[idm] Am I crazy to think that FSOL's best album was "Dead Cities?"

I fucking swear to god... I kind of avoided this album for a while due to the initial single We Have Explosive, and all the FSOL fans saying the band is dead. Holy shit, what were those retarded fans smoking (and me, for that matter, by listening to them)? My Kingdom, State of Permanent Abyss, the title track, Yage, Glass, these are FSOL's best efforts. As rich in texture and subtlety as Lifeforms, yet with the beat drive of FSOL, it's like the culmination of the band's talents. Even We Have Explosive fits in well with the flow of the record, making the sounds and mood more diverse, and at the same time, even more thematic. Is there ANYONE here who feels the same? Or is everyone on IDM here think I'm insane? Don't get me wrong, ISDN, and especially Lifeforms, are really timeless albums, but I seriously think Dead Cities is their best. -mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
