2012 Albums of the Year thread

OPP

I could get to it, but the question is do I want to?

JLRedWing13

I like it a lot.

MenAreTrash

Sax was way overused

JLRedWing13

No. The more prominent use of the saxophone is partially why I think it's so good.....

MenAreTrash

It was cool but overstayed its welcome. It just engulfed the last half of the album.

JLRedWing13

There is no such thing as too much saxophone. [-(

MenAreTrash

There's no bias in that statement.

OPP

JLRedWing13

None whatsoever. [-(

FLAT

saxophone > you

Really interested to hear what you (all) think of Epicloud.

MetalCoresades

I'm guessing top 5 material... I can't wait to hear it.

OPP

It has some really cool tracks, but also a few less than stellar ones. And then there's Lucky Animals, which I'm pretty sure is a halfway joke track.

MetalCoresades

but its Devin... he pisses pure gold...

OPP

Lucky Animals must have been a painful piss then.

OPP

Although the new material translated excellently live.

MetalCoresades

ouch... a kidney stone :-?

OPP

That's a better way of explaining it.

MetalCoresades

interesting...
