Wall of Mouths

Reaeally - 2 years ago? I’m pretty sure OCFA was a coaster by now - can’t remember the last time I dug it out in fact.

Timber is excellent - I’ll reserve judgement until we have another album or 2 - it’s certainly top 3 or 4 though isn’t it?

It’s very hard to believe that Babyteeth was their first album. It’s so very very good. Not a weak moment on it.

CT is great, definitely one of their best… maybe 4th for me, behind Troublegum, Suicide Pact and Shameless, but it’s hard to judge, they’re all great :-)

Holy crap it’s been that long…? It’s probably 5th-7th for me because I do think most earlier albums were still better: Crooked Timber starts out with 5 absolute killer tracks and the songs after that aren’t bad but not of the same quality by far imo, except for Somnambulist. However its still their best album in many (9!) years and the unique sound gives it an appeal mere numbers can’t express, it also boded well for the future at the time because while Magic Mountain may not be a track you can listen to all the time stuff like that proved T? were becoming more original once again, I’m sure they’ll be able to keep it up : )

Well, it’s always more interesting if they do something new but ‘Living In The Shadow Of A Terrible Thing’ does suggest they are continuing in that musical direction somewhat and just adding more elements, if it’s done in a good way (like LITSOATT) I don’t mind though :D

Yeah, I know T? are known for changing styles quite often, but I don’t mind a couple of albums in a row with a similar sound - especially if it’s more gritty rock like CT :-)

Word, Infernal Love’s my favourite album of all time.

wow, doesn’t feel that long. it’s still fresh sounding to my ears. guess that’s a good sign … :-)
wouldn’t mind a rather similar next record too … but anyway it’s going to turn out to sound, i’m sure the lads have put their hearts into it and it will be a good record!

Just listened to it yesterday, still sounds fresh as a daisy. I’ve been careful not to overplay it though, which may account for that. Definitely one of their most fully-formed masterpieces! The album has a uniquiness of sound and concept. I’ve just listened to the album with the Gold ‘sample versions’ for the first time, can’t decide which versions I like better. I love samples as part of the T? sound, but at the same time I like the empty spaciousness of CT without them. Any thoughts?

It doesn’t seem like 2 years - still listen to the album alot from start to finish. Seems to have more staying power than OCFA did with me.

I’ve only heard the Gold one on Spotify, but I much prefer Magic Mountain without the samples. It’s a cool effect but they get in the way of the music.

Haven’t listened to Crooked Timber in ages! Must fix this later.

I like the Gold one more. Sounding much deeper with the samples. I’m not a big fan of remixes though.

I thought Don’t Try was an A-track as well, don’t remember how Low Winter Sun sounds : / I don’t have the Gold Edition but luckily I have the Crooked Timber single CD.
