Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway

[Nate The Great]

Anybody else down with this?

They've once again followed Neurosis' lead, but they're starting to differentiate themselves now. There's this cool Southwestern feel to this disc. It feels like it could have been the soundtrack for that movie U-Turn.

 

[General Zod]

Interesting.

It's good but no "Salvation". I'll comme to it again when my boredom for all things remotely cloning the post-hardcore formulas will have cooled down.

 

[Eminor]

I got this for review, and am very impressed after only a couple listens. Nate's right on as far as the odd, SW feel. Really helps them carve out a space of their own.

Willowtip has this for 11 bucks, btw.

 

[Dev]

I don't see the Neurosis comparisons on the one hand and on the other it's not that memorable. D'oh

 

[Ellestin]

I don't see the Neurosis comparisons

There's none honestly

 

[Arunas]

Funny thing is that I was going to start a topic about Culf Of Luna also. It seems that it's really solid material. I've listened to it only couple of times, but it appears that they've really evolved, I agree they're starting to really differentiate themselves. Very very interesting. And as comparisons to Neurosis, Isis or Pelican cannot be avoided, there's not really much to compare. The most similiar thing about these bands is the mood, and the rest is pretty different. As for new Cult Of Luna, you could hear some interesting stuff inspired by these bands + bunch of other (new) ideas.

you have piqued my interest!!

 

[Arunas]

Oh man the last track is awesome. Damn this is good

 

[Demonspell]

I keep hearing that this is their best release and the one that sees them overcome the Neurosis clone accusations...going to give this a fair listen like I did with Salvation, which just left me wanting to hear Panopticon again.

 

[J.]

I really can't stand this band. ANd they look emo.

 

[Night Mare]

I am really, really keen to get my hands on a copy of this album, I love Salvation.

Cult Of Luna side-project Koma deserves more attention.

I've been trying to find that new Khoma album, but I can't find anywhere in the US that sells it.

Help a brutha out!

 

[Ellestin]

don't thank me

 

[Nate The Great]

don't thank me

What are you trying to say? That's a link to some Amputator MCD.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

yeah, i'd love to get my hands on those Koma/Khoma albums myself

 

[spikes77]

'Finland' and 'Dark city dead man' are indead great songs. I wonder if this band has ever toured the U.S? Does anyone know?
