[kj] "In Cythera

[GREG SLAWSON]

If 2012 is at all like the last album, there will be plenty of diversity. On the latter the leaked tunes were In Excelsis or Endgames, I think, which were both good ones. 
But the album featured a lot more--bone crushing metal like the title track, Great Cull, and This World Hell, the synth pop of ESS and Raven King, punky tunes like Singularity,
a reggae number, etc. Hopefully the new one will be as diverse. But so far it seems to be what we think of as the Joke--especially their 1980s albums--than the somewhat stilted
sounding move toward metal over the past decade.

I think the song was immediately likable. I still wasn't able to figure out 
how to get the vid- but im sure the song and vid paired together is quite 
something. 
 Though with what I heard so far, im hoping these arent the 'stand 
out' tunes-- 
Im still waiting to hear something from Big Paul back there..
  When I first heard Intravenous (well more specifically the ending) I 
was like, wow  now that is dangerous- what i'd expect to hear when the 
earth goes up in flames..never heard anything in a song like that before. 
 Hoping for something as such, but didn't want whole album to 
be  fire and brimstone either...

In 
  Cythera is EXCELLENT!!! From listening to Cythera and Rapture, it sounds 
  
like there's going to be more continuity and consistency on 2012. I liked 
  
most of AD, but there were some tracks that didn't appeal to me.  I 
  am 
looking forward to picking up the album and single in the near 
  future!!!

Thanks for the FLV video post, I too was having issues trying 
  to view from 
the states.
