Which means it's at least better than Combinations.

I'm pretty sure I even like Combinations more than Deep Space.

Combinations is pretty lousy IMO.

glaurung · « **Reply #737 on:** July 07, 2012, 06:03:08 PM »

It's definitely not up to Room noises and The Valley's level but it is still a really good album.

Ħ · « **Reply #738 on:** July 07, 2012, 06:18:37 PM »

It's all right, I guess, if I think about it. But it's not something brilliant like the other two.

Combinations is a great album, I'd rank them all pretty consistent with each other.

Show was awesome, there was about 100 people I'd guess at the venue. They sounded phenomenal, the sound was perfectly clear and they were spot on the whole night, stronger than the albums most of the time.

We were the only ones that waited for them to come out after the show, as it was hot as fuck and back in an alley. They also only had a truck compared to the tour bus. For some reason I thought they owned that one I've seen in videos before, but I guess Weston said they rent a lot. (Which makes sense to what Gadough said earlier)

They were super nice also, they came right over as they were between moving gear out. There was a super shitty ramp out the back though and their gear ( only guitar and small cases) fell all over when they came out with the biggest load though haha.

Didn't get any photos with them as it was super hot and late, and in a dark alleyway behind the venue, but I got my copy of The Valley and the poster signed, with Merriment as well. It was a great show overall!

Awesome! Glad you had fun!

Broken link.

I think Sherri is pregnant (link is broken for me too)

glaurung · « **Reply #746 on:** July 26, 2012, 12:51:41 PM »

Here you go.

ZBomber · « **Reply #747 on:** July 26, 2012, 12:55:53 PM »

It is so weird how all three of them are pregnant at the same fucking time

All that's left is Christie Dupree.

Mike, your time has come.

New album announced!

Zantera · « **Reply #751 on:** March 25, 2013, 02:00:16 PM »

Really excited for this. The Valley is IMO their best album so far, so if the new one will continue down that road in terms of quality, I will be really happy.

glaurung · « **Reply #752 on:** March 25, 2013, 02:14:32 PM »

I think The Valley is their best too. There's still some of the whimsicality they had before but it also has a much better production/sound too it and they're bettwe songwirters now than they were when they were so young. Room Noises is still a really close second.

Zantera · « **Reply #753 on:** March 25, 2013, 02:18:59 PM »

Yeah I still really like Room Noises too. Like you said, they matured a lot with The Valley and I really like that. For some reason it seems like every other release the band puts out gets really positive response. Room Noises is an album most people seem to like, Combinations generally is a so-so album (some really like it, some think it's the weakest by far), The Valley got mostly positive when it came, and The latest EP also got so-so reception from what I noticed.

While I don't necessarily agree (I still like both Combinations and the EP), maybe the new album will be as good as The Valley or Room Noises.

the Sucre album is really good.

Oh crap, I totally forgot about it. *spotifies*

Aefenwelg · « **Reply #759 on:** April 25, 2013, 04:41:41 PM »

So, did anybody listen to the two new songs I posted?

They're pretty good.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #760 on:** April 25, 2013, 09:28:20 PM »

I agree. I absolutely adore the cover art.

Zantera · « **Reply #761 on:** May 28, 2013, 07:06:50 AM »

So the new album is really nice. I wasn't blown away on the first listen, but with each listen since, another song or so has clicked.

Millstone, Drink the Water and Currents are my favorites so far.

Aefenwelg · « **Reply #762 on:** June 16, 2013, 11:57:04 PM »

How come nobody ever talked about the new album?

Out of all their albums, it took the longest to click by far.
But I'm pretty comfortable saying it's my favorite now.

The only song that's not as good as the other's (I can't say it's not good, because it is still very good; it's just not as very good)
is Millstone.

Zantera · « **Reply #763 on:** June 17, 2013, 02:33:36 AM »

The album took a while longer to click for me as well, but it is pure beauty. If I had to rank the songs from best to worst, I would say:

Millstone
Drink the Water
Wicked Child
Find Me Here
Blue Fish
Currents
The Night Comes
Save My Soul
Lost Enemies
Shelter
Wonder English
Real World

Millstone might just be my alltime favorite Eisley-song.

Elite · « **Reply #764 on:** August 16, 2013, 07:44:47 AM »

I've been on an Eisley binge lately, especially playing The Valley over and over again. Then I found out they had a new album! So, listening now. First impression: wow, this is different! But pretty awesome nonetheless!

Zook · « **Reply #765 on:** December 10, 2014, 08:58:19 AM »

I listened to Room Noises, The Valley, Currents, and Combinations in that order... just because. There were a few gems throughout these albums, but ultimately they bored me. Thought I'd give this band a shot though. I do love the singers.

Also, pretty sure Paramore drew inspiration from this band when writing their latest.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #766 on:** August 17, 2023, 02:39:28 PM »

super old bump.

Sucré's new album "Starkisser" is coming out on September 29th.

You know what song is really great? "Save my Soul" from Currents. Those backing harmonies are so delicious.

It is!

Man, I was pretty much there from the beginning with Eisley–Room Noises was in constant rotation during my mid twenties.

That said, Currents is my personal favorite. That album has such a strong, cohesive sense of atmosphere. I love the instrumentation and, of course, the vocals are sublime.

Fun fact: Eisley was the name my wife and I had picked out if our youngest son had been a daughter.
