With regards to your recent comment, I'm not sure I'd call it religious as much as spiritual, but I find alot of their work falls into that category. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jeffmo) http://hotelwomb.com/reply/69831 Sun, 02 May 2010 03:31:52 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Uninvited, like the clouds ]]> http://hotelwomb.com/reply/69829/Uninvited-like-the-clouds#reply-69829

Do the mix and report back what you dropped. I think there is 4-5 songs that could be switched with the best of BW2B and then it would rock big time. I have to think about it before I show my list. Naah, why wait? it would be something like this:

Block (the opener)
Unified Field (works well after Block)
Snowfaller
Saturation
Pure Chance
I Don´t Know (free form song in the middle)
Easy (to lighten up the mid section)
Pearls
Untoward
Day 5 (this just has to come after Untoward)
Pantechnicon
Song To Go

I understand the whole album thingy as I usually do that too with other music but most of The Church discography has become so familiar that I´ve had to discover new ways to enjoy it. Usually I just put all of the 1000 or so songs including solostuff on shuffle with... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (chrome3D) http://hotelwomb.com/reply/68690 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 08:32:09 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Uninvited, like the clouds ]]> http://hotelwomb.com/reply/68689/Uninvited-like-the-clouds#reply-68689 Severian wrote:

I think you found the reason why Tim doesn´t sing on The Church albums. They (SK) were f****d up enough to let him do it during the recording of The Refo:mation album but not later. Fando has to wait forever until Tim sings lead on The Church song because they are too straight now. This comparison is of course a relative issue as Tim = Ringo as a drummer but then he is also George Martin...

Now that I´m at it, I think there is only one other d-song in ULTC. Or maybe it´s half of a d-song because it is well developed and almost an universal song. 1,5 d-songs in the whole album is fine with me. I know and you know what The Church is all about. Songs that are about something yet they are almost anything you want them to be. Songs you can listen 100 times yet still have no clue what they are all about. I´m not saying they all should be like that. It´s just that ambiguity is the thing they are good at and that´s what they do more than often. Then harsh graphic stuff sticks out like a sore thumb.

ULTC is a funny entity. Sometimes I appreciate it a lot yet sometimes it fails to connect entirely. The single songs are really excellent yet... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (chrome3D) http://hotelwomb.com/reply/68685 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:03:32 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Uninvited, like the clouds ]]> http://hotelwomb.com/reply/68683/Uninvited-like-the-clouds#reply-68683 I've always loved that.

Uninvited is probably my most listened to, and has overtaken GAF as my favorite Church album.

Drugs are drugs, by the way. A lot of people use them. In particular, it seems like a lot of artists use them. Songs about drugs often don't work. But there are some that are really quite interesting. New Order's True Faith is an amazing song about drug addiction, for example. I personally like a lot of druggy sounding music because it reminds me of taking drugs but doesn't actually require it. I've always enjoyed Kilbey's here and there references to drugs.

If I think Day 5 is a good song am I then obsessed about religion?
If I think Unified Field is a good song am I then obsessed about friendship?
If I think (rightfully so) that the subjects in the songs of the band Eels are about electro-shocks, psychology, alcoholism and domestic abuse am I then obsessed about electro-shocks, psychology, alcoholism and domestic abuse?

I think not. Those are just subjects in published songs... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (chrome3D) http://hotelwomb.com/reply/68639 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 09:22:56 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Uninvited, like the clouds ]]> http://hotelwomb.com/reply/68637/Uninvited-like-the-clouds#reply-68637
I've always found the music on it brighter/happier than on most of their other albums, but when you actually listen a bit more it becomes apparent they aren't so chipper after all.  Sneaky little devils.  I like that.

Also, like cinoyes, what bothers me is Space Needle. SK has often claimed that his songs could be influenced by drugs yet they are not about drugs. With Space Needle even a non-druggie like me can see that it´s so obviously about drugs. I think it´s perfectly okay if the drugs are somewhere under the surface and it´s sort of like a hidden layer for those who are in to it. Most of the times that layer is not seen in the lyrics but in Space Needle that layer is... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (chrome3D) http://hotelwomb.com/reply/68635 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:13:34 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Uninvited, like the clouds ]]> http://hotelwomb.com/reply/68633/Uninvited-like-the-clouds#reply-68633
I always liked it and still do.  I understand the emphasis on pop or radio-friendly production is not a direction embraced by the devotes.  Like they were trying to go back to the period after Starfish and make a glittering bauble for the masses.  And looking back, for a band like this, seems like a shark deciding to stop swimming and begin contemplating the seaweed.

I take the contrary view: There is not one damn reason The Church shouldn't make a POP record, now and then.  In fact I recall a lot of grumbling about the production on FY, and some feeling the songs were ill served by it.  I think a good number of the songs on ULTC were pop songs, and others were decidedly not.  Space Needle, sure doesn't start... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (miles aweigh) http://hotelwomb.com/reply/68633 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 10:28:33 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Uninvited, like the clouds ]]> http://hotelwomb.com/reply/66672/Uninvited-like-the-clouds#reply-66672
My grandfather was an Artist, I do some drawing, but appreciate artists, and it means a lot to me.

Space needle was not my favorite, I can only tolerate it for so long. The title sounds like a Syringe, and it sounds like a druggy song.

Never Before is a wonderful song.

Day 5 is incredible. It is amazing
It's like he describes the creation of life on earth, from bacteria, amino acids, lightning in the seas, which is a theory that science has suggested. Read the title as "geneisis on the Fifth Day God Creatded..." The time frame is definitly Hebrew Calandar.

astonishingly confident and accomplished album methinks, the church record I return to most often... their best album since hologram of baal in my book

songs? Space Needle, Easy, the MWP one, Pure Chance - there's a lot to say about the guitar work but I'll have to review this record properly at a later date

great artwork too, another one just asking for a vinyl release

complaints? song-wise not at all, perfectly sequenced ... soundwise? shiny, spacey...but a bit too loud and sonically aggressive considering the nature of the songs (though the church are hardly on the frontline of the loudness war)

Firstly, I didnt take to this as quickly as BWTB but this albums a real grower, a good sign and there are some instant 'hits' here meaning songs that many will love straight off. Uninvited has a lot of class. I love some tracks on the Beast cd but this is the one, with more strength musically, more of a structure and finish so to speak. Yuk, sorry about the lame description but I know what i mean. Mind you I think Pearls from BWTB is a gorgeous track that i love to death.

BLOCK's a killer of an opening track. There's no way you'd mistake this for anything but a Church track. I love the way it kicks off with Steve's voice coming through nice and clear and then the guitars start building up and up in the background with the very gentle drumming getting faster and faster but still indiscreet... this is an epic song with just a tiny memory of 'Ripple' to me. My favourite songs ever are ones that bring... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Spirit March) http://hotelwomb.com/topic/2131 Thu, 09 Mar 2006 22:52:04 PST
