IABPOITC

Post by oyster »

IT'S THE BEST BOARDS OF CANADA SONG COLLECTION I'VE EVER HEARD.

I've listened to it about 5 times in a row just now. :shock:

It flows PERFECTLY from each song, ending with Zoetrope is perfect!

Kid For Today is so great.

The title track completely does it for me. It does have the ability to bring me right down - it's the aural definition of melancholia / on the edge of sadness. But it's utterly entrancing.

Some people have said (from online reviews that I've read) that Zoetrope doesn't really work alongside the other tracks, but I'd have to disagree. I think it fits perfectly if you listen to the tracks in order, it suits the continuity of mood.

Truthfully, for me, Zoetrope kicks the asses of everything else on that album
Black then White are all I see in my infancy...Red and Yellow then came to me, reachin' out to me, lets me see...

Actually, Twoism is my favourite EP. Pure, distilled BoC in the simplest form :P

Yes Twoism is just bad to the bone. Zoetrope is my least favorite BoC track. I still listen to it though.
