I've listened to it like at least 6 times already which is phenomenal because it means I have to listen to an album in multiple settings. Some of the stuff on there is genius, and all of it is good. Up there with the best of the year.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Only two little aspects of the album that i'm slightly disappointed about. First, and I admit this is REALLY petty and geeky, I would have liked to hear the same guitar harmonic riff-thing (the one that Bath opens with) somewhere on Blue Ghost Revisited.  I know that's just me being an ***hole but I really like reccurring themes and stuff. Sorry.
Secondly, I kind of wish that it had heavier parts like the other albums but it's a fine listen without.
 

actually it is in there. you can hear it under the acoustic guitar solo after the first chorus

Much much better than BLD part the Second is.  Definitely one of the best things Toby's ever had a hand in.

Well I suppose it doesn't matter because I have a new free very fine album to listen to. I suppose he can call it whatever he wants.


Part the Second is largely old motW material from when the band was arround mixed with a fair amount of new material (Rose Quartz Turning to Glass is probably all new material but a lot of the rest resembles the softer side of motW) , but in either case he's still the main composer of music in the two groups.

Have you heard his solo work? It sounds almost nothing like the two bands IMO, very slow and makes me think how the soundtrack to a scary film should sound (i.e. scary).

So, how has the new motW album gone down in all things Toby Driver related, I reckon its right up there with Leaving Your Body Map, Choirs of the Eye and Blue Lambency Downward.

Got the new Baliset album yesterday as well, very strong effort though very different to anything Drivr led.

Ghastly City Sleep, they have no screamo influence at all which is kinda disappointing. Basically shoegaze from what i heard.

I know I already mentioned they come from City of Caterpillar, but the band themselves display no sort of screamo sound.

Oh man I can´t get enough of Bath. I used to think of it as Leaving your body map´s little brother... how wrong was I!!!!!! It´s even better, so incredible!!! And the Blue Ghost is... just so amazing, probably my favorite song from them, so... perfect!!!

I think my fruit... is absolutely solid, and this is my post saying that it is, and that I'm very disapointed in Mike for not hearing it.

Its certainly different than anything else, but I really enjoy. Probably moreso than his solo album.

^You and me both

Looked at the KD website yesterday and it says Mia's going to be playing guitar on the new album, which should be interesting and Toby's playing bass again, Gleam in Ranks is all the excuse I need to be excited about that!
