Alec Ferris Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've never really been a fan of Isis' or Mastodon's production, but I don't know how much of that is intentional. Consistent but not homogenous is what they should be aiming for with Album Seven though. Yeah, that would be cool. I want to see them focus on working as a three piece, but a few more experimental tracks would be great. I never quite got used to the vocal mixing for Isis, but liked the production otherwise and Mastodon's has always been great for me. Some subtle post-rock elements might be nice too. I'm not expecting them to turn into Mono or anything, but it'd add some more possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Ferris Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I like how we're straight back to recycling the same stuff about how we vaguely want it to sound. I find it interesting that so many people have poo-pooed the idea of using any kind of futuristic concept on the basis that we probably won't have space travel in the future. What's wrong with escapism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I want more rock tracks And more soft tracks And some more piano I also want Matt to use his guitar more And I want them to go back to the basics of just being a three piece rock band And then some more electronic tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Ferris Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 No 3 part symphonies I wouldn't want an orchestral symphony, but I'd like another extended piece, with or without electronic stuff and largely eschewing verse-chorus-verse. Shall we just let this thread lie low until we can come up with some new ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 What I really need is one heavy piano song. Yeah I know I've said it many times already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwightKSchrute Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 So basically they're gonna need to make a 20 song album. Thinking about it, I actually wouldn't mind a double album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwightKSchrute Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 What I really need is one heavy piano song. I totally agree. The emphasis on piano was one of my favourite things about their earlier albums. They seem to have forgotten about it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I totally agree. The emphasis on piano was one of my favourite things about their earlier albums. They seem to have forgotten about it now. Not really. Showbiz: Sunburn, Cave's ending(?) OOS: New Born intro, Space Dementia, Feeling Good(?) Absolution: Apocalypse Please, B&H, RBS, Endlessly(?) BHAR: Hoodoo The Resistance: USOE, I Belong To You, Exo 2, Exo 3 The 2nd Law: Survival intro/first section, Explorers, Isolated System(?) The only album with a particular lack of piano is BHAR.

Hat Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Why the question marks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Why the question marks? Wasn't sure as to whether some of them totally counted or not because they were either on keyboard or only a small bit of the song/not very prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Well if you're counting small bits/not very prominent bits then you could add like... Fillip, Falling Down, Unintended and HTAILY on Showbiz alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Also I really like the keyboard part in Animals. And don't forget Darkshines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it depends on what they meant by an 'emphasis of piano', I don't know whether that means prominent piano songs/parts or just any use of keys.

Hat Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Well we can at least agree that they definitely haven't forgotten about the piano. I'm sure Matt still comes up with the majority of his ideas on it, and it features in one form or another on most tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabea Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 What I really need is one heavy piano song. Yeah that would be great....I always loved songs like Space Dementia or Butterflies and Hurricanes with those huge and impressive piano parts and I think that it would be cool if they return to this direction a bit. As already mentioned there HAVE BEEN piano based songs on the last albums but in my opinion they weren't as impressive as the piano songs on OOS and Absolution.

Alec Ferris Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 What I really need is one heavy piano song. Yeah I know I've said it many times already I'm currently envisaging some kind of massive song that starts off with a massive slow guitar riff, then segues into a huge piano part before speeding up and switching over to guitar again. The Ocean have some tracks that handle transitions like that really well, I reckon Muse could pull it off superbly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiT Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 They need to make a heavy space rock tune with Drop D riffage, huge piano parts, spacey/drone/arpeggio synth falsetto singing during whole song. Something like a more evolved full version of the outro of Space Dementia. They have the talent to accomplish such songs instead of Madness-like pop songs. They say they love experimenting. They have done enough in that direction, they should explore something more experimental, abstract, futuristic next generation music. However they'll probably just continue this pop way:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Is it a fact that the future of music has to be heavy and prog and be all over the place? I don't see why it couldn't just be to take the electronic music to new places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, pop is not always bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
