lol "the forum."

I get a lot of shit for liking some of these songs. But on my end I'm dumb founded by the amount of fans that still get tricked into thinking this band will ever impress any of us on the same level they did when we were young impressionable obsessive fans.

if you approach this record with a neutral attitude there's some decent music on this. yes there's horrible music too (hence 5 best 5 worst) but my god they're never going to be that band again. why are some of you always surprised and so disappointed? new lows? they hit their lowest low in 2010. this is an improvement on that, at least how i see it. I'm not disappointed and i'm not enthralled. whoop de fucking do.

just make a fucking list or shut up.

I think Cyr was the lowest musically, but 2010 was the lowest promotion-wise.

Cyr is low but imo not as low as tbk. Just a complete disappointment when it seemed like they were getting their shit together prior to Jimmy leaving.

Netphoria is usually pretty in sync on this stuff, but first your weird dismissal of the pretty good Cyr, and now your “least favourite” ATUM list contains some of the best-received songs.i don’t know what you’re hearing.

These are the ones I don't hate:

ATUM
Butterfly (Ugh)
Good In Goodbye
Steps in Time
Gold Mask
Avalanche
Empires (Eh)
Moss
Space Age
To The Grays
Beguiled (I guess)
Harmageddon (Eeesh)

Can we acknowledge how clearly tossed off these songs are that he doesn't even bother writing endings for most of them. They just... stop.

Overall the "aesthetic" of both is similar and yes, shite, but Cyr has better songs.

ATUM is mostly a 'cougared' collection of outtakes from 'Day 4 Nite' and 'Cyr.'

No idea how you guys are remembering the names of one track to the next, I think I could roughly place about half of these by title at best

top 5:
In Lieu of Failure
Canary Trainer
Butterfly Suite
Steps In Time
Embracer or Moss

I can't really make a bottom 5 list, because the ones I don't like are so indistinguishable from each other Hooray would definitely be at the top of the bottom.

I feel like you’re the only one here willing to say cyr is “pretty good.”

Moss is tacky as fuck, where as hooray is tacky as fuck but it’s tacky on purpose. Moss is just absolute shit.

And yet you're arguing ATUM is pretty good?
