Hello all, i
sure hope everyone has had the chance to listen to the new
recording(i dont want to spoil anyones expectations), but i just wanted to write that this record is amazing, one of the few albums that goes beyond my expectations. There are very few recordings that i have been able to call blessings in my life(in the true sense of the word, not is some over-sentimental idea of the word). It is a blessing because not only has it been a catalyst of examination(which is why i listened to over the rhine in the first place), but because it has been a motivator to do things and not just think about them. Hence this post. I didnt even pre-order the album because i didnt know if i would like it a much as their other albums(im the kind of guy that wants to hear "conjectures of a guilty bystander" on every album). Needles to say the veil of my expectations were torn in two(literally 2 discs) and my judgments were turned into a love of (what i call a new sound). To me the songs are very sparce, and i dont mean this judgementally at all, there are enough instruments and plenty of production, but there is still some open space left that i personally have never heard on a rhine album before(not even "good dog, bad dog".) Anyway ill stop typing and just say that i have had a great time exploring these songs. P.S. Conjectures is nowhere to be found on this album. my favs so far; bothered, Jesus in New Orleans,b.p.d.(bi-polar disorder?),long lost brother, and cruel and pretty. |
