this a really brilliant album...first grimes...now this

I was just about to come on here and post about this.

I'd never heard of these guys before this album was released and so I very pleasantly surprised when I listened to the samples before buying it. On further listens this album has grown more and more. The qualiy of the production is really something special.

Overall an oustanding album.

Really good album, yes, but why does it have a cover so similar to Placebo's 'Sleeping with gods'?

Olos you've sold it for me! Grimes is a new discovery for me and I've been looking for similar stuff. Looks like I'll have to give this a go!

*They are from Canada. So let me give them a 4.5*

*Maybe I should review releases from Drake next and give them 4.5. Now that would be something new*

Have you heard the album electric.isle?

'Really good album, yes, but why does it have a cover so similar to Placebo's 'Sleeping with gods'?'

First: is 'Sleepings with Ghosts'
Sec: You're absolutely right! I though the same thing... Perhaps an inspiration/influence of that album?

Yes I did! the full album's on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX92YUTgANM

So you don't think the album is worth 4.5?

By the way, listening to a rip on Youtube will really not do it justice.

edit: hm not so sure about the 4.5. the whole album sounds the same.

I think I was quite clear on this album not being 4.5.

Oh Wait! Maybe I should buy Grado headphones; that'll do this album justice!

Anyway, if you are enjoying this album, good for you.

Finally a review of this thing that does it justice. I've had it on repeat since I got it.

I haven't heard the album but I know where electric.isle is coming from. Ryce is basically Canada's one-man-electronic-music-hype-machine at this point, and while I think it's cool that he wants to garner more attention for artists from his country, and it's not like he can ever match up to, say, the UK hype machine all by himself, he's been overrating some pretty average shit from there for a while now and it's reached a point where I take any review of his that has the words "canada" or "canadian" or "montreal" etc. with a grain of salt. That said, I will be checking this album out, but that's mainly due to the positive reaction in the comments.

I'm not saying you have to like the album or have the same opinion as me, I just think to claim it only got a 4.5 because the reviewer is also Canadian is a bit off the mark.

Outstanding album. Absolutely love it.

I don't give a shit where music comes from.

Ryce doesn't give a shit where music comes from...as long as its watered down and poppy as shit (he is a Pitchfork reviewer after all).

shibbydoo you sound like a tool. so any music that has any pop aspirations is immediately terrible?

One of the best to come out this year so far. Plays in the same league as Tune-Yards, Beach House and even Animal Collective.

thread-fight aside, this album was not very good, and certainly nowhere near a 4.5/5. just my opinion, give it a listen yourself, but be warned.

This is a great album, more like dub techno with moments of pop and electronica.

lol 'be warned'! What should we be warned about? Either you like an album or not, not really necessary to warn people.

For me, this is the best thing I've heard in a while. I'd agree there are elements of dub techno as well as dubstep and minimal techno. It all works very well.

Really really really enjoyed this album.
