Envy - An Umbrella Fallen into Fiction

[TTDMFfreaknew]

This shit's sinister :/

Real heavy, real emotion

[Djroshi01]

I'm gonna get shit for this but doesn't the vocalist remind you of Tommy from BTBAM?

[ckreticeland]

@Djroshi01 Why would you get shit for this? BTBAM is a great band. I think that they don't sound very a like though. Tommy's voice is far more guttural and closer to death metal vocals, Envy's vocals are legit hardcore screams. I guess I could see some similarities between the two with this EP and the Envy/Jesu split, but otherwise I'm not hearing it.

[Djroshi01]

@ckreticeland That's why. My friend showed me a link to this song and the first thing to pop up in my head was BTBAM. And there's always that one fans that says "

No way in hell dude" or something of that fashion.

[ckreticeland]

@Djroshi01 well, I personally think Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth sounds similar to Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters sometimes, I'm positive I'm the only one though xD

[iloveyou123486]

i dont understand why you ppl like this

[ckreticeland]

@iloveyou123486 you do have ears, right?

[postrockd]

sounds a lot like The Circle Ends Here!!!! :D :D :D

[LAdumpsterbaby]

Can anyone send me this CD? I havent been able to find anywhere to buy the mp3's....only a vinyl copy :/

[ckreticeland]

@LAdumpsterbaby it's all on itunes

[Toynby]

Who is the 1 asshole that "disliked" this?!

[earzmundo]

i jizz...this split was epic

[ckreticeland]

i just found out that allmusic gave this release a 2.5/5.... i usually like the reviews by allmusic, but that just pissed me off. this album is at least a 4.5/5 in my book

[black0seakt]

the first words, sound like...

hikaru kimi ni

ikiru mi no shihai

hare ma, ame furi

kusa ga hajiku

zara mi ki

zutto soko ni

[it's probably not that correct since I'm not Japanese, but that's what I heard.]

[OlofLinden]

@OlofLinden

Okay, so for some reason the URL gets screwed up. For me it was as simple as removing "%C2%AD" between the d and the s in "d­sc00609i", hope that helps should anyone want the lyrics.

[OlofLinden]

@OlofLinden

I have no idea why or how but that link was broken, try this instead:

Well, if you or anyone else is still looking for the japanese lyrics here they are.

[iSanmuar]

ive been a fan of envy for awhile but tell me.. is the bands name thursday or envy i personally think its thursday but thats just me

[ckreticeland]

@iSanmuar what do you mean?

[HarmonyOfElements]

@ckreticeland He means whether the name of this band is Envy or Thursday. Since it's a split EP. :) I'll inform him.

[Nizzemanden]

@ckreticeland some people are not used to split releases.

[Diepzeetegel]

@iSanmuar erm, they're two different bands. Thursday is a post-hardcore band from the United States, and Envy is a Japanese screamo/post-rock band. They just made a split EP called Thursday/Envy. This is one of the tracks on that.

[ThePictureme]

@iSanmuar

Thursday is another band.

This is the cover for the split they did with them.

I think they each had 4 songs.

[ThePictureme]

@iSanmuar

Thursday is another band.

This is the cover for the split they did with them.

I think they each had 4 songs.

It says so in the description of the video.

[cessNa1337]

@iSanmuar thursday is another band...

[ivesceneenough]

@iSanmuar

this song is by the band Envy.

its from a split release by 2 bands, thursday and envy.

[HarmonyOfElements]

@iSanmuar THIS IS Envy.

There's also another band called Thursday.

It's just on a split EP, which means there's two bands on an EP!

[notyourmartyr]

@HarmonyOfElements Twice the fun, half the discs!

[sanjinans]

@iSanmuar Its envy, its a split(half cd envy half thursday) envy with another band thursday if that is what you mean :D

[Nizzemanden]

@iSanmuar envy and thursday is two different bands, and both of them are on this cd, with each their own tracks.

[ohhhben]

@iSanmuar

it's a SPLIT: as in both Thursday and Envy have songs on the album.

[Aamonath]

@iSanmuar This is by Envy, it's on a split album with Thursday.

[Ryanjelly22]

@iSanmuar One band is called Thursday, another is called Envy....This is a split album....

[sukkamehutiiviste]

@iSanmuar Thursday and Envy did a split EP. They're two different bands...

[scattershot1]

I thank thursday every day for doing this and introducing me to Envy. that and helping touche amore get signed and making wicked albums on their career. There seems to be a lot o thank Thursday for.

[trainity14]

thank god for brought this song to my life...

