Re: Pendulum
Guys, Pendulum sounds a lot like the Ghost House music from Super Mario World:

Re: Pendulum
Its a beautiful song, perfectly placed in the middle of the record. Sadly Swallowed Whole cannot follow up...Yellow moon should have followed and then LTRP maybe..
A bit of the Cure in this one..

The tracklisting on LB doesn't make sense in many cases.bucketfinck wrote:Its a beautiful song, perfectly placed in the middle of the record. Sadly Swallowed Whole cannot follow up...Yellow moon should have followed and then LTRP maybe..

They just don't work together, many of them.
I think it'd be better if done like this:
1. Getaway
2. MYM
3. MFS
4. Infallible
5. Pendulum (and make it 5 minutes long at least)
6. Sirens
7. Swallowed Whole
8. Lightning Bolt
9. LTRP
10. Yellow Moon
Hidden Track: SBM

Re: Pendulum
Mystifying that this is so popular. I think the moodiness is so welcome that it's obscuring the fact that this is barely a song. And, yes, it's insane that the end isn't a minute-long percussion jam.

Re: Pendulum
I couldn't see where people were coming from when they were saying CC is barely a song, but I can see it with this. It feels like a sketch of a song and the lyrics seem kinda placeholdery. But still, I really enjoy listening to it.

Not sure on Pendulum yet, I feel like it could go either way for me at this point.

Re: Pendulum
It's actually way more composed and structured as a song than I thought it was going to be; from the earliest descriptions, I was expecting a more straight up noise/mood thing, that didn't really have a structure.benton netty wrote:Mystifying that this is so popular.

Re: Pendulum
Yeah, it's more structurally tight than Cold Confession.

Re: Pendulum
At least with Cold Confession, there were lyrics. The words here are just everything that rhymes with "oh." Probably took him five minutes to write.

The lyrics weren't better on CC.

Re: Pendulum
These are both really good songs. I think the music is better on pendulum, but the lyrics on cold confession are some of eddie's very best.

Re: Pendulum
I probably need to read them again, tbf. But the song didn't interest me enough.
