zero Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I guess it goes without saying that it made me cry as well. The Slip has been the soundtrack through which I've weathered so much sadness and loss. To sort of feel like you're coming out of the end of that tunnel (maybe the beginning of another)- to feel like they are also coming out of the tunnel as a band is incredibly inspiring (and heartbreaking).

Jakis Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Wow. What an album, I can not stop listening to it. Cant wait to pick up a copy when they come to town. Great, great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Overall it's a great album. Life in disguise is interesting and fresh. It does have me saying farewell to these guys in my head because from the sounds of this album they're about to jump into something bigger.

dave-O Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Well, my plan on waiting lasted just over 24 hours. I got jealous of everybody else listening to it.If One Of Us Should Fall sounds outstanding. But I'm not a big fan of the synth pads/fake sounding string section in the background. Takes away from the organic feel of the song.This is a very slick production. And that line about "the most cohesive work of their career" is 100% true.Fucking eh!

bradm Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I haven't downloaded it, will not download, and will cover my ears, saying "Nah nah nah nah, I can't hear you , nah nah nah..." if I happen to be in the presence of someone blaring it through a sound system before it's officially released.I take this position not because of any sense of idealism, it's just that I don't want Booche to hate me.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes away from the organic feel of the song.The "strings" struck me when I heard them, but they are so weak in the mix that they are completely tolerable to me. They aren't the "long and winding road" strings by any means, and not even close to Trey's strings. They're very subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 The build at the end of Paper Birds is killer - Anthem for a 17 year girl or not. I especially like the listing of a bunch of their song titles in the lyrics (that's an old Sting favourite trick)... "your Mothwing Bite, your Paper Birds, your Lonely Boy, your Soft Machine"...

"your Mothwing Bite, your Paper Birds, your Lonely Boy, your Soft Machine"...That's a great comparison, but I can't think of the stingy examples. Isn't this referenced somewhere?"Do I have to tell the storyOf a thousand rainy days since we first metIt's a big enough umbrellaBut it's always me that ends up getting wet"Also, did you know that "I want my MTV" was sung by Sting exactly like "Don't Stand So Close to Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
