well jamie must be upset... but he should know that this album is amazing, and some of his best work, and maybe his best album, imo.

"here's one element that i find oddly lacking, although i'm not sure if it's a good thing:
in every album (except perhaps la foret), there is a moment when the tension builds to a moment of release... the tradition began with "i broke up", was carried over into "sad redux o graph", and "i luv the valley (oh)" obviously had it. it's actually the first thing to attract me to xiu xiu back in the day... but this album is oddly lacking the moment of explosion"
i'd say the end of vulture piano does this a bit

musically, i find the album fascinating as there is just as much dissonance as _knife_play_ or _la_foret_ (their two noisiest albums), yet it doesn't seem so due to the production. it's like greg saunier (whatever god may exist, bless him; he deserves to be sainted) or whoever the fuck really produced this blended _la_foret_ with the poppiness of _fabulous_muscles_... everytime i listen to it (at least 3 or 4 in my car, and as many on my computer), i find new bits to become fascinated with
as for specifics, i'm happy the highly political nature of _la_foret_ has cooled off here; the album is much more personal, and that much more heart-wrenching
the themes of this album strike me as being somehow more disturbed/fucked than all of the other albums combined

ok, that's enough random thoughts for now...what about the electronic part in bishop, ca after the "walla walla hey"s . its not jamie screaming anything but it feels the same for me. i understand the draw of that though. the oh my gods in apistat will forever be one of the strongest emotional explosions for a song ive ever felt. even more so than i broke up. its also the first thing that got me into xiu xiu after being a god speed you black emperor! fanatic for so long. knife play and f# a# are wonderful first cousins in my mind. |
