07:37 - psykometal Guess I've been fortunate enough to not attract any such people...lol
07:37 - psykometal Well, I don't associate with anybody who listens to such rubbish. Not because I avoid those people like an elitist, just that literally none of my friends listen to that kind of music.
07:33 - Jaeryd17 You haven't heard of One Direction yet? Lucky you, you must shelter yourself well from the barrage of pop-bullshit that's all over the place. They're a really dull, cliche, by the numbers boy band. Like 5 of Justin Bieber.
05:36 - psykometal Oh One Direction is a band? Lol, I was wondering what he meant be a "one direction tour banner". I thought he meant the banner only went in a single direction. Lol. Grammar fail ftw.

Rarely does an album place you in the exact environment which its creators would have you experience. Even rarer, in my experience, is when such is achieved within the wide reaching scope of post-metal; albums can be loose in their effort to engage the listener and they tend to be vague in their atmospheric axis points. The lines of latitude are often blurred and while an atmosphere is usually present it can be an altogether indifferent experience as you fail to identify your location. Yet listening to Cult Of Luna's latest release Vertikal you'll likely be more the wiser about your surroundings.
Yep, this is quite a brilliant record. CoL have mastered a genre which can often be very boring with dynamic, varied and interesting songs. Once again they're without peer in their area of music.

Neurosis definitely let me down with the latest. Too safe... So atm I only see this band standing up. Hopefully Neurosis will get their shit together and make a better album so I can at least say that I enjoy more than just one band from this almost-dead genre. I give them the benefit of doubt since this is the first time I feel meh about their material.

Yeah I felt the same about the recent Neurosis. It was very meh, but still seemed to appear on every end-of-year list out there. I think you'll like this record. Each song seems to have an usual effect or texture, or an uncharacteristic melodic lead that really feels fresh for the band, and even genre.

I'll check it out asap. Can't wait to see them live at roadburn sicne they will obviously play some new stuff.

Have to agree with you, 2013's only just begun and I've listened to some great albums (this included)
Low and Cult of Luna is a great way to start the year. On first listen, I'm quite happy with this album. Theirs have always been growers for me, so no doubt it'll end up towards the top of my year-end list. Almost want to drop my 2012 albums and move on to this full-time.
A truly great album. I liked the variation in the songs. I haven't seen the movie that the album is inspired by, but I definitely got a science fiction vibe from it.
What in the world....? This is really amazing! and I thought they couldn't do anything darker than "Eternal Kingdom". They've totally outdone themselves.
It was noise. It's so awkward that "Noise" can be recorded and is being released. Why people waste their money on such a kind of stuff. You may buy a broken mincer and stick your ear to it. I bet it has more desirable sound than "Cult of Luna" !!
My first taste of the band, and what a delicious one it is too! I don't normally listen to this type of music but I'm glad I made sure to check out the new CoL album, since I've heard a lot of good things about it recently. The longer songs do take time to amount to truly phenomenal climaxes but it's the atmosphere created by every instrument that really makes this sound worthwhile to listen to. In particular the furious 'I: the weapon' and 'Synchronicity' both amaze me with their consistency and although the few songs that run under 5 minutes don't appear to add to the album in any way, it's unnoticeable when trying to take all this album in one go.

You're definitely not a fan of what you call "Noise" music.
Yes I may be drinking a lot of the fan-boy koolaid but this album gets better and better with each listen. In Awe Of is the best song they've ever written and is one of my favorite songs EVER! So good...
