I’m unhealthily obsessed with this one. The first half is so 80s anime cyberpunk sounding, with the electonic bits and folky taiko ish drums (sorry I don’t know how to describe that kind of drum), like something from Akira or Ghost In The Shell, or the Foresaken N64 game. It reminds me if something ...

I would really like to dive deeper into what the title of this track means in relation to the rest of the album that follows, and of course how the vocal sample (a lecture) could be interpreted as a prophecy. And why is it “at” and not “from”?

A spiritual person struggling with religious choices is involved in a car crash, slips into some kind of coma, journeys through an inferno in their mind, returns to childhood memories, dies at the end? There are a lot of hints in both the music and the artwork… but then of course some things that ...

Amazing. I have read some interviews, but not those ones. I did not know they had laid out their methodology so clearly. Assuming now, in 2026 it has developed but still comes from the same roots. So “Inferno” likely is just a criticism if religion (look how all of this is making the world burn) and ...

I keep swinging between a few ideas:

1. Much like the GTA series, and other artists from the Skam era, BOC are just constantly taking the piss. They are trolling. Having a laugh. If you’re Scottish, it’s all ironic, it’s all about the banter. It’s Aphex Twin living in a bunker and driving a tank ...

Thanks for explanations, I understand a bit better now although it is still hard to wrap my head around some of it!

It’s one of my favourite tracks on the album, and I live the aesthetic, surface level sound of when the prayer comes in, the tone of the voice and everything. But then I listen to the ...

I am not Christian. Can someone explain all the mumbo jumbo to me? What is he on about “you bore my sin” “you shed your blood for me to cleanse me” “i receive you and your shed blood”? How does Jesus dying on the cross 2000 years ago cleanse this preacher with his blood now in 2026 (or whenever the ...

If “Inferno” had leaked, which tracks would you say “that’s 100% BOC” and which tracks would you say “that’s a fake!”?

It is on the same record side, and the title references hell/purgatory. But the religious sample makes it feel like it should have been on Side One. Doesn’t it feel like Introit > Prophecy > Capricorn > F&S > Naranka (& You retreat / I saw Through) were supposed to be a 6 or 7 track EP? Like IABPITC?

I really want to believe but the songs just sound so flat, simplistic, and not really evolving or going anywhere, like an amateur.

I didn’t even realise it was hated until going through the threads here in April.

I’ve been a Boards fan since the early days in the 90s, since Hi Scores, and for me TH is just the absolute best thing they’ve made and it’s not even close. I think it’s not just their best album but one of the ...

I’ve become really obsessed with this sequence that closes (fills) most of Side 2 of the vinyl/Side 1 of the cassette. I think I’ve played it more than 20 times in the last few days. The three songs seem really designed to be linked together, the first two more like interludes, it’s kind of strange ...

The more I relisten to this, the more I am convinced the religious samples in these first few tracks, and especially this one, are some kind of epic piss take. They took the most classic sounding “boc track” on the album, then threw in some “hare krishna” samples, saying “i bet these guys will lap ...

So what is the meaning of the actual prophecy? Just cool old tunes style vocal sampling that sounds cool but has no deeper meaning (a la Neon Genesis Evangelion riffing on Christianity because it was exotic to a Japanese audience and had no deep meaning), or did Mike specifically sequence the words ...

The title of this track is really intriguing, especially when juxtaposed with the religous chants and prayers and the father trying to get his son out of a cult. And then next to HHLL and Deep Time. I wish I knew what it all meant!

The title would suggest our memory dies (all memories), or is it just one particular specific memory that has died?

When I first heard it, I thought they may have sampled it because Scottish people find the stoopid hillbilly type accent of the son kind of amusing, in an Old Tunes style. Now, knowing the source, and the father trying to get his son out of the cult, and the som brainwashed into thinking his family ...

Now we’ve all had a week to listen to the album (only a week?!!!! Feels like I’ve known these songs for months already!), how does the album cover with the kids (trick or treating?) in the leaves connect to the music for you?

I know someone suggested there are 3 parts of 6 songs, but listening to the vinyl, and the cassette, the album seems very clearly in two parts. Perhaps even two EPs stuck together (or 4 EPs)? The first disk, first side of the vinyl has most of the religious vocal samples, and works as kind of a five ...
