The Campfire Headphase is their best album. Maybe that's not too controversial, really.

Got a new one after relistening to In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country entirely for the first time in years:

Amo Bishop Roden and especially Zoetrope are amongst their very worst songs, never understood the apply for ABR, which seemed like a okay track the first time i listened to it (I already knew it was pretty popular in the fanbase), but felt more and more lazy and unimaginative (especially compared to Kid for Today on the same release) everytime i came back to it (rarely that's for sure, but it's not my fault if this track is bland).

The worst is when people say the EP is a teasing of Geogaddi or can be compared to it. Just, not at all, in fact. You better apologize to His Greatness right now, or it's you that will be send in a horrible place really out of everything.

Oh and In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country (Edit) should have appeared instead of the original version. Fading out the track is lazy and boring.

I love ABR so much. I get that it doesn't offer much in terms of progression, but in reality, most BoC tracks don't. They often build their music around a singular beautiful idea, with little details evolving over the course of the track's duration. Some of these singular ideas resonate more with certain people, and ABR's just so happens to have me in a chokehold. :lol:

Definitely agree that the EP feels totally unrelated to Geogaddi, though. Obviously there are surface-level thematic similarities with the Waco/Koresh stuff, but in terms of vibe and sonics, it's a very different release.

In here is a tragedy, art thou player or audience?
Be as it may, the end doth remain:
all go on only toward death.
...
There is nothing which cannot become a puppet of fate
or an onlooker, peering into the cage.
