Hmm.. I don't know them. How does it exactly sound like? Can you compare them with another band?

np: MDB - The Cry of Mankind

Nice album , indeed - I got it for several months now , and it's very cool to listen to.
I believe they are definitely trip hop , yeah...well of course it's a vast word ,but i think it's the genre that fits them the best....Or i would say "electronic rock" ,but again , everyone's his own vision of those genre...

Hmm about comparing them to other bands...i would say it's a subte melt beetween 'godspeed you black emperor' & 'Mogwai'...added with 'death in vegas' electro sound-like...

Their previous disc was great too , can 't remember the name of it right now.

Anyway , they definitely rules -

yeah, i saw also [what i think to be] their previous cd yesterday, but i was searching for the last one. actually i hadn't ever heard a note, but my father wanted me to buy that cd the first time i would come in milan for university. well, if you tell me the previous is great, i'll think about buying it too.

You All Look The Same To Me is a great album. I bought it recently after some friend gave me "Again" to listen to. What an awesome tune.

 

[opethpainter]

yes, "again" has this country\western intro which is amazing to me... and the rest of the song [a 16 minutes tune...] is great too

As for me, it's a bit uneven. Goodbye and Hate could have been left out easily. Meon is good but would be even better without the dreadful chorus.

On the other hand, Again and Numb are simply brilliant and there are more great moments throughout the album. All in all, I would say it's worth the money.

As for the label, I guess it's not too wide of the mark. If they really wanted to do the justice to the band they would have to sell their cds under a number of labels
