I'm listening to it at the moment(yet again) and without doubt this album is a serious "grower"

I'm beginning to love "Who Sees You" �'�

Not saying it doesn't deserve it, but it's kinda boring now that this is probably going to be the Number One album on BEA for the rest of 2013.

Fascinating record. Feels like I'd been sleeping for 22 years, very strange experience if you were there and into it when Loveless came out. That 'Back tot the Future' effect is something I have never experienced ever with a new record.

hahaha

Absolutely this... I feel 20 again.. it's fun!

I've listened to this album about 20 times now. At this point I think I can honestly say I prefer it to Loveless. I wasn't even hyping it up either. It's actually really surprised me.

TOTALLY with you on that one.. 'If i am' is utterly sublime!

m b v is definitely a grower... I am loving it more and more everytime I listen to it. Although it is still has some serious growing to do if it is ever going to overtake 'You Made Me Realise EP', which for me is heaven in 5 songs!

Interesting. I found "If I Am" to be one of the weaker tracks on the album. "New You" and "In Another Way", on the other hand...I'll have to give them a few more listens, but I may like them even better than anything on Loveless.

I did review it on rateyourmusic actually, I wouldn't say I did a great job because I still think I haven't let my feelings for this album sink in. If anything, I think it's trying to be "Remain in Light' (not necessarily intentional). i felt that odd vibe throughout the album that I feel when listening to remain in light. I'm not sure how many people agree with my comparison though, but that's besides the point.

Of course, the last three tracks are amazing (in my opinion), they were engaging, entertaining, powerful. Throughout the album I was just a tad bit bored, but then out of nowhere, some rocking tracks come and just surprise me. If there's anyone thing I can say I like about this album, it's the last three tracks, My Bloody Valentine were on the ball with those ones and I have a feeling if I enjoyed the album a bit more, those tracks would standout even more.

Shaco answered me on the post above you. Don't worry. I'll be out of this thread now, because I don't really need to listen to Loveless.

Please think very carefully before you blindly reply to this.

I'm not shutting down the thread just for you. But I will delete and archive each off topic post you make in this thread from this point as long as I'm awake. My suggestion: move on.

And just to show I'm not picking on you, if you do decide to discuss this thread's topic and people start trying to bait you, I will archive and delete their posts as well, and when AM reviews it he can decide if it should be restored.

Can you please either remain on topic or refrain from posting?

I meant using synthesizers to constantly make a horrible voice sound good. I didn't know what to think of her voice because it was the first time I heard it. I had only heard it on synths and not the actual voice.

Again, stop talking about it. I came here for music, not pressure. If you keep talking about it, I will.

And like I said, THIS SHOULD BE DROPPED OR SOMEONE'S GONNA SHUT DOWN THIS THREAD.

What are you even talking about, a synthesizer is a keyboard that produces synthesized electronic sounds. What I think you're referring too is autotune, which Belinda would never fucking use, and if you think she is on loveless then you obviously dont know what that sounds like(modern maroon 5).

Just so you know JMan, considering you said you liked Maroon 5, etc.. They all use those sort of pitch corrections in their songs. So, why is it a bad thing?

Kanye West, Daft Punk, Burial, etc.. Have been able to use programs like Melodyme and certain EQ's to make brilliant use of their voices.

And if you don't think bands like The Rolling Stones or Adele or Meat Loaf or yes, even Cher, haven't used plug-in tools on their voice to make it crystallized pop, you've quite mistaken. Mostly in recent work of course though. 60's-70 stones used analog stuff.

This. And I believe the "synthesizers" your reffering to is Autotune a.k.a. T-Pain. That's horrible, dont you ever compare Belinda to that ever again.

Yes. Bilinda Butcher can sing. Extremely melodically. That's why her voice is used more as an instrument than anything else.

And you don't use 'synthesizers' to sing. 🙄 Or correct pitch or anything.

And no, Cher is still an unfortunate thing.

You know what I'm talking about with the synthesizers. And why don't you drop this Cher thing before this thread gets closed, too.

I don't like the album. Period. Please stop talking about it.
