oh god based on early reviews I am so glad I preordered this guy on vinyl

I'm being very patient with this, waiting for the Bleep downloads next week. I've waited 8 years, I can wait a few more days to make sure I'm listening to good files.

That's exactly where I'm at with this. I'm actually glad I missed the live stream. I need to hear this with my awesome studio phones.

I had to hold back from giving it a preemptive 5/5, though.

100% cd flac ;d

I've given it several listens, and it's pretty gold. I was a little let down by the shorter track lengths, but other than that I really like the new album. I should probably make a more in depth review, but laziness. Maybe I'll do it later.

Pretty much an instant classic in my eyes. 5/5.

Good album, but not their best though. I liked it but maybe it's because I recently got into them and I listened to some of their best albums before this one that it kinda ruined it. Overall I did not fall in love it like others are doing, but I am glad I downloaded it and it did really have some great highlights like "Reach For The Dead"

3/5

An enjoyable album. 4/5

Didn't like this at all. This was my first experience of the band and it was not a good one, though I've been advised I should try "Music has a right to children" first. This, however, I got about four tracks into, struggled through another three or so and then turned it off and put on Sabbath's new one instead. Just did not speak to me at all.

Maybe it's me. Maybe Boards of Canada and me are not compatible, but I saw no reason to continue what was, for me, a disappointing and quite annoying experience.

That's how I felt when duga recommended The Campfire Headphase to me back in 2010 when I had first started actively using this site.

Years later it's one of my favorite albums. Give it time.

Love this album. Jacquard Causeway is my favorite track. 5/5

Have to say I've never been a massive Boards of Canada fan, I've always wanted to like them more than I ever actually did. This album hasn't done much to change it for me, I dunno, I just can't force myself through it. Sometimes music stands out to me better in different situations, if I'm traveling or at the gym or in a car, maybe one of those will help, but right now sitting down it just sends me to sleep.

I feel like "Tomorrow's Harvest" is more condensed, and when all of the layers of a song have been established, it ends. Case in point, the vocal samples coming in on "Palace Posy" almost near the end, the drum layers finally coming together into a danceable jam in "Reach For The Dead in the last 45 seconds only to abruptly end. I don't mean the entire album is like this, but it feels as if pop out tracks are noticeably shorter (only two going over 5 minutes on the whole album), and don't sprawl out.

Good to listen an enjoyable album

Man, these guys can make good beats when they need to
Also this is synth porn of the highest degree.
