Makes perfect sense.to me. Don't see anything 'dumb' about it? What's on your mind Echo the Sun. I'm interested.

The last sentence seems like the thoughts of a teenager.

I'm not trying to be mean here, just pointing out the irony that you're named after a Boards song that no one has ever heard, purportedly produced when they were in fact teenagers...

Carry on. :)

Did you pull something with that stretch? I like the title of the song: simple as that. I also chose my username 10 years ago. I was a teenager back then myself. Yes, the song had never been released, but at that point I was really hoping that some friend of theirs would one day upload their really old stuff because all the titles always really intrigued me. And you know as well as I that BOC are awesome song titlers: they almost always paint a good picture of their songs with their titles.

I still think this is their weakest album by far. It's like they barely had enough ideas to scrape an album together. The concept and overall vibe of the album deserved better tracks. TCH had better tracks, period.

Depends on your taste. I found TCH way too accessible and dare I say it, 'cheesy'. TH just felt more forward thinking, original, deep.

Geogaddi is my favorite BoC album. The Campfire Headphase is just a more developed album than Tomorrow's Harvest. Scouring the earth for one synth that you can hear for 3 seconds on the album doesn't make it any more interesting or disguise the lack of passion or creativity. Their fans have been outdoing them for years, but they wouldn't know because they don't like the internet, right? It shows

I also enjoy Geogaddi and TCH, I think they are great albums. but you can't deny the great things behind Tomorrow's Harvest.honestly you just sound bitter.

btw, are you reffering to that sample sound on Cold Earth? it always sounded to me as simple guitar string and not some top secret synth...

can't believe everything what people saying on the internet.

And mentioning one tiny detail about the album doesn't accurately portray it in it's entirety. I get it, you like more obvious chord structures and the feel good tunes that you can kick back and feel all nice to. I personally love how TH split the crowd, it shows they are not pandering to populist opinion and still making music for themselves. It's funny here in Scotland I barely know anyone that is into BOC and rates TCH that highly, but the yanks go wild for it.

Tomorrow's Harvest was definitely their least immediate album for me. It took me a while to fully grasp everything. But it's got creativity and passion in spades. And you won't find it in some overtly catchy lead or loop. It's in the details and the interplay of elements. The mixing on the thing is stunning. The palindromic structure (that they astoundingly committed to) is inspired. The thing showcases their mastery of mood exquisitely. It's definitely just as "developed" as TCH, if not more so.

Also, I utterly disagree with your comment about "their fans outdoing them for years." BOC do what they do the best. I will readily admit when someone outdoes them, but no one has come even close yet. And they are still, in my opinion, hands down the best electronic musicians the world has ever known. That sounds so overblown, but I really believe it.

I agree with all of this.
