188666, 4 me, the last 3 albums all sound like a single blur of melancholy drone. Posted by Jon, Sat Aug-28-10 11:13 AM
(GT, RD, HIGO)
only speaking for myself.
i know it's not that simple, and i know there's not really just one mood or whatever, but all in all, for me it's all been feeling rather monotonous, colorless, cloudy, depressing, awash in the least appealing aspects of indie rock (to me).
the musicianship is still great, black thought is still sharp (though a lot more predictable), and i'm willing to just chalk it up to their artistic vision simply deviating further from my own personal palette.
there have definitely been some stand out tracks that i like:
GT: Dilla intro title track don't feel right baby here i come clock with no hands
RD: title track get busy the show
HIGO: the intro the interludes
( the last album i sincerely LOVED was Phren, my #1 favorite is TFA, and with Come Alive in the middle, they form voltron. )
