Waves is soooo good. The melodies are just gorgeous, Casey really knows how to write harmonies and beautiful melodic passages.

YtseJamittaja · « **Reply #2906 on:** July 13, 2015, 01:06:07 PM »

I just listened to Waves 10 times in a row and I just can't get enough of it. I think I'm in love..

Heretic · « **Reply #2907 on:** July 15, 2015, 12:15:56 PM »

Can't get enough of either of these songs.

WHAT WILL I SEEEEEEEEEEEE
TONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #2908 on:** July 16, 2015, 11:08:06 AM »

Love the two newest songs, going to be a great album, I just know it.

And I just got around to listening to some of Migrant. Whisper is so good.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #2909 on:** August 10, 2015, 06:01:35 PM »

Guess nobody saw the newest song from Act IV was out?

"Wait" is now on Spotify.

Apparently my preorder does not entitle me to an MP3 of that one

Great song, the weakest of the three yet for me, but still awesome overall.

ariich · « **Reply #2913 on:** August 13, 2015, 12:23:58 AM »

Hah, probably my favourite of the three. I love when TDH do darker stuff, and this has a bit of a Black EP vibe to it.

Genowyn · « **Reply #2914 on:** August 13, 2015, 01:49:02 AM »

This album is shaping up to be quite good, I just hope they're leaving enough good stuff for the album.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #2915 on:** August 13, 2015, 10:17:08 AM »

I'm certain this album will be great.

Apparently there's been some problems with the LPs, I received an e-mail yesterday:

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #2919 on:** September 01, 2015, 03:35:29 PM »

You listen now, of course.

And damn, that's a bit of a wait for the vinyl lovers.

millahh · « **Reply #2920 on:** September 03, 2015, 10:09:07 PM »

Upside to working a late night tonight...hit "buy" at 12:00, and it's downloading now!

ariich · « **Reply #2921 on:** September 04, 2015, 02:31:28 AM »

Oh man, this album is a lot to take in but it's sounding SO good.

Bitter Suite IV/V is just insanely good.

In general, I am adoring the return of the dark quirky folk stuff. I love TCS and Migrant, but one of my favourite things about the Acts is the infusion of that quirky folk so it's great having loads of it on this album.

Zantera · « **Reply #2922 on:** September 04, 2015, 02:47:55 AM »

It's better than Migrant and probably Act III, but doesn't have anything on TCS or Act II. Still, a positive surprise.

ariich · « **Reply #2923 on:** September 04, 2015, 03:20:52 AM »

Early thoughts are not quite as great as Act III, which is one of my all-time favourites by anyone. Hard to say how it compares with TCS, Act II and Migrant at this stage, needs far more listens.

Xanthul · « **Reply #2924 on:** September 04, 2015, 04:26:45 AM »

Had to come here during my first listen to say WHATS GOING ON WITH KING OF SWORDS?!!? Awesome ish.

Overall I'm enjoying it quite a bit though it's dense, I will need a couple of weeks before I even attempt to rank it.

ariich · « **Reply #2925 on:** September 04, 2015, 04:28:59 AM »

Haha yeah King of Swords was quite surprising. Fun song though.

YtseJamittaja · « **Reply #2926 on:** September 04, 2015, 09:58:22 AM »

King of Swords is way too fun!!

Needs more listens but I think this will be in my top3 albums of the year!

Genowyn · « **Reply #2927 on:** September 04, 2015, 03:14:53 PM »

Can't wait to get off work so I can listen to the album. Four and a half hours to go *sigh*

Genowyn · « **Reply #2928 on:** September 04, 2015, 07:46:33 PM »

Got off a bit early

That was a great album. King of Swords was cool.

pain of occupation · « **Reply #2929 on:** September 04, 2015, 09:51:14 PM »

so far so good (so what?!)...I have a feeling this will be my fave TDH to date.

Zantera · « **Reply #2930 on:** September 05, 2015, 02:46:13 AM »

King of Swords really sticks out in a good way. Pretty much the rest of the album is the TDH we have already heard before, nothing really new, and so when King of Swords pops up, it just has such a different style than everything else. Maybe the catchiest song they have done.

lordxizor · « **Reply #2931 on:** September 05, 2015, 10:42:30 AM »

Act IV definitely stand up to the greatness of Act II and III. I need several more listens before I decide where it falls.

Seeing them on Sunday in Minneapolis

King Postwhore · « **Reply #2933 on:** September 09, 2015, 06:43:44 AM »

A bright and uplifting album. So much to soak in.

Genowyn · « **Reply #2934 on:** September 09, 2015, 09:31:48 AM »

I hope someone on the internet posts a story analysis at some point, I really want to know what causes the massive shift in tone towards the end of the album.

Do he and Miss Leading break up again (I assume he meets her again early on)? Does he get exposed for taking his half-brother's identity?

DarkLord_Lalinc · « **Reply #2935 on:** September 09, 2015, 09:58:19 AM »

This is one of the best albums I've listened to in months. Miles better than 'Migrant'.

Very quality. Wow.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #2937 on:** September 09, 2015, 10:45:43 AM »

Yeah, I'm really liking this album. Very catchy, fun, and beautiful.

Heretic · « **Reply #2938 on:** September 14, 2015, 01:26:51 AM »

The melodies on this album are just amazing, Casey took everything he learned from TCS and clearly evolved it alongside his theater-esque sound. Might actually be my fav by them overall, I just love it all as a whole.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #2939 on:** September 14, 2015, 09:54:40 AM »

Agreed.

Also, been listening to The Color Spectrum and Migrant a lot lately. I think The Collapse of the Great Tide Cliffs is an outstanding song, I love the lyrics. Might be one of their best, IMO. I never see much mention of it though, what do you all think about it?

Also, going to see them on October 10th in Atlanta. I'm excited!
