Every time you masturbate, the Blood Brothers kill a kitten.

― Nick Mirov (nick), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

man, that must take some time.. no wonder the albums tkane a couple years..

― chris andrews (fraew), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

What is it? Where can I hear it? Is it good? DETAILS

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 01:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmmm, just found it online, but every track appears to be called "Cocklovers",

Oh well, can't complain, it's a new Blood Brothers album.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Thursday, 29 July 2004 01:14 (twenty-one years ago)

it is apparently unmastered at present with some tracks that will not appear on the album. on one listen, i wasn't taken by it much, but i think i need to try again.

― Ryan WS (fffv), Thursday, 29 July 2004 01:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I doubt it's completely unmastered - it sounds almost final to me. Oh, and every track is NOT called cocklovers. That's probably the name of the team who ripped it or something. The tracks are untitled, but some are known from live shows, ie. Track 2 = Trash Flavored Trash.

And the whole bloody thing is staggeringly awesome. I hope they keep the bulk of the tracks at least.

I've been listening to my MP3s of "Burn Piano Island Burn" quite a bit lately. I think I need to go out and get that one, and maybe this new one as well.

it's like outkast meets kathleen hanna inna fine style.

― harshaw (jube), Friday, 30 July 2004 04:42 (twenty-one years ago)

If this unmastered advance is anything to go by, this may just be the best album of the year, by a long shot.

Also, I think Johnny Whitney may have reverted and lost his puberty. But damn if it doesn't make for some awesome vocal work.

Please tell me that music that fits this description actually exists.

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Friday, 30 July 2004 12:48 (twenty-one years ago)

...so that we can find it and kill it

― g--ff (gcannon), Friday, 30 July 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Some of this album really does sound like that.

― Simon H., Friday, 30 July 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

if it sounds like that..... wow

― Whiskeytown Littlecock (ex machina), Friday, 30 July 2004 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Although it has a little more screaming than you might expect from that desciption.

― Simon H., Friday, 30 July 2004 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Fuck slsk.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Friday, 30 July 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Have my children, you beautiful person.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Friday, 30 July 2004 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh. It's gone!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Friday, 30 July 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Just a sec, I've got in on slsk. My name is remmelt.

More people must hear this record!

― Simon H., Friday, 30 July 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I am excited.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Friday, 30 July 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

And I just can't hide it.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Friday, 30 July 2004 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Doo doo do dooo do, doo doo do doo do fight it.

three weeks pass...

this has to be the first and only album in history where the one sheet lists the words "born against" and "basement jaxx" in the same sentence.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 23 August 2004 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm either disgusted or INHUMANLY EXCITED by that.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 23 August 2004 19:28 (twenty-one years ago)

So like when is this out?

― o. nate (onate), Monday, 23 August 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I have Burn Piano Island Burn but haven't listened to it in months. Will dig it out today and re-assess. I liked working to it. The point of this post...unclear.

― piers (piers), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I got BPIB not too long ago. I like listening to it while I'm falling asleep or driving (but not both at the same time).

― o. nate (onate), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i mean, this record is just unbelievably good. i think i prefer the "complete sessions" leaked thing, with 20 tracks, to the offical album. this weekend i went back and listened to this adultery is ripe, which had been my fave record of that year it came out (98? 99?), and man did it sound amateurish now. "doctor doctor" is still amazing tho.

my only complaint with the offical release: listening to the "complete sessions" shit i had created my own sequencing to create a continuous build in tension that was never satisfied. i found that the songs worked REALLY well that way. the offical release now sounds almost indulgent to me.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 30 August 2004 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

yanc3: post your alternate tracklisting pls.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 30 August 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't have track names. lemme figure out how the "complete sessions" thing (which is named "track 1" "track 2" etc) corresponds to the real titles.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 30 August 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

this may be useful to some:

Doctor Doctor is very good

What cultural touchstone are non-Americans missing that prevents us from liking this, or (in my case) imagining liking this?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 13 September 2004 06:39 (twenty-one years ago)

fluoridated water? or do y'all have that?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 13 September 2004 07:33 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha, i think you needed to have gone to an american highschool between '95 and the early 00s to like the blood brothers. although i did and i don't etc; what i really mean is that i think you had to have been weaned on earlier screamo to be used to their vocal stylings (is it still all beat poetry delivered vein-poppingly and impishly?) and perhaps some mathish stuff as well.

― jake b. (cerybut), Monday, 13 September 2004 09:15 (twenty-one years ago)

"you needed to have gone to an american highschool between '95 and the early 00s" + "you had to have been weaned on earlier screamo" = does not compute.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 13 September 2004 23:44 (twenty-one years ago)

well you know that string of radio smashes heroin and antioch arrow had in the late 90's.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 00:43 (twenty-one years ago)

i think it was when all those gravity bands got on the Clueless SDTK

― artdamages (artdamages), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 01:20 (twenty-one years ago)

haha I really quite like this even tho the only other hardcore I like is, um, lightning bolt & men's recovery project.

― etc, Tuesday, 14 September 2004 04:08 (twenty-one years ago)

i think you needed to have gone to an american highschool between '95 and the early 00s to like the blood brothers.

I like The Blood Brothers and I went to a single-sex private school in north london.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 19:00 (twenty-one years ago)

three weeks pass...

So is this out yet?

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

you can listen to it on an ecard....

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm listening to it now it's really good....i think it comes out soon...

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

It's out Tuesday. Also, I am Canadian and this is my favorite album of the year so far.

― Simon H., Wednesday, 6 October 2004 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Congratulations!

― My Dinner With Little Lord Travolta (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

It was a reference to the "american highschool" thing.

― Simon H., Wednesday, 6 October 2004 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

yes obv. i didn't mean that to be taken doctrinarilly. i just think they make more sense if you, like myself and many people i went to highschool with, cut your teeth on 'basic' american hardcore and then moved up thru the eventual splinterings (especially those that walk the line b/t hardcore and emo) although perhaps they'd sound better if you've never heard converge

― jake b. (cerybut), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

three months pass...

ign now does music reviews. awesome.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Monday, 31 January 2005 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow. That's quite impressively shit, isn't it?

(I have owned this album for all of three days and am already cursing myself for not buying it earlier. BTW, I went to a comprehensive school in the middle of rural Sussex.)

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 31 January 2005 23:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Why is he even reviewing this specific genre of music?

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 00:14 (twenty-one years ago)

"It's too loud and I'm too old" would have saved the readers a lot of time instead of the actual review.

― donut christ (donut), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

funny thing is, its their quietest, slowest and most pop album

― chris andrews (fraew), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Mentioning Plant & Page as comparison points = RUN FORREST RUN!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 04:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't trusted IGN since they slagged off Sega Rally in a review of some rubbish N64 racing game.

― haitch, man? (haitch), Tuesday, 1 February 2005 04:08 (twenty-one years ago)

This really is a great album, but lately I've found that Opeth's Deliverance is giving me most of what I got from Crimes (soft/harsh vocals, mathy complex rhythms, proggy song constructions with lots of different section, balls-out riffage, angsty lyrics) and it even has prettier melodies!
