THIS IS THE 3RD COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT I'VE BOUGHT,HAVE NEARLY GOT FULL SET NOW! I KNOW STEVEN AND AVIV ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR OWN RIGHT BUT I CAN'T FATHOM OUT WHY THIS BAND AREN'T ONE OF THE BIGGEST IN THE WORLD.....OH,HANG ON A MINUTE,THEY'RE NOT THAT KEEN ON THE LIMELIGHT,DON'T GET ARRESTED FOR DRINK AND DRUG OFFENCES EVERY 10 MINS,NEVER APPEAR IN SMASH HITS OR BLOODY HEAT MAGAZINE,ARE ALL GREAT MUSICIANS....NOW IT'S BECOMING CLEAR. SO BLACKFIELD,IF YOU GET TO READ THIS,TRY AND MUTATE YOURSELVES INTO BRITNEY/AMY/PETE/ANY TALENT-FREE POP IDOL/X FACTOR AIRHEAD ETC AND WORLD DOMINATION WILL BE YOURS - WE'LL THINK YOU'RE PRATS BUT HEY,BUMS ON SEATS LOVEY,BUMS ON SEATS. THE ALBUM OPENER,"ONCE" STARTS WITH A JUNGLE-DRUM LIKE SOUND AND BUILDS INTO A WALL OF BEAUTIFUL HARMONIES,GREAT GUITAR RIFF AND CLASS OOZING OUT OF EVERY PORE."1000 PEOPLE" FOLLOWS AND IS ALSO A FANTASTIC TRACK BUT THE PICK,FOR ME ANYWAY,ARE "CHRISTENINGS","EPIDEMIC" AND "WHERE IS MY LOVE?",THE LATTER OF WHICH FIRST SURFACED ON THE BAND'S FIRST ALBUM AS AN EXTRA TRACK ON THE BONUS DISC. I LISTEN TO "CHRISTENINGS" FREQUENTLY AND IT NEVER BORES ME,JUST FILLS ME WITH A JOY THAT CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED ON VERY RARE OCCASIONS BY VERY FEW BANDS.THE WHOLE SONG PACKAGE IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT IN ITS EXECUTION WITH LYRICS,PLAYING AND VISION THAT FEW ARTISTS WILL EVER EVEN GET NEAR TO. "EPIDEMIC" HAS GROWN ON ME SO MUCH SINCE I FIRST HEARD IT THAT IT IS NOW ALMOST AS SPECIAL AS "CHRISTENINGS",BUT NOT QUITE. THIS TRACK EPITOMISES EVERYTHING THAT BLACKFIELD ARE ABOUT...SOMETIMES SIMPLE,YET ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL,JUST CHECK OUT THE EASY-PEASY 3 NOTE PIANO REFRAIN AND TELL ME THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU SHIVERS UP YOUR SPINE. MARRY THAT TO THE GREAT SINGING,LYRICS,GUITAR WORK,FEMALE BACKING VOCALS ETC AND THE FULL PACKAGE JUST MAKES YOU WONDER WHY THESE GUYS CAN GO ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS VIRTUALLY ANONYMOUSLY. LOOK,IF YOU'RE THINKING OF BUYING THIS AND STILL AREN'T SURE,DO ME AND,MORE IMPORTANTLY,YOURSELF A BIG FAT FAVOUR AND SNAP IT UP AT ONCE.THERE ARE TOO MANY THINGS I COULD SAY ABOUT THIS ALBUM AND WE'D BE HERE ALL WEEK,JUST TRUST ME,GO AND BUY IT IMMEDIATELY AND CONGRATULATE YOURSELF ON YOUR STUNNING TASTE AND FOR BUYING AN ALBUM THAT WILL STILL SOUND CONTEMPORARY AND FRESH IN 20/30 YEARS TIME.....IT'S THAT GOOD.Read full review
as a hardcore porcupine tree fan, i had high expectations for blackfield. I wasn't disappointed. If anything, blackfield are actually better. The songs stick and hold up on repeated listening. The band is every bit as talented as the tree. That alone is saying something, since the tree has richard barbiert and gavin harrison, two of the finest musicians ever to walk the face of the earth. I highly recommend this and their previous release.
Excellent quality
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
/Reviewed the first album and was impressed by the harmonys and musical content so I purchased their second offering and I was not disappointed.
This is even better than the first album, and that is saying alot. Steven Wilson does it again with the second album. He is definitively a genius when it come to producing/Performing great music.
