First of all, A warm thank you to lady Adia for posting this! Posts
like these are what keeps us on the inside track.
List, your keeping very quiet on this. Follow the link and check out
the audio samples...
So, What do you all think? I'm kind of on the fence.
Strenghts = It does sound very musical in a larger than life kind of
way. I like how 0-1 really stab at those synth lines. Some of the
effects are really interesting.
Weakness = Very clubby sounding, complete with excessive vocals and a
knack for repeating chorus lines. KSR "somedays" is on the album and
I'm not into Lorne's material. Did I also see Blackwater on that LP?
jeesh. Enough already.
My two cents:
Over all, Im looking forward to the release, I certainly won't pass it
without a listen. But from the few songs I have heard, as well as the
recent eps, this release hasn't convinced me that its of quality equal
to many of 0-1s previous releases, or the RNG releases (the live mix on
the Mills DVD was incredible). "Perhaps" because the increased
involvement of Lorne. Lorne was 9 years old when he watched his older
brothers create Day by Day, it's obvious that the real talent flows
within the older brothers. I'm not hating, but I just wouldn't put him
alongside his brothers in terms of having the gift. At least not from
what I've already heard by him, but maybe he'll surprise me on this new
releases? I still really hope Lawrence and Lenny go a few tracks alone
on this one. I could use some new (old) Octave One ;)
Group hug for Aida for being on point!
