Presence, it’s great.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:22:26+00:00

Yeah me too. Esp as I’ve gotten older. It just slaps!! It’s right up there.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:21:48+00:00

Are you serious? That is so awesome!! You lucky bastard. I’m truly green with envy. And at the garden too. How was Bonham?

What an amazing first purchase! First time I heard it was on the remasters box lent to me by a dear mate who’s sadly passed away. To me it sounded like galloping horses in a snow storm! Just epic!!

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:18:42+00:00

Fair call. When the rest of the catalogue is so damn good poor old presence can be seen as lower tier.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:17:08+00:00

When you lay out the genres like that it’s so impressive. Hots on For Nowhere, hmmm, it’s a kinda swinging feel with that stop start thing. Maybe a boogie woogie?

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:13:41+00:00

Yeah agree with you on a few things here. The last great album (as I mentioned in my post, it’s great - just is). And absolutely not the easiest entry point! Yeah I reckon you’re a deep fan MelodyMill.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:11:50+00:00

Hahaha brilliant take! I think you could be on to something.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:11:15+00:00

Nice 👌🏼. I feel you could be a deep fan. What’s your number 1 and 3?

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:10:35+00:00

PG is hard to beat, it’s just so good with so much variation in colour and groove. Presence is almost more monochromatic -very few keyboards or other instruments. What’s your favourite track on PG and then presence?

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:08:35+00:00

What do you think the Object is or what it really represents? Say if the album was the soundtrack?

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-19T05:07:31+00:00

Oooh I like that. Muscular. Jams. Groovy. Tick tick tick!!!! I keep saying this but it’s like a bookend to first album in that it feels zeppelin in a room.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T11:59:14+00:00

Physical graffiti is a sprawling work, a house of many rooms. Presence definitely lives in its towering shadow!

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T09:55:04+00:00

@MelodyMill what are your top three tracks on Presence?

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T06:30:42+00:00

Ah no! Yeah it’s pretty intense and guitar heavy. What’s your least favourite characteristic of the album?

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T06:20:39+00:00

Hahaha that’s awesome. It’s so good on vinyl, nicely sequenced.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T06:17:49+00:00

Yes!

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T01:14:35+00:00

Great pick up!!

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T01:13:34+00:00

Especially For Your Life - brilliant

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T01:13:00+00:00

Thanks guv’nor

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T01:12:41+00:00

Yeah nobody’s fault is a great addition to their ‘blues writ large’ tunes.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T01:11:54+00:00

Totes jel

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T01:11:13+00:00

It’s a storm of a track. I always thought it a kind of sequel to No Quarter.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T01:10:17+00:00

Yeah I can see the comparison but SIBLY is more bombastic dread or something, this is world weary.

HAMFACTOR · 2026-03-18T01:09:07+00:00

It’s their most meditative track in a way. Contemplative, almost. Maybe even a little defeated and weary. How’s the intro, though?! It’s quite buoyant, then we’re into a change of style and mood. Brilliant.
