More of the same. The vocals on Purple Blood are better. Sounds Adore-esque in places.
Dulet in E, meh. At least it has guitars on it. Bit sick of that one-note high synth sound at this stage. |

Purple has at least a special vibe, I like the instrumentation. That´s how u should use electronic parts.
Dulcet is typically what i expected as track 4.... a boring, horrible synth based production with no highlights, repetitive and this typically post 2000 shitty billy singsang |

Be nice if the songs (not just these two) had longer intros. As it is Cyr has the longest (about 30 seconds). The rest of them have Billy coming in around the 10 - 15 second mark, if not straight away.

PURPLE BLOOD
I’m in love with your god I’m in love with your fear By the touch of your hand, I’m far from here Oh, for sunny days When life was flat embrace And might love come what may Shot to ground Set it off, like your phoenix I will fly From dread dawns to sky I’m in love with your god Fever by your side Sun is so you cannot rise Fever by your side Sun is so you cannot rise I’m in love with your god I’m in love with said fear By the blush of your thorn I’m lost but near But, oh, for sunny days Shot to ground Set it off, like your phoenix I will fly From dread dawns to sky I’m in love with your god Fever by your side Sun is so you cannot rise Fever by your side Sun is so you cannot rise Hunger greets my flees So solace thunder agony A fever by your side Sun is so you cannot rise ___________ DULCET IN E From our tree swings an apple A pear or a candle That once caught captive of your love Is asked by dear time to sway Is asked by dear time to sway Never held, the memory unto Our edifice as serves you Is singly rhapsody and koan Where a heart like mine belongs Where a heart like mine belongs No flower outlives its raindrop No tower outlives its hilltop I'm necromancer and your balm Is it hearth of silent knowledge From fount of easy bondage I'm never more than you could want Where a heart like mine belongs Where a heart like mine belongs Yes, where a heart like mine belongs From our tree, swings an apple A pear or a candle That once caught is captive of your love From our tree swings an apple A pear or a candle That once caught is captive of your love No flower outlives its raindrop No tower outlives its hilltop I'm necromancer and your balm Where a heart like mine belongs Where a heart like mine belongs Yes, where a heart like mine belongs Last edited by Forgotten Child : 11-21-2020 at 06:01 PM. |

Lol no mate that’s not how you should use electronic parts, unless you’re a Depeche Mode cover band.
I’ve always liked TFE and the only positive thing of CYR is how fresh and listenable that album sounds now compared to this sorry mess of plastics, silicon and random female backing vocals. Last edited by TheAlter : 11-20-2020 at 05:12 AM. |

Purple Blood probably had some potential but yet again, baffling production choices make this unlistenable. Those backing vocals are atrocious.

Lol... it seems that i am the only one left to dig some songs. I like purple blood, but dulcet is this cheesy instrumentation that sounds like a song for kids.....
Overall we know that synth are all over the 20 tracks. No big diversity there. Youtube comments overwhelming, how come? |

They're ok. I feel that they could both be modest hits if sang by a young woman with a nice big bum.
Dulcet in E. There's not really anything wrong it. Nice song. Purple Blood. Stick a noisy tonnes of pedals and feedback solo about 2/3rds in and come back in at 3:15ish with some heavy fuzz guitar, noisy lead and maybe big acoustic drums for another go around of the chorus. Then everyone goes whoooo instead of "that's it?". "Do the needful" as they say in India. Overall, typical of this whole countdown thing. Couple of nice enough songs that are good as part of the album but not exciting or substantial enough to be singles. Mental release strategy to be honest. |

But this is the modern style - we giving people what they want in this very specific regard, but doing our own thing otherwise... Zzzz

Billy’s vocals on Dulcet are horrible. Purple’s alright I guess. I listened to about 20 seconds of both, like I’ve done the whole album, and came to the conclusion it’s trash.
Fuck you, Billy. |

I'd say it's easily the best of the new songs. Reminds me a bit of Eye, which is a compliment.
But the idiotic vocal mix, we all know this is the way forever and forever. Will be the same thing with the Machina reissue, although at least he was still singing mostly decently back then. Dulcet is sub-Coldplay. Every song just seems so disposable to me. They're all the same structure, same length, plodding drums. In the old days Purple Blood would have built up to something in the end, maybe some Jimmy drums to change the dynamic, some distorted guitar. |

Billy has been acting so ridiculous and defensive lately that its made it nearly impossible for me to actually enjoy this.

I must be crazy, but I'm starting to quite like the overall vibe of this record. *♀️

I like the vibe but it doesn’t deliver. There are too many bands!

Fucking garbage 0/10
So far the only song I like legitimately like is Birch Grove, and even that sounds like a boring Future Embrace reject I suppose Dopemeine Addict is ok These new ones are pointless though |

These two have grown on me after several listens. Dulcet is probably my favorite after Wrath.

Lol, is that what he's saying? I figured it was "We're high like my love" except with "love" pronounced like "low" in modern Billy fashion.
I listened with my good headphones and there is a barely audible "s" at the end, although I can't hear any "d" sound at all. I actually like that part, it's a nice hook, but I'll never understand why he can't pronounce words properly. |
