"In the past where the chorus would really grab you, instead
it is rather limp and just lies there".
John, my criticism of the band's post-'P=A' work is no secret.
Thanks though, for coming up with words to describe at least
one concrete reason for it.
Yes, The Church released albums for nearly fifteen years that for
the most part, were laden with 'shining moments'. Some albums
'grabbed' you at first play and, others took more time. And, despite each release having its small share of 'filler' quality
material, the true consistency of the band was to include on
every release thirty minutes of music that inspired and generated
awe in the minds of hardcode fans such as we Wombers.
Like most of you, no matter what the future brings I'll be a hardcore fan
of the band until my last breath.
Florian, you lucky bastard, even their latest work is inspiring awe in you (lol).
Unfortunately for me, (at least for now), I'm not in awe over
what the band has released of late but, I hope that changes in
the next couple of months.
John, you added a blurb about you thinking the band's energy
level was low on 'HOB'. Perhaps, although there are IMO a couple
of exceptions in 'Richochet' and 'Tranquility'.
Energy levels are cool... yeah, but
to me secondary to having an overall release of music that
makes a lasting impression.
Don't get me wrong, 'Anathesia' has made a much greater impression on
me than most of what I've heard the last few years.
But when I catch myself playing Church air-guitar, singing a classic
Kilbey lyric or, just mentally grooving on Church riffs, it is
most likely to be from 'P=A' or an earlier album.
Later, Fraulein.
Bliss comes first as a jangling flood ...
