001 weed problem
094 In human form this fiend to slay
105 I’m not here anymore
When I do more I’ll post them in groups of three. :) I tend to ignore album elements I don’t want to draw, and I like using every color.
Image is the 028 cover I drew at the start of my listen :) featuring me and my favorite Pokemon, Smeargle. I listened to the full 24 hours over 8 days, finishing yesterday.
Sound impressions:
I noticed the sound warp and discovered new parts as I listened. About three hours in I noticed a distinct ringing fuzzy in Even to the Edge of Doom that I couldn’t hear before, and 10 minutes later it vanished. Five hours in I noticed the hum of the loud drone that starts the loop. I heard a second ringing almost 14 hours in. I consistently thought the loop was speeding up or slowing down as I listened. The ‘faster’ sections were my least favorite so I googled the consensus when I had heard a few of the fast sections and then found that the loop was not slowing or speeding up. 14 hours in with the skipping audio was my favorite part :) the 17 hour wind blown drone part was cool too 2nd favorite part!! 19 hours in I heard a new starting loop chime I didn’t hear before. The ending reminded me of a previous section, I won’t spoil. There were guitar flourishes across the whole album, I liked those too. :)
How I felt:
When I was listening it was very calming. I am not freaked out by loops, ambients, and drones. The music would fade in and out of consciousness. I was pleasantly surprised when the reoccurring two hour Easter eggs came up in my listen. :)
Circumstanciql connections:
I saw BTS’ Arirang concert while listening to this album. With a few songs on their setlist I expect 028 to play concurrently or after. I got into BOH about three weeks ago at my aunt’s house, and prior got into ambient and drone while visiting different extended family, so mentally this album is tied up with various music loving family members, and BTS. :) While listening I went on lots of walks and drew lots of pictures. If I hear another album I like I will give another impression.
I’m not going to give this a score :)
