TheMaker Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I'm right there with ya. I'm honestly surprised by how much I dig this rekkid. I didn't even listen to it all the way through right away, but the only song that didn't do it for me was Weird Fishes/Arpeggi. And Videotape also puts me in mind of SBS, only it's pretty much the reverse of On and On and On - it's a repetitive, emotive piano song, but it's actually lost something from the live versions, rather than the reverse...

solace Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is great, but would be better separated out imo, it seems long, yet it's not. edit: good lord All I Need is certainly 100% w/o a doubt my favorite song after 1.5 listens, no question i'm a total sucker for xylophone...

titchyman Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 onto my second listen and i'm really impressed. 'all i need', 'reckoner' and 'jigsaw falling into place' are the stands outs for me so far. but its such a great record as a whole, its hard to pick favourites. can't wait for the discbox!!!!

OOO Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 "All I Need" is badass...may be my fave. I need many more listens to be sure...but im going to sleep. Faust Arp sounds like "Dear Prudence" with Sufjan Stevens strings in the background Quote Link to post Share on other sites

titchyman Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 where did you get this? or did you make it yourself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 where did you get this? or did you make it yourself?it's going around some forums there was a small photo of when you order the boxset, not sure if someone dug around to find a larger one or whatnot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
titchyman Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 it's going around some forums there was a small photo of when you order the boxset, not sure if someone dug around to find a larger one or whatnot its different to the one on that picture, thats why i asked if you made it yourself. i'm keen to get a picture of the cover for my ipod, but being a picky graphic designer i think i'll wait. might use one of the rainbow images of the official site.

solace Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 looks pretty much similiar to me, even if it's not: i have a feeling the actual artwork will be diff anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
insideoutoflove Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 starting my second 'spin'...man oh man am i blown away. fer serious. so much for sleep.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 dunno if i'm blown away (certainly doesn't connect with me like a few other album this year have (Bon Iver, Boxer, etc.), but i'm WAY more than satisfied with it and it certainly exceeded any expectations (granted pretty much none, as there wasn't much time to build up any) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
titchyman Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 here is what i'll be using for album art until something better comes along. just taken straight from inrainbows.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jospe Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 This is a very weak record. Very. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 i still haven't been sent an activation code. that's what you get for paying 46p for the album, i guess edit: got it now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I agree with you guys. I am not BLOWN AWAY in any way, but I was really afraid that this was going to be the biggest musical failure in like recent memory. Good job dodging that Radiohead! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
