RE>Lifeforms=Dead?
FSOL is not for every one.
Unlike their old records which hold the listener's hand through the musical experience,
this one takes a bit of imagination.. Let yourself go and become one with the
music. (-'

I just got Lifeforms after nearly going crazy waiting for it and reading
the mindblowing reviews posted here. Upon first listen, it's not very
good. To me, it just never takes off. Just like SAW II, unfortunately.
The whole album sounds like intros. Granted that technically the album
is pretty impressive and very layered, as I was expecting, but it never
KICKS! Accelerator was pure FATNESS! Tales of Ephedrina was an amazing
blend of ambient landscapes and FAT beats: there were musical peaks and
valleys. Contrasts of fast and slow, hard and soft. Lifeforms seems to
never get really soft or really hard.
Tales was a nice progression from Accelerator. Lifeforms is a step back.
Peace.
