[kj] "In Cythera

[Brendan Quinn]

Here's the key to how they did it:

 

Don't assemble different drummers.

 

(Also, don't - EVER - drink wines that foam. Ever.)

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.
