All their albums are different, so you're in for a massive treat exploring each one.

Yeah they sound like a really good band. To be honest I have known about them for about a year or more but have never bothered my arse to listen to them. I remember scoffing when I first saw the album cover of the guy driving a car with a red bag over his head lol. I thought they were just one of them bands I would never get round to checking out, like Boards Of Canada.

EDIT: Jesus christ man, these guys are awesome. On track 3 of 'Frances The Mute' it goes from some kind of Latin singing to guitar shredding (& then back again!).
It appears Ive been depriving myself of some great music for some time now.

I dunno, I'd say their post-Frances output is kinda samey. The only very noticeable stylistic leap they had was between De-loused and Frances.

What the hell have you been smoking?

FaSho 06-04-2009 05:43 PM

I think Bedlam to Octahedron is a major change.

Comus 06-04-2009 05:43 PM

Yeah, almost as big as Amp to Bedlam.

FaSho 06-04-2009 05:49 PM

Bedlam was pretty spazz to me, and the only song that would come close to it on Oct is Cotopaxi, and even that is a stretch. It's by no means a bad album, just not exactly what I was excpecting. I would put De-Loused as better than it personally.

Since when is that a bad thing?

I second that. One of the reasons I love De-Loused so much.
