FINALLY!

OH MAN! I cannot wait for this one... I haven't been this excited about a rock-related release since the new Alice In Chains album!

Fantastic album name.

Awesome name indeed.

The name is pretty meh, but has little bearing on anything in all reality.

For a 30 minute song, Cassandra Gemini is pretty fantastic.

The whole album is fantastic! It just drags a bit between songs.

ACID_FOX · « **Reply #258 on:** January 14, 2012, 10:08:34 AM »

Drags ALOT between songs, to the point of stupidity.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #259 on:** January 14, 2012, 10:09:43 AM »

Do what I did and cut out some of the ambient stuff. It makes the album flow MUCH better.

This would probably be a good idea. It really does drag a good bit.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #262 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:11:37 AM »

Which album?

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #263 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:21:51 AM »

Frances the Mute.

theseoafs · « **Reply #264 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:23:55 AM »

I understand the complaint about dragging between songs, though the songs themselves are incredible (it's probably in my top 5 favorite albums). I think the songs as they are are far too charming to cut, though. If you're in the mood for some ambient noise, the transition between L'Via and Miranda is nothing short of intense, and the transition between Miranda and Cassandra never ceases to surprise me.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #265 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:25:15 AM »

Hm, I should go listen to the rest of their discography, I actually only own Octahedron, love the album.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #266 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:28:17 AM »

WTF are you waiting for?!?!?!

Gorille85 · « **Reply #267 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:32:41 AM »

Get their first one!!

Dark Castle · « **Reply #268 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:36:53 AM »

Listening to on Spotify as we speak.

In the version I've made, I haven't cut out the ambient noise completely, just trimmed it slightly. I do agree to a certain extent, though, that some of the transitions are excellent - I just think they are a little bit long (and uncecessary) in places, for my tastes at least.

For me, if an album's flow is perfect (or near perfect), it takes it to a much higher level overall.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #270 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:44:26 AM »

I wouldn't cut the Coquí sounds from L'Via!

ACID_FOX · « **Reply #271 on:** January 14, 2012, 11:59:36 AM »

The three minutes of noise at the end of Cygnus is too much to handle.

theseoafs · « **Reply #272 on:** January 14, 2012, 12:34:30 PM »

If you like music, you need to listen to Frances the Mute. No excuses.

Might as well throw in a ranking:

1. Frances the Mute
2. Deloused in the Comatorium
3. Octahedron
4. The Bedlam in Goliath
5. Amputechture

ZBomber · « **Reply #273 on:** January 14, 2012, 12:46:35 PM »

The only time the ambiance in Frances bothers me is if I just want to listen to a song or two from the album. If I'm listening to the whole album, then the ambient sections add a lot imo.

My ranking would be this, I believe. Francis and Deloused are definitely the best.

I only really listen to Frances first thing in the morning, and all the way through, so the ambiance doesn't bother me.

YES! Somebody else that loves Bedlam! Mine is very similiar:

1. The Bedlam in Goliath
2. Frances the Mute
3. Deloused in the Comatorium
4. Amputecture
5. Octahedron
6. Tremulant (Yep, I'm gonna be that guy that adds in the EP)

They are all awesome though in my opinion!

This would be my ranking as well, although Deloused and Bedlam could switch around depending on my mood. Amputechture is still really good, but the "vibe" of that album never meshed with me as well as the other ones. Not sure why, I think it might be the production.
