Nothing is Real

Word. I still remember my anxiety when the countdown on the stream simply disappeared and there was no audio for several seconds, and I was afraid that the connection got screwed up. Then I heard that ident, and I braced myself: at that exact moment, I knew I was in for a ride. I wasn't wrong.

All the songs are mixed in a blur in my head. The album was so consistently brilliant that I'm unable to pick out best ones.

It's harder to pick the ones that didn't stand out to me. Buttttt...probably Palace Posy for the same reason Geogeddi mentioned. Also it reminded me a lot of old tunes yet went off in a direction I completely didn't expect.

Cold Earth and Gemini are up there too. Gemini is so beautiful, that's one I'm most looking forward to hearing on vinyl.

Palace Posy too.

Sundown for beat-less track, Cold Earth for a track with a beat.

Cold Earth - so dense and heavy in texture and beats. But, still thinking Reach The Dead is a standout. wish BoC made an extended version (of many of the tracks actually!).

where's the new seeds love?

Nothing is Real.

Palace Posy really stands out in my mind...

Having listened to Reach for the Dead over and over again the past week or two, I'm amazed at how much deeper it's become in the context of the whole album.

And I really love Telepath, too.

dude someone send me the album pleaseeeeeeee

Gemini,
White Cyclosa,
Jacquard Causeway,
Telepath,
Split Your Infities,
New Seeds,
Nothing is Real,
Sundown,
and Come to Dust.

New Seeds/Nothing is Real can't decide

on another day though, either Uritual or the last track (can't type out the name)

all very hard hitting for me in particular

Sick times for me

One of the few really strong tracks on the album that doesn't try to be epic

New Seeds. Repetitive with a gradual build and slow tail off. What more do you need at 5 in the morning!

definitely the most understated song on here. Very solid track. It didn't stand out for me as much as others but I can see it becoming a favorite. The mood of it reminds me of trans canada a lot.

Cold Earth is such a tight song...it's my immediate favorite. Jacquard Causeway is a pretty close second, though, and I have a feeling it might become my favorite with more listens...there's sooo many layers to sift through on that track.

Tough decision, but Nothing is Real is really working with me.

This one'll be on repeat the whole summer. I mean, obviously the whole album will. But I'm definitely going to overlisten to Nothing is Real

Nothing is Real for me too, I've had it on near-loop this morning.

Interestingly it seems to be a stand-out for others in this thread too.
