this is by far the worst album battles has made. just lacks direction completely, they have a very unique sound but seem to know longer know where to go with it since braxton left the band. don caballero.... that's all i have say. ian should have never left that band because they still put out amazing albums every time.
@ajaxsequent1 agreed. I think Braxton was the perfect unifying personality for the band, able to bridge the gap between Ian's aloofness and Dave's and John's over-focus while giving the band an identity. I actually think "Gloss Drop" would have worked as an instrumental album, and that the band retooling the songs for so many guest vocalists resulted in the band completely losing any sense of identity.
@fearloathing91 That's great. All music to you is just a "few cool noises." Do you even realize how shallow that sounds? That's exactly what this band is by the way... shallow.
@MightyMartel hahaha get off your high and mighty horse dude, music is an art form, same as paint on canvas. And however these artists feel the need the express themselves is their right, some like it and find the art poignant in some way, others feel the need to be over critical assholes and sit back judging. I mean live your life the way you want, but no one is making you an asshole, your doing it yourself. *Don't reply back, this is over*
@fearloathing91 I'm not saying music can't just be random sounds, I just think they are a pretty boring band and I've been listening to them for years. I guess I just expect more from them. Whatever, you can just go fuck yourself. Thanks for giving me a crash course on music by the way, I really needed that from some random dude on the internet who has virtually no credibility. I know what I like and this band does very little for me.
@mookie2637 Idk, I would say music like this is very similar to Jazz or Classical because it's very intricate and precise and great for thinking but the only difference is most songs by Battles lack a strong melody. Random is really the only word I can use to describe them, I definitely appreciate their sound I just wish they could make actual songs with it. I would love to hear this song go somewhere but to me it's just filler.

@MightyMartel Mmmm. Interesting. I know what you mean, but they do well with it. What, though, would you characterise as the opposite?
