I'm not gonna read the track-by-track, but the mini review before that is VERY promising...A_Northern_Soul wrote:*spoiler alert*

Re: TH Track-by-track (The Quietus)
my initial impression is that this will become the serious Boards of Canada fan's favourite album, but anybody who came in at The Campfire Headphase will probably be opting out. It's an intense, weird, beguiling and deeply complex record and I can't wait to hear it again.

As if I wasn't impatient before this.

Not going to read any of these reviews. Don't really like ideas being put in my head before I've constructed my own.
EDIT: I have no self control whatsoever. Popped up on my facebook and I couldn't not click it. Glad I did actually, a great article and the new album sounds AMAZING.

Same here. My hand was shaking and fighting my brain, but I managed to pull it away before I could scroll down to the track-by-track review. Althought I left the page open....SO∆PYJUICE wrote:i read up until the track-by-track thing started. great article.A_Northern_Soul wrote:*spoiler alert*

Ok, the page is closed now. And I'll never go back. Never I say!! Well, at least not until I have the album.
And yes, the review prior to the track reviews was a STRONG one...
I read it...I'm sorry brothers I've forsaken you!!!!!!
I literally feel like I'm about to explode, the way the album is described makes it sound like EXACTLY the album I was hoping for.
That being said I'm not reading any more track-by tracks, as I'd like to shape my own thoughts around the album.
I do want to say that I'm not expecting it to "top" the previous albums in any way. In a way, I don't really have a favorite album. They're all my favorite, each for it's own reason. TH will only compliment the others, and stand out on it's own merits. Have to say though, that the aesthetic they're going for with TH is right up my alley.

Didn't read the track reviews, but I second this. Not that it needed seconded, but I agree. We've already heard it, and tbh, it would be a little weak to start the album off with. It's a great teaser score, don't get me wrong, but I feel the album should start off with something else- especially something we haven't heard yet.seanandcandy wrote:i am quietly glad that the Cosecha Transmisiones drone noise wasn't mentioned in the track by track though
