I've been having trouble getting into Clear Horizon as well. Something about that chorus sounds all Slash and The Conspirators

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
The chorus is what puts the song over the top for me! Though I also love the dotted 8th note delay stuff at the beginning, as well as the pre-chorus and bridge. Just a great song top to bottom, IMO. I think it's one of the most musically interesting songs they've ever written.UninvitedZero wrote:I've been having trouble getting into Clear Horizon as well.

Yes. It's different for them. I love the chorus. Sounds like AB to me.

Yeah is a favorite of mine.

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
That super catchy chorus and the woahs are very Slash/MK/Conspirators to me too, but I like it a lot. That catchiness makes it an easy one to listen to.UninvitedZero wrote:I've been having trouble getting into Clear Horizon as well. Something about that chorus sounds all Slash and The Conspirators

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
I love Myles vocals on the prechorus in Clear Horizon. Grungy lower end stuff almost like something off Blackbird. The only thing I don't like is the TLH like vocals (can't place which song) at the beginning of the bridge ("Pure escape" bit).
Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
I just find it kind of boring. Someone said Myles didn't want it on the album and Tim had to convince him to include it?UninvitedZero wrote:I've been having trouble getting into Clear Horizon as well. Something about that chorus sounds all Slash and The Conspirators
Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
I feel like I'm contrary to everybody with this record. Everyone seems to love it but I don't. Majority seem to dislike Clear Horizon but I love it. The same with Forever Falling, there have been people comparing it to the likes of Blackbird - it's not even in my top 10 on the new album.
Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
Props to Tim if that's true. It's one of the best songs on the album.scarecrow wrote:I just find it kind of boring.

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
Lune is really good. Glad Clear Horizon is getting some love. It's the first tune I really connected to (especially with the Blade Runner similarities, but maybe that's just me.)

I saw it on the Ao12 Facebook page. Someone commented saying they really liked Clear Horizons and Tim commented telling that story about having to fight for it lolscarecrow wrote:I just find it kind of boring.

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
After listening album for two more times, I want to give an advice for those who are still struggling with this record: listen it with a volume slightly above the middle and take a walk during the process. Personally I always listen to music on the highest volume, but Walk The Sky sounds almost unlistenable with this approach.
You will hear more details and you won't suffer from tinnitus after the playthrough, but also you will hear that something is wrong with the recording of the instruments (I noticed the same thing on The Last Hero record) and also there is some stange thing that I only can describe as the sonic analogue of white mist that some people see when they don't feel well that I can hear during the whole record.
As for the songs, I still don't "feel" them and can't connect to anything except Dying Light. I still can't differentiate most of the songs, but after lowering the volume a few more moments that I liked popped up - I didn't even noticed that Myles did a fry-growl during one of the songs at the first listen.
Lower the volume. Thank me later.

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
Not a bad song on this record
Best line on the record might be "And then the days they ran out"

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
Thank you! This is what I've been saying lately on multiple threads, but no one has really commented back on it. The production for AB really shines when you listen in a lower volume than the typical person would listen to. I've listened to music in headphones full blast since I was a teenager in 2001. Old habits die hard, but I decided to listen to AB on a lower than normal volume recently, and I noticed I was hearing Marks harmonies and little intricacies I never noticed in my years if listening to AB. Seriously, listen at a lower volume if you have complaints about the mix.Sugar Blade wrote:After listening album for two more times, I want to give an advice for those who are still struggling with this record: listen it with a volume slightly above the middle and take a walk during the process.

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
Wow, thanks for the suggestion, I always thought Periphery was too harsh vocally for me but those two songs are amazing.
