'm quite pleased by the stark originality this debut presents.
