LEPROUS announces North American Coal Tour 2014

[Harvester]

What album is a good place to start? Might go to this depending on the opener.

My guess is that you will not like them. Their first release was not prior to 1985.

My guess is that you will not like them. Their first release was not prior to 1985.

That is always a concern.

I WILL NEVER SUBMIT TO ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID, MILTON.

I saw what you did there

When Coal came out, I gave it a few listens and nothing stood out. I figured it was just going to subpar compared to Bilateral. It happens -- a band releases an amazing album and then the next album just can't hold a light to it. However, as the namesake kind of references, I figured there must be a diamond somewhere in the album. And then it happened! The early synth lines in 'The Valley' really began to crack open the album for me. It's probably not my favourite track anymore, but it definitely opened the album up for me.

I feel that Bilateral is much easier to get into, but Coal might just be the better of the two. As I tell others, Bilateral is my 'favourite' but I find that I listen to Coal way more often.

What album is a good place to start?

Bilateral I'd say. If you like a heavier Queen X The Mars Volta you'd like them.

Bilateral is my 'favourite' but I find that I listen to Coal way more often.

Lately I have found this to be the case as well.

Valley, The Cloak, Echo are probably among my faves...

For me it's Tall Poppy Syndrome

Coal takes effort and multiple spins to really appreciate, so I wouldn't recommend that one to a newbie. Bilaterial is probably your best bet.

Bilateral is my favorite, but I've only heard Coal once, and I've never listened to Tall Poppy Syndrome in full, so take from that what you will.

All this being said, Leprous is still in my Top 5 for bands I'm excited to see this September.

 

[nailz]

Leprous is one of those bands who I will never listen to on album, and will always go see live if possible.

Quick note regarding the Toronto show...

It has been moved to EL MOCAMBO, same date and time.

Is this the right link to get tickets for the Toronto show?
