Haha, I've pretty much played that to a point where I can't listen to it anymore. I do occasionally put "Derek" on, but that's about all I can stand on SJ these days.

I agree with some that there were really only a few tracks I could get into on MPP. Three to be exact. Now, I picked up the "Fall Be Kind" EP, and this one really clicks for me. As far as I'm concerned, this is their best release. It's pretty diverse. No room for fluff on a 5-track EP. Very accessible- which probably means the established fans will find it to be hate-it-or-love-it material.

So, did anyone hear their new EP? If so, what do you all think of it?

I absolutely loved it for one...

could someone send me a link of the new EP? please?

pourmeanother · 12-01-2009, 02:39 PM

Pm

And me if poss?

I own 4 AC albums: MPP, SJ, Sung Tongs and Feels. I think its impossible to choose a favourite from those, they all vary so much that it really depends on context and mood as to which is my top.

That flute in Graze just doesn't work for me at all...too reminiscent of the local Balkan folklore and I do my best to escape from it. Otherwise, very good EP, kind of hypnotic, I mean more than usual, especially I think I can and What would I want, Sky...

I've heard the EP twice. Last track was definitely a standout. They're a fairly consistent band, and I'm enjoying it.

Love it. They're one of the very few bands you need to listen to on very high volume (preferably with a very good subwoofer) to get the full experience. The drums on I think I can confirm this. Immense.

Does anyone else think "What Would I Want? Sky" has the potential to become a hit on the radio? I have a bad feeling...