[lamuertenvaso]

ENVY

 the best

[Styxs420]

there should be a dubstep version of this

[SeanBearE]

@Styxs420 Hahahaha, you rule.

[JollyKeks]

muss ich angst haben?? uuäähh

[ilikeost]

Sounds alot like Mono

[Transfixion]

@ilikeost na mono sounds alot like this

[ilikeost]

So you think that Envy was before Mono when it comes to the post-rock influence? Well you are wrong.

[Transfixion]

@ilikeostOh ur most certainly right. Hey you know who has the best post rock sound? Katatonia. Oh and don't forget Opeth. Any other bands you want to add to the list?

[ckreticeland]

@Transfixion opeth = post rock? i never really thought of them like that

[Transfixion]

@ckreticeland No, they're not post rock, I was being sarcastic. they're a good band tho but i like meshuggah more

[ilikeost]

@Transfixion Haha you dont have to get your knickers in a twist just because you were wrong. So I've uploaded some rare ep's and demos of bands from different genres, why does that matter?

[Transfixion]

@ilikeost lol i didn't know they were rare ep's i just saw they were there and it doesn't matter what they are I'm not wrong. Envy doesn't get their post rock sound from mono, they've evolved from post hard-core to post rock they don't need to listen to Mono for ideas, and Mono doesn't need to listen to Envy for ideas, they both do their own thing in their own way separate from eachother

[ilikeost]

@Transfixion I never said that Envy took their sound from Mono I just said that it reminded me of Mono.

[Transfixion]

@ilikeost mmk

[CrystalChaos00]

Is there any way I can get the lyrics in japanese?

I have been looking a lot but no luck :(

[ckreticeland]

@CrystalChaos00 ur not the first person that asked. i'll try to look myself, but i probably wont be able to find anything

[CrystalChaos00]

@ckreticeland thank you very much!!

[FRoZenTaKKoParad3]

@CrystalChaos00 google translate..?

[CrystalChaos00]

@FRoZenTaKKoParad3 LOL thx for the suggestion, but I am trying to find the original lyrics :) [which are in japanese], yet it seems there are not published anywhere T_T

[choppergunner123]

あなたの光沢のあるライブ目の治世。 クリア空は、雨、傘で大騒ぎと反発。 が永遠に。 時間は限りが経つにつれ、言葉が未開封です。 私は、涙を流してあなたの話す声の優しさが寝ています。 雨の音が遠くにすぐに行くように。 純粋な空は私が待機する時間を探して接続されています。 ここでは永遠に。 世界は白にします。 草の香り。 壊れた世界。 バラが倒れたと枯れてしまった。 暖かさが私の手私たちの金と私の額に傷の中に置か。 夜空は、私が土地に行ったところ荒れ狂う風が停止します。 振り返ると、すべての羨望の手紙を見た。 見知らぬ人の涙は接近の視線の向こう側に反映されます。 春の花びら捕えるが広がるビューで染色。 あなたは小説の救済の味を学び、ささやいた"それは不可能です。­" 私は季節はまたかわる香りがします。

[CrystalChaos00]

@choppergunner123 you made my day :) Thank you!!! :*

[Nizzemanden]

@choppergunner123 i agree.

[OlofLinden]

Oh, and the cover art is really nice too, I've had my record on a shelf as a piece of art from the day I bought it until now!

[ckreticeland]

lol same here!!!! this is honestly one of my favorite albums. my past two favorite bands (envy is still kind of a favorite) the music from both bands is just the best they've ever written, imo

[OlofLinden]

Bought this vinyl last year but haven't been able to listen to it since i couldn't get my record player to work and the CD that came with it was all scratched up and I promised myself I wouldn't listen to it in any other place until I had heard it on the vinyl. Today I bought a new record player and this was ofcourse the first record I played, I don't think I need to say anything other than AWESOME!

[estrogenkid]

typewriter as a percussion instrument is awesome in this song.

[PkDramatic]

nice rare song <.< cant get any were :

[JoshuaGuthrie]

Suck to be you.

I have the numbered EP w/ vinyl, CD & shirt.

(Lurk around the internet some more... I even found it in a store in Paris - yeah I know this was supposed to be a limited release, I was f***ing surprised Oo)

[ckreticeland]

mhm. that's the only reason i uploaded this album

[dethmark]

[teanlong]

[ckreticeland]

mhm! its 100% impossible

[Transfixion]

Pure Win

[vansbrand]

The end was intense! Love it

[lordzouk]

this song is one of the reasons why screamo/post-hardcore should get much more attention

[ckreticeland]

[ChuChuX6]

Any chance on posting the Japanese lyrics?

[jjlovestheused]
