[kj] Pylon further...

[Jim Harper]

Who came up with the triptych idea? I don't recall anyone mentioning a triptych when Absolute Dissent and MMXII released.

 Since we're looking for more Pylon
 discussion, I'll enlarge on my comments, informed by
 listening to the album on repeat since it became
 available.
 
 In terms of consistency,
 for me this is the band's strongest album since Night
 Time. The general quality is very high. Even the weakest
 tracks (Delete and New Jerusalem IMHO) are still decent. For
 me, every KJ album since NT has included some fantastic
 material and a clutch of tracks I simply can't get into.
 That's not the case with Pylon. That may change when I
 hear the extra tracks, but that's my current
 assessment.
 
 As to quality, the best
 songs from Pylon are among the best the band have released
 from Extremities onwards. Big Buzz, Euphoria, Into The
 Unknown, New Cold War are all up there with Pandemonium,
 Money Is Not Our God et al. 
 
 In other words, it's a late-period
 masterpiece, a truly great achievement.
