Alkaline Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Me, definitely. I really like Secondsmile, i almost put them and Jairus on in Aberdeen about 4 years ago though they canceled the tour as they were offered a good support slot, can't remember who it was though.Anyway, i will go.

stuartmaxwell Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Secondsmile are pretty damn good these days, the album was tres sweet. I believe it was the fall of troy they got the tour support with last time they were due to come to scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 knew you'd be on the case Rossco. just went and bought it myself. by the way... shotgun that maths/throats tee if you havnt got it already. i'm still undecided over it, but i thought i would shotgun it anyway. the TOF artwork is frigging awesome. reckon its seldon hunts best yet (of what ive seen). and the songs are there best stuff yet, the old stuff wandered a bit, this stuff is total direct. excellent.

Glad to see he's drifted away from the classic symmetrical stuff that he used to do for ISIS, Neurosis etc. They were getting a bit samey. The tunes are indeed excellent. You're welcome to that tee Mr. Huw. I'm not even sure what the black ball thing is (a birds nest?), but I'm not really a fan. One of the guys from Phoenix Bodies designed it.

Guest treader. Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 secondsmile, along with jairus have descended into the realms of "boring" with their last releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 i like the first ss album, dead good. is this still happening in Aberdeen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 "I Am not Romeo, You are not Juliet" is a BRILLIANT E.P but their new album stinks."Need to change the mapmaker" was fantastic. now they're shit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see them rehashing ideas and sounding bland, had they continued with that kinda stuff. The old singer was a bit of a herbert I believe - refusing to play shows, leaving half-way through sets and just general tittery. I really enjoy "Walk Into The Light...". The new stuff either sounds a bit pedestrian, or really good. I'll buy the album when it comes out.There are some TUNES on the first Jairus album, but that kickdrum sound is a crime against humanity. Hopefully they'll release that 2nd album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 nah, the kick drum sounds great on that album. really suits the sound imo.esp in Ara Pacis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 "I Am not Romeo, You are not Juliet" is a BRILLIANT E.P but their new album stinks.Man, I HATE that EP. sounded like days of fucking december and other such garbage of that time. "walk..." is far better imo, proper tunes and intelligent songwriting. better vocals too."Need to change the mapmaker" was fantastic. now they're shit too.never liked Jairus, the early stuff was bearable but i thought "need to change the drummer and adjust that kickdrum level" was gash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Opinions are like arseholes...I don't like that EP either. Album was a much better selection of songs written to a higher standard with a lot more care taken on the recording side of it.Jairus were ok. Not exactly the cutting edge of anything really.

Pure rotten. The "click" kick drum sound does my head in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
