What if you 'get it' but don't like it because it's not very good? Devin's a great musician and all, but I get the feeling that Deconstruction's going to be a bit of a letdown.

First post and you choose to submit a comment you KNOW is bait for argument without the courtesy of explaining what you mean. Imagineer that!

N'awww, you think I'm trolling.

Explanation? It seems to start off alright, the middle is a bit shitty and the ending is probably the best bit. Seems to suffer from a lack of direction a bit and the bloke from Gojira doesn't seem to add anything. Hopefully the reason it's been leaked is because it's not one of the strongest on the album and the following release will be far superior as a whole. To be fair, Decon was never going to be my favourite.

Uninformed how? I'm just saying what I'm hearing!

You're basing your assessment of an ALBUM on an incomplete SONG. Also, you said "To be fair, Decon was never going to be my favourite." Thereby proving further that you don't base your opinion on evidence but speculation and supposition. Opinions that are formed like that I try to ignore. In my life, it's like listening to the Peanuts teachers.

A lot of newbies are going to be coming to the forum because of Deconstruction and Ghost. I don't think it's out of the question for someone to voice their opinion on something they've just heard, whether it's their first post or not..

I agree, anyway. The first and last bits of the song are better than the middle.

Oh, I don't mind it. I just think it's funny. It smells faintly of troll, in my experience. Moonburp strikes me, so far, as not as troll.

I LOOOOOVE a good argument. What I don't like is troll bait. And Moonburp has already proven to be of the former, not latter. But I can't see a very good argument with one a part of one song heard for an entire album. Can you?

Look up, Moonburp. I'm pretty sure I'm asking FOR your opinion, not for you to keep it to yourself. Or, am I not being clear?

I'm looking further up, where you say it's uninformed :P It's ok, mate.

I was talking about the song, anyway. I know full well that you can't judge an album on one song, which is why I'm waiting until the full album. It'll probably make more sense in the context of the whole album.

Holy shit.


^^ This. Not to say 'disappointed', maybe 'overwhelmed' might be a better adjective. Or maybe it was just my laptop speakers.

Also, was anyone else struck by the similarity in Sumeria's ending to Rammstein's 'Zestoren'?

P.S

hi

I would caution anyone who feels underwhelmed, unimpressed, or whatever, to not take the song out of the context of the album (which admittedly right now you kinda have to...). Decon is going to be a concept album like Ziltoid, some of Ziltoid's tracks taken individually may illicit a "huh?" or a "meh" reaction but in the context of the album fit perfectly and serve their purpose well.

Just sayin'.
