April 13, 200916 yr I haven't made my mind up about it :o (Although it made my chart already lol). But i like Wraithlike much! :D
April 13, 200916 yr Their last 2 albums were the best they have produced, unfortunately I'm not dead keen on their new single, finding it hard to get into it, I'm dreading the new album, I don't think it will match their previous albums.
April 18, 200916 yr Well, listened to it. Definitely their 2nd best album (at least) with Our Earthly Pleasures at the first place :heart:
April 18, 200916 yr Haven't listened to it all the way through, but I love 'Calm' and 'A Cloud of Mystery' :wub:
April 18, 200916 yr Well, listened to it. Definitely their 2nd best album (at least) with Our Earthly Pleasures at the first place :heart: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Even the worst songs on the debut are about as good as the best ones one 'Our Earthly Pleasures'. It really is a terrible album.
April 18, 200916 yr Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Even the worst songs on the debut are about as good as the best ones one 'Our Earthly Pleasures'. It really is a terrible album. Agreed. Not particularly racing to download thisss. But I shall in a bit.
April 19, 200916 yr Really liking this. It's nothing really innovative / special but then again I never thought they would change their sound much. Edited April 19, 200916 yr by Jonny
April 20, 200916 yr Quite the disappointment.... I wasn't expecting something BRILLIANT, but something better than this most definitely.
April 20, 200916 yr Author Meh. A good debut, decent follow-up to a poor third record with very little signs of growth lyrically or musically inbetween. It's sad, I cannot fathom why any musician or collection of musicians (as the case is with Maxïmo) would ever want to do the same thing for three records and gradually do it worse. Ack.
April 20, 200916 yr I don't think they were really going for growth though? How did you think the record would sound? It's nothing particularly amazing / groundbreaking but they never were going to blow us away with some different were they? It's a solid yet unspectacular album.

It's nothing particularly amazing / groundbreaking but they never were going to blow us away with some different were they? It's a solid yet unspectacular album. What were they going for then? You're basically saying (or so it seems) settle for what you get and don't expect a lot. Fair enough but there's enough music all together stronger in every field than this dull turd so why bother one could argue? I always remain open-minded with bands. What's the point in expecting nothing, I tend to stop listening to bands who leave me with such a gaping hole of indifference.

What's the point in expecting nothing, I tend to stop listening to bands who leave me with such a gaping hole of indifference. They were going for the same sound they've done over the last two albums, and (I think) they've done a much better job of it on this album then their last. But there isn't any band like Maximo that do the same SORT of sound. Fair enough there are other indie/alternative bands that have done better albums then this but it doesn't seem to bother them that much. They do what they do very well without doing anything special. I wasn't expecting nothing, I was expecting more of the same. :P
