I wouldn't make the statement that everything they do sounds the same. Listen to most of their pre-2000 stuff. Their earlier stuff is world's apart from their stuff now; most of it doesn't even sound like the same band.

Anyone seeing them on their US tour or hear the new album? I'm seeing them in LA in October, and actually haven't heard enough of the new album to make any judgements.

General thoughts welcome too, of course.

I saw Envy live, and DEAR GOD.. Was it spectacular, it was a mind bending / blowing experience, the performance was great, the crowd was into it, and every band playing on the tour was so happy they were performing with that band specifically from Japan? I mean their new album is so good, along with everything else they made.. It's just a plethora of wonderful with this band, and I don't regret ever hearing about them..

Dunno if a lot of Envy fans still lurk the boards, but I'm just posting here to say that their new album is incredible, in my top 5 of the year easily.

Their live show 2 weeks ago was just killer. Most of my favorite bands are not together anymore, so I'll be savoring those memories for a long time.

I've listened to their first album and found it pretty boring and samey but their split with Thursday was excellent.

Their new album is my top 3 this year. So good.
