this is kinda cool but its a christmas album so i'm not alowwed to like it.

the lyrics were kinda predictable to be honest sorry

but recording + musicianship were perfect as always

:( is nobody getting the concept album part of this.  was i too ambiguous?
Title: [ALBUM RELEASE/PRIZE MONEY] CHRISTMAS IS DEAD
Post by: Farren on December 28, 2009, 06:11:33 am
what was your concept for this one. Haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet but I will when I can.

I know flight and falling was way too ambiguous though for sure. When you posted your concept I had no fucking idea when listening to it that you were even aiming anywhere near that or even had a concept.
Title: [ALBUM RELEASE/PRIZE MONEY] CHRISTMAS IS DEAD
Post by: Puppet Master on December 28, 2009, 06:50:47 am
My guess is that the concept is about a guy, possibly Santa, who is alone on christmas and he kills himself.

Probably wrong, I'm amazingly bad at interpreting lyrics.

I want to see if people will get it without me telling them.  I may be jumping hte gun on saying i did a bad job because I dont think a ton of people have listened just yet.

i haven't listened to it in depth enough yet so take my previous crits with a pinch of salt, but i'm going to now and see if i can pull out a concept.

btw i think flight+falling was way to ambiguous but i loved to music too much to care about the lyrics. you should make something heavier, more rocky like an album of the aftermath-like tracks. thats my fav

naw work on them lyrics they're important and after you get real good at em it'll make all of your music that much better

yeah i knew flight and falling's concept was super ambiguous.  i always considered that concept more of a guiding narrative than something i actually expected to convey.  imo though this one is a lot clearer.  like... idk man!  the titles are the key.

that is actually what we are working on now.  an EP and an album are being worked on, both are planned to be heavier and darker than f&f
