Re: The general Inferno review, magazine, podcast etc. topic

I wouldn't care if it was a 6 and the review included insight, well reasoned argument, or even just a fucking entertaining script. but the man is one of the most prominent critics of our time. Lazy shit. He listened toit twice, if that.

Re: LP5 - Inferno

So this album clearly has oodles of detail, including what sounds like other songs practically built into and complimenting the rest of the song they're in the mix of

What if BOC like...hid some snippets of songs from their pre-Twoism albums in the mix of Inferno? Can you imagine all of us ...

Re: Inferno - Written & Produced by Mike Sandison

I find it curious that they've actually changed the credits publicly now. They must know this is going to come up in any interviews they choose to do (unless it's made clear it's off the table prior).
None of my business at all, but I've always suspected they have a private income. They once said ...

Re: GENERAL NEW RELEASE SPECULATION TOPIC PART III

I'm not sure why we're postulating on the brothers' relationships, I saw this in another recent post from another poster in the Inferno thread too, specifically disputing the implications of the writing credits. Why do we care or have to assume something is going on? It's very uninteresting, and ...

Re: LP5 - Inferno

Someone on another forum said that they looked at the publishing credits on PRS and that Mike has 100% of the rights on roughly half the tracks and Marcus has 10% on the rest. Can anyone confirm that? They should have done a double album where they got their own LP each to play with! All but ...

Re: 05. Father And Son

I will go to rhetorical war for this song , I am very surprised it is getting one of the more polarised reactions elsewhere. It's got that joyful and even funny energy of some of the best tracks from Old Tunes and MHTRTC.

Re: LP5 - Inferno

Alright, I’m gonna stand up and say it. This is there best album. This is the one I’ve been waiting for since I first heard them in 1998. It’s the album I always wanted them to make but, thought they never would.

I’ve always wanted them to lean hard in to the trippy hypnotic stuff. There’s ...

Re: Guardian review of Inferno (blood pressure warning!)

It is ignorant ragebait. It isnt even a matter of taste, the reviewer is objectively wrong about a bunch of stuff. I urge anyone else not to give it the clicks. The FT review on the other hand that gives it 2/5 is reasonably written even if I likely will not agree with the score.

Re: Inferno Artsyle Discussion

I love the cover the more I look it. When I look at the bright burnt orange for a while the whole cover starts shimmering for me, as if it is going to bleed through the logo. I think it is clever and the fan edits that totally miss the point baffle me.

That photo of the girl that looks like a ...

Re: How come this feels like a goodbye?

Maybe I am huffing a lot of copium but after 13 years of on and off work, perhaps even these two perfectionists might have recorded more stuff that they deem worthy of a release, and we get another companion EP? Perhaps this Inferno will be a prologue to the band's traditional themes and they will ...

Re: LP5 - Inferno

Am I dumb for only going for the CD? Am I stupid? For not going vinyl?

I always buy CD, I just like CD.

Also I hope the Small size t-shirts fit.

I simply had to get the vinyl after knowing there was a special coloured edition and the exclusive booklet, but I don't blame anyone in this economy ...
